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!

You don't necessarily expect to find a tapas bar in a rather isolated Norwegian town like Ålesund…read more However, it started to become clear to Jamie W. and me that Ålesund is quite a tourist hub during high season. There were sushi bars so why not tapas? We decided to stop by without a reservation, so the hostess had us sit in the open lounge area which turned out to be a relaxing spot even as the restaurant started to fill up. Naturally we ordered the 550 NOK pitcher of Sangria de Malaga without a moment's thought (photo: https://bit.ly/3Qn17rL). It translated into an astounding $56 in US dollars, about half the price of the entire meal. But what the hell...welcome to Norway as it provided a refreshing start to our meal with no regrets. The food came at a reasonable pace beginning with the 59 NOK ($6) Spanish Olives (photo: https://bit.ly/3BKpYBa) and the 49 NOK ($5) Bread & Aioli (photo: https://bit.ly/3Qb2mtY) - both sidling us into a savory Spanish state of mind with ease. It was also a given that we'd get the 92 NOK ($9.40) Patatas Bravas because who doesn't like fried potatoes, especially when they're tossed with fish and egg and drizzled with a spicy aioli? (photo: https://bit.ly/3P0JJHL) We were in the mood for wings, so we ordered the 159 NOK ($16.20) Fried Chicken in Chili Butter Sauce and devoured them in quick order (photo: https://bit.ly/3QIRB1V). We were intrigued by the 75 NOK ($7.65) Baked Celeriac, Shrimp and Salsa Verde and found it to be a comforting veggie side dish (photo: https://bit.ly/3vLqECi). Along the same lines, we also ordered the 99 NOK ($10) Summer Cabbage with Grilled Spring Onion Pesto which provided a nice crunch and saltiness (photo: https://bit.ly/3A49sdT). We didn't make room for dessert which looked to include cheesecake and sorbets. The six plates plus the exorbitant sangria amounted to 1,083 NOK or about $111 in US dollars, a relatively fair price by Nordic standards. We both thought Bryt did a solid job translating dishes so clearly associated with Spain that the place could've been on the Ramblas...minus the $56 sangria. FOOD - 4 stars...pretty solid quality tapas and refreshing sangria...pricing was painful AMBIANCE - 4 stars...the right warm vibe for a Spanish theme SERVICE - 3.5 stars...pretty good considering staff had to take on multiple roles....tough times TOTAL - 4 stars...tapas are a nice treat even outside of Barcelona RELATED - Exploring Norway?
