Haugesund's waterfront promenade, Smedasundet, is almost entirely given over to restaur-
ants, giving the area an agreeable hum whenever the weather's warm. Any Haugesund res-
taurant worth its salt morphs into a bar as the night wears on.

There aren't many reasons to drag yourself away from the wa-
terfront, but this oh-so-cool restaurant and wine bar is one of them. It serves tapas and
dishes such as mussels steamed in white wine with focaccia.
