Stavanger has established a reputation for great food—and the city has the most bars and restaurants per capita in Norway. Many restaurant menus burst with impressive and elaborate international dishes. The city is home to the Gastronomic Institute and hosts many food and wine festivals every year, including the Gladmat Festival.
You wouldn't know it from the Scandinavian facade, but Harry Pepper combines Tex-Mex cuisine with Norwegian tastes. Prickly cacti and tacky souvenirs make for a lighthearted and fun interior. Try the traditional dishes with tequila pairing recommendations or opt for a shot or two at the lively Tequila Saloon. The bar is open late on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night.
