Hidden above NB Sørensen's is a fine dining venue that few know about. There is no signage and…read morenothing from the restaurant downstairs would point otherwise to a tasting menu venue above. If you call and ask however, you can have a much more intimate experience than the first floor with a chef that did some time at Daniel in NYC. A slew of snacks, bread from Norwegian childhood, beef cheeks, Norwegian bleu cheese on the day's local vegetables, cod and sweetbreads are amongst the items we had. A generous wine pairing, chemex coffee and some delicious sweets to boot. A cool slightly offbeat place for a finer meal in Stavanger

The lady who owns the café is so sweet and lovely. It's a private business and her and her husband built up this cafe and one in Sandnes. Good job!!! Creds!

I enjoy smiling, happy, faces and since the custom around here is for people to keep to themselves, it's nice to walk into a coffee shop and be greeted with good eye contact and a smile, regardless of who is behind the bar. The glass front of the shop allows for fun people watching while you sit and drink your coffee too.

Cute cafe along Fargegaten, The Street of Colors…read more When a local Stavanger hairdresser wanted to infuse a pop of color into this street who knew that he would create a tourist attraction? This cute cafe is so cozy and inviting. Love the colors, the books and the board games. Coffeeshop by day. Bar at night. A great place to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea with family and friends.

The bar has plant-themed wallpaper and both fake and real plants scattered about the bar. They also have both indoor and outdoor seating available. They offer mostly premade cocktails, but they do have a few basic options available. They also have a fairly wide draft beer selection and a decent selection of board games to play. If you want to play games and drink beer in Stavanger, then I think Bøker og Børst is the place!

The burgers are not more than average, but the cakes are supposedly delicious. The service is unfortunately lacking a lot. Did the staff ever get any training? On my previous visit they prepared the food, but forgot to bring it to the table. The long wait rendered it hardened and substandard. However, no compensation was offered. The next time the waitress denied that there was a wifi. While I went to the the cashier to get the password, the same waitress cleaned off my table - before I had been served. Taking a good bite of my burger, I realized it was a cheddar burger without cheddar. The waitress brought the burger back to the kitchen where they put on the cheddar - on the burger I had started on. Being reheated it ended up too dry, lacking in taste. On the other hand, the staff are friendly and smile - that compensates for a lot.
