I recently had the pleasure of dining at a refined establishment that left a lasting impression on my palate. The ambiance was elegant and understated, with tasteful decor and attentive service that complemented the experience.
The cuisine was notable for its exquisite taste, with a menu that emphasized hearty meals that were cooked to perfection. The mushroom consomme, in particular, was a standout dish, with a rich and savory broth that was delicately balanced with the subtle flavors of the mushrooms.
The flank steak, likewise, was cooked with a finesse that spoke to the chef's attention to detail. The cuts were tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection, with a depth of flavor that was matched only by the accompanying sides, which were executed with equal skill.
I must also commend the french toast, which was generously soaked in rum and cooked to a golden brown. It was a decadent treat that provided a satisfying conclusion to the meal.
Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with this establishment's commitment to providing a refined dining experience. The menu was carefully curated, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was a perfect balance of sophistication and warmth. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable...
Read moreStrange service, horrible food Stay away from this place! We were surrounded by a lot of waiters, but they all were whimsing around completely incapable of doing what they were supposed to do. They came back and forth one after one to do what the last one had already done. Even though the waiters seemed unprofessional, we wanted to give the food a chance and decided to stay. We were four people, two of us ordered the "fish of the day", which was apperently 3 different fishes. Was then served a completly different fish then what we were told, (salmon, that none of us eat). When we complained the waiter just blamed someone else and did nothing to compensate. I had the fish soup (also with fish of the day) and it was so extremely sweet and salty I could not eat more than a few spoons even though I was really hungry. The last one in our company ordered the meatballs. They were grey and did not taste good either. She could not even finish one of them. All in all it was a very unpleasant and expensive visit, and we all left just as hungry as we came. We ended up going to a different restaurant later to get some real food. Do not waste...
Read moreWe’d stayed at Hotel Hafen a few times before and always loved their breakfast, so trying the restaurant felt long overdue. We got lucky with a quiet table by the window, looking out over the fjord, the kind of view that slows you down without asking. The dining room had that calm, steady rhythm that only comes from a place confident in what it does. Dinner was a flank steak with asparagus, broccoli, and a small cube of roasted potato, all arranged like someone actually cared. The meat was tender in that melt-under-your-fork way, though I found myself wishing for a little more of that smoky edge. Still, it was one of those meals that stays with you for its atmosphere more than its boldness. The selection of rum was surprisingly wide, a quiet nod to whoever curates their bar with such precision. It felt like a place that knows its strengths and doesn’t rush...
