Hos Naboen — Restaurant in Kristiansand

I went to this place around a month ago while on vacation. Me and a friend of mine wanted to experience some good fish but many restaurants in the region either were closed, way to expensive or just had not the right things. Luckily we found Hos Naboen. The very friendly waiter greeted us and from the second he noticed, we are not Norwegian, spoke English with us (which although normal, is very polite) and brought the English menu, which I personally have not expected. We ordered the Fish and Chips and a grilled Salmon. We asked the waiter, which kinds of vegetables are served with the Salmon, as it unfortunately is not mentioned in the menu, at least in the English version. He quickly explained and asked it sounded delicious. We just waited a few minutes for the drinks, a Diet Pepsi and regular coke, which were quite expensive for my taste (59 Kr) but I guess it is completely normal in Norway so no complaints here. Only 10 minutes later, the food has been served, this time from a different waiter, who also could have been the chef, I don’t know. It looked absolutely delicious and tasted the same. The fish and chips were the best I have ever had and I already went to the UK, so I know how they are supposed to taste. The fries and the tartar sauce seemed to be home made, as well as the mushed pees and of course the Fish. Very crispy but still not dry at all. Just how it should be. The salmon also was quite good, the vegetables seemed to be fresh and the sauce also was very good. All in all we can recommend this place without a doubt. If it wouldn’t be for the distance (I live in Berlin, Germany) I would be there often for sure.

Tusen Takk dear Hos...

Loved it! Friendly, attentive staff, lovely atmosphere, fantastic food, and even live music if you time it right! Ask for the English menu if that helps. Joined for dinner with two others so I got a great view of the menu. Starters we had prosciutto wrapped asparagus, spring rolls and cauliflower soup. All fantastic, but the asparagus was the overall winner. Entrees were all so beautiful and delicious. We had salmon, venison, and steak which all came with beautifully roasted vegetables but different potatoes - either roasted baby potatoes, turnip potato mash or tator tots. Salmon was PERFECT, venison had such a lovely flavor and was tender enough to use a butter knife, just like the juicy steak! 5 stars,...

Nice restaurant with a great location. Food was a alright, but not much more than that. Services was fine and the waiter kept an eye on us the whole time. The meat on the club sandwich was dry and could have done with more taste. The Thai Nudles were good and the chicken pasta was also. The chocolate fountain was great but the cheese cake was disappointing, lacked taste and the crispy foundation was wet and saggy. Loved to see the chefs kids running around and engaging with their mom. Just a little more and my next review is four stars or more. My final comment, please fix the menu, they look...
