Simple buffet spot, mostly locals which is always a good sign. Dessert table had way more options than I expected. Parking right across the road made it easy.

Stopped by for a coffee and a sandwich. Coffee was solid, sandwich fresh. Prices are okay for being right by the harbor. Nice view while you eat. Good place to just sit for a bit.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Got the fish soup. Really well seasoned, you can tell they don&#39;t rush things. Salads looked fresh too. Place was busy but food came out fast enough. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area and want something decent without a long wait.

The pizza buffet at 130 NOK is a good deal for students. Salad bar&#39;s included, which I appreciate. Pizza was decent, though they struggled to keep up during the rush.

The fish soup here is genuinely good. I brought a friend visiting from Switzerland and she hasn&#39;t stopped mentioning it since. Burgers were decent too. Staff were friendly without hovering. Place gets a bit busy around 7 but we got seated fine. Wish the soup came in a bigger portion though.

Stopped by for a coffee and a cinnamon bun. Pastry was decent, not too sweet, which I liked. Place has that old-school bakery feel, pretty calm for being in the center. Service was fine, no rush. Probably a good spot if you want a quiet break.

The wholegrain bread was the highlight for me. You can tell it&rsquo;s made fresh, not the usual store-bought stuff. I had a light lunch plate with some of their small items, and the ingredients just felt clean and simple. Place was a mix of locals and tourists, which gave it a nice buzz. Maybe a bit busy at noon, but fine.

The grilled fish was spot on, really fresh and nicely spiced. Cozy spot, staff knew their stuff and even shared a bit of history about the place.

Came here with a couple of friends after a walk along the harbor. The klipfish and mussels were the highlight &mdash; really flavorful, didn&rsquo;t expect that. Carpaccio was kinda plain and the halibut came out a bit dry, which was a shame. View was lovely though, and service was fine. Just felt a little pricey for what you get. Nice spot for a casual catch-up, but I wouldn&rsquo;t go out of my way for the food. 😊

Stopped by for a late lunch. The Brazilian cheese bread starter was decent, got the burger afterwards. Pretty good, juicy enough. Service was quick, no complaints there. Place has a relaxed feel to it. Maybe a bit warm inside, but fine overall.

The fish soup was proper comfort food, creamy and packed with flavour. Tried the clipfish too, really hearty portion. Cozy spot, felt like a proper Norwegian place. Prices fair for what you get, which is rare around here. Service was friendly, no complaints. Would happily go back for that soup again.

Solid fish and chips spot in Kristiansund. Pollock was fresh, batter nice and light. Handy when most places are closed on Sunday.

Big portions and the food came out fast. Prices felt fair for what you get. Solid spot if you just want a quick meal without any fuss.

The sharing menu worked well for us. Got to taste several dishes without over-ordering, which I always appreciate. The staff were patient when we asked questions about the menu. Only small thing&mdash;the table felt a bit cramped with all the plates. But the food came out at a good pace, so it didn&#39;t bother me much. Comfortable enough for a casual dinner.

The Moscow Mule here is still the best I&rsquo;ve had in town. Cozy little spot, good wine too. Been back a few times now and it holds up.
