Kristiansand Restaurants

  1. Bølgen & Moi

    The best restaurant around the fish market harbour, the super-cool Bølgen & Moi does a sublime fish and shellfish soup and a tasty range of fish and seafood dishes as well as set menus. In summer the outdoor tables are packed and it's a good place for a drink after the kitchen closes.

  2. Fish Market

    In summer the most atmospheric places to eat are in the small, remodelled harbour around the Fish Market where you'll find the freshest and best-value seafood.

  4. Måltid

    Part delicatessen, part restaurant and part wine bar, this outpost of casual sophistication is terrific. The tapas idea may come from Spain, but the food is Norwegian with so many tempting plates on offer and the waiters more than happy to help choose your tapas platter. For lunch, the pasta salad or sandwiches are good for a light meal.

  5. Rett i Garnet

    Not quite as classy as Bølgen & Moi but with good food, this place next to the fish market entrance is also all about fish and seafood, serving trout, mackerel, salmon and monkfish. It also does a terrific seafood platter (minimum two persons).

  8. Snadderkiosken

    We don't normally direct you to the fast-food kiosks that are everywhere in Norway, but Snadderkiosken is one of the best of its kind in Norway, near the town beach. It has an extensive and great-value menu, with things such as hearty meatballs and mashed potatoes or grilled chicken with rice and salad.
