Fish and chips were solid, and I really liked the pea mash, but nothing extraordinary. The seafood pasta was probably the best thing here: the sauce was creamy, rich, and tomatoey, with notes of fennel and white wine. The seafood was a little lacking, but overall a very enjoyable meal.

It notes on their sign that they have "probably the best fish and chips in the world" and I must say, the fish was crispy and very flavorful. The fish and chips come with fish, fries and your choice of dipping sauce. The small order has 1 piece of fish, two for medium, and three for the large. They also have a selection of burgers as well. Service was a little slow after we ordered, but it was worth the wait. That being said, There was a solid line to order the entire time we were there! There are tables and seating available outdoors or you can take away. We would defiantly recommend and would come back again.

The food was yummy and the service was courteous and efficient. There's a vast array of pizza choices, kebabs, burgers, and chicken. They have a menu in English if you need that. I sampled two different pizzas, both delicious, the kebab, and the skewered chicken with garlic sauce. The chicken was heavenly. This isn't gourmet food with white tablecloths and snappy waitstaff. It's a friendly neighborhood restaurant with tasty food and low (for Norway) prices. Strongly recommended.

While this happened to me, I did try everything, and I cleaned every plate! The food was so good! The wines were all paired perfectly (I did not like the wine served with dessert but that's a me thing, I don't care of the bubbles). The king fish, served in brown butter and soy was amazing. The monk fish in a lobster bisque...wow. Lamb was amazing as was the light dessert that had rhubarb, white chocolate and the delicious foam made from yogurt and cheese. Sometimes you got to just say f**k it and trust the chef. I'm glad I did.

The ordering experience was easy, made even easier by the allergens listed clearly on the menu (milk, egg, fish, sulfites, wheat, celery, mustard, barley, lactose, nuts). I can't eat gluten & was delighted when I saw how well everything was marked. Norway beats the US in every way when it comes to allergy awareness. Our favorite dish was the cod from Midsund - the cauliflower puree was incredible. My only critique was how close the tables were to each other. We were seated at a 2-top against a half wall which separated the restaurant. There was a couple seated at another 2-top directly on the other side of the half wall. I was within arms length of them. It felt like we were sitting at the same table, which was very uncomfortable. I don't mind sitting close to other patrons in a casual, bustling restaurant, but this was a intimate, high-end dinner spot. We felt like we had no privacy in our own conversation. Other than that, we enjoyed our experience. It was extra nice to be able to get back to our hotel room without even going outside.

Hubby ordered the Norway Tapas plate, which included brown toasted bread, dried cod fish fried balls, marinated crawfish, salad, sausage, and garlic mayo. The cod fish balls were amazing, and reminded me of croquettes from Spain. Hubby liked everything, but the sausage was just okay. I had the fish soup. The bowl is HUGE! And it is delicious! It's creamy, and contained large chunks of cod fish, crawfish, and carrot slices. For dessert, we shared the apple cake with ice cream, whipped cream, and caramel sauce. We liked the cake, but honestly we were a little let down, because that afternoon, we sampled the apple cake in the cafe of the Ålesund Aquarium. Surprisingly, the apple cake at the aquarium was way better, as the cake was a nice pound cake with lots of layered apples on top and in the cake. The apple cake at a Lyspunktet is lighter and doesn't contain that much apple. Overall though, great meal at Lyspunktet, highly recommend!
