Restaurants are closing!

It has been a challenging period for restaurants in Stavanger. With a decline in the oil price there has also been a decline in people going out to eat in Stavanger and that has influenced a lot of places. These are some of the places that have gone out of business or have chosen to close down in the last couple of years:

- Nero
- Cafe de France
- Mama Afrika
- Straen
- Timbuktu
- Le Café Francais
- Mathallen
- Kita (closing down December 22nd 2016)

But it is also good to see that new places are popping up: Basil & Co, Bar Social Eating, Mondo, The Shack, Villa 22, 26 North etc.

Excellent lunch at Mondo (Restaurant is permanently closed)

Note that this restaurant is permanently closed!

We went to Mondo for lunch on a Tuesday and the place was pretty much empty. The menu is limited but there are good meat and fish options. I decided to have a duck confit and I was impressed by that. The portion was just right with the duck confit on top of a puree of potato and it was served with red cabbage stew and fried onions.


I also decided to have a dessert as it was warm bread pudding served with ice. The warm pudding was served in a hot rock bowl by Odd Standard together with rum raisin ice cream and chocolate and caramel. All in all a very good meal in a beautiful and stylish restaurant Read more about Mondo on their homepage!
