New burger joints keep popping up in Stavanger, and one of the latest additions is Oslo-based Digg Burger , which opened in Pedersgata in the summer of 2025. I stopped by on a dark November evening to see whether the burger lives up to the name. When I arrived, I was the only guest in the small space, which seats just 16 people and has a compact ordering counter. Orders are placed via a self-service terminal in front of the counter — quick and efficient. I do find it a bit od

We’ve truly indulged in some fantastic restaurant experiences in Stavanger over the past year – everything from no-frills burger joints to refined fine dining. Here are some of the dishes that really stuck with us in 2025. The list is in no particular order; it’s simply a collection of plates we keep reminiscing about. Langoustine at Hermetikken Pretty much everything coming out of the kitchen at Hermetikken is a joy, but the langoustine served in an intense, deeply flavored

Winemaker’s Dinners always come with a thrill, and when Wongraven Wines announced a visit to local Michelin listed restaurant Bellies , we were faster than a cork popping to secure a table. We’ve dined at Bellies before, so if you’re curious about a “regular” night there, you’ll find plenty in the archive — but this evening was anything but ordinary.

There’s something magical about a really good pizza. No matter how many times I try at home, I never quite nail that perfect crust or flavor. So when the craving hits, nothing beats heading out to a proper pizzeria — and in Stavanger, Panzanella is one of those places worth getting excited about. A few years ago, Panzanella Pizzeria opened in Stavanger, serving up fantastic pizzas — but only as takeaway. The flavors were spot-on, but the pizza never quite survived the trip h

If you’re on the hunt for an authentic ramen experience in Stavanger, let me point you straight to Kansui  on Pedersgata — a cozy little spot that’s all about doing ramen the right way. After a long Saturday morning walk, we found ourselves craving something comforting and savory. We stopped by Kansui for lunch, only to realize the doors were still closed. Thankfully, we were just a few minutes early — and honestly, it was worth the wait. Kansui opened in early 2024 and has k
