What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Restaurant SÖL is lauded for its exceptional tasting menu, innovative Nordic cuisine, and focus on fresh, local ingredients, particularly vegetables. Diners praise the explosion of flavors, attentive and friendly staff, and impressive natural wine list. While generally considered good value for Norway, some found the atmosphere to be a bit too simple for a romantic evening.
"This was by far the best tasting menu in Stavanger. We were lucky to get a table, so book in advance. The staff were amazing and talked us through each delicious course. Superb atmosphere, nice lighting and all in all a wonderful experience. Highly recommended."

"Fantastic experience. The food was amazing, such an explosion of flavours, textures and colours. Everything was thought through and curated. The staff is very kind, attentive and knowledgeable. Very nice and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend!"
Paola Vesco
"This place is a gem! From the decoration, the excellent service, to the quality of the food… the full thing.
It is super relaxed, despite the open kitchen concept. Everybody is very friendly and stop to talk to you and happily explain things.
The food was amazing, even annoyingly good! We have a piece of cod that was cooked to perfection and with an amazing mussel-hollandaise. We also have a great piece of chicken, super moist and full of flavor.
The wine list is also impressive, a rather large variety of natural wines from all over the world.
Pricewise, it is Norway!, it is not cheap but I think it is a good deal given the local prices.
I would definitely be going back a few times and I could only recommend. We were a party of four and everyone was very impressed."

Disse spisestedene i Stavanger må du oppleve!
Hos den kritikerroste Restaurant SÖL slipper du å undre deg over hva du skal velge fra menyen. Her får man egentlig kun ett valg og det er dagens seksrettersmeny, som vil variere utifra hvilke råvarer som er tilgjengelig. Det er grønnsakene som spiller de sentrale rollene gjennom det meste av menyen, og SÖL legger seg dermed tett opp til den nye nordiske bølgen, med Michelin-restauranten Noma i spissen.

How to Spend A Long Weekend in Stavanger
A local veggie/fish farm to table, organic (all wines are organic/*naked), set menu with 5-7 courses. The best food we’d eaten all year. Great staff who all cook/serve/explain the dishes.
The heart of the internet
Restaurant SOL: It's a fancy place, they do a preset menu with 8 courses. Nice for a special birthday but it's a one and done for me given the price point.
