In recent years, the selection of restaurants and nightlife in Risør has become so good that one can almost allow oneself to call Risør the world's smallest metropolis.
The town's eateries offer everything from fantastic pizzas, burgers, fish soups, Danish sandwiches, Chinese dishes, sushi (seasonal) to ala carte menus featuring world-class ingredients.
Our fantastic year-round fish market contributes to many of our residents using the phrase 'shellfish Friday' as much a given as others use 'taco Friday'. If you haven't tasted winter shrimp, you haven't really tasted shrimp.

Stangholmen
Local food for us is of course what the sea has to offer. Thanks to local fishermen and Risørs Fiskemottak who help us to get the freshest and best ingredients, our chefs have the best starting point for our guests. From the restaurant, we especially recommend "Stangholmen Bouillabaisse" with fruits of the sea served in an iron pot with baguettes and garlic butter. We also recommend our smoked salmon "Stangholmens spekelaks" which is served with boiled potatoes.
