The culinary region

Three Michelin stars in Stavanger! Restaurants and ingredients in this part of Norway have received excellent reviews from both national food critics, as well as from the Michelin guide, where Stavanger became the first Norwegian city, except for the capital, to have this highly sought-after Michelin star in 2016. It was the restaurant RE-NAA that could boast this magic star, og another star followed the next year, to the highly praised restaurant, Sabi Omakase. Both restaurants maintained their star status in the next years to follow (2018, 2019). In 2020, RE-NAA proudly received two Michelin stars, a fantastic achievement for the entire family restaurant team. Sabi Omakase also maintained their star in 2020, leaving Stavanger with three stars in total. Additionally, Tango is awarded the plate and service level comfortable by Michelin. Do book ahead if you wish to challenge your taste buds at any one of these restaurants. There is also a wide selection of first class restaurants in the entire region, so you should never go hungry.
