Matbaren Bistro By Renaa - Stavanger

A spin-off concept by RENAA No. 1 and worth a visit if you can't get a table there or just look for a more relaxed experience. Food is great, no doubt! Based on a somewhat confused mix of French, Italian and local inspiration and ingredients. I had them my way to Eicherot Burgundy Pinot Noir to a better rated (maybe with a 50% profit margin instead of 80%! but they did it without complaining, as I felt they were not too proud of it... Great experience in all, but with a slight feeling it is a cash cow to feed its larger siblings RENAA No. 1

One of the nicest places to dine in when in Stavanger. Prices could be a bit lower but overall you get what you pay for.

Amazing team that elevates the already high quality produce that can be found locally. Particularly like the relaxed and casual environment and great service. Had a seat at facing the kitchen and really enjoyed watching the team prepare everything with joy and great attention to detail. Had the bone marrow to start, Turbot for mains and duck fat potatoes and all of them were home runs.

Great food great bread. Ceaser salad was over dressed, bread was amazing, steak was nothing special but good. Couldn't taste the truffle butter, overall a good experience.

So many great photos on here, but the menu has been changed a few weeks ago at the time of writing, so you can't order them anymore. Service is very professional, the spoken English is probably better than in the UK, the environment is very nice with a relaxed atmosphere. The food is good too... my burger was nice and meaty, the spring cabbage dish was tasty and imaginative. The only thing is that the non alcoholic elderflower wine was like normal elderflower cordial tonic water, so just a bit ordinary, but that's only a minor quibble
