A new article in our 3 x Soletraveller-series. This time we want to share our experience of three restaurants that we would love to visit again. For the food, atmosphere or the location.
Star of Greece, Adelaide (Australia)
The fish melted on my tongue. The barramundi tasted so nice and the vegetables as well. I looked at Joe. He was happy too. He had whiting on his plate. Our companions had chosen the wine, an Australian Riesling. Perfect.
The restaurant was unpretentious, with rustic furnishings and a touch of Greece. The location? My god, the location!
Before dinner I had found myself standing outside wondering if I should pinch my arm. The bright blue sea sloshing lightly against the powdery white beach below me… I could see the shadows in the water of the old ship wreck that is a popular snorkel spot. The sun was hot. No clouds in the sky. Star ofGreece – next time I will spend all day here!

Salamanca Restaurant, Dublin
- They give you loads of food here, the two American women told us, before we finally decided to go inside. As everything on the menu outside looked tempting, we were not difficult to persuade anyway.St. Andrew Street inDublin, a stone’s throw from Temple Bar, we walked in to Salamanca Restaurant. It was a wonderful break from the pub to pub crawl. Although we had several days filled with typical Irish food and drink both in the east and west behind us. There was now room for something else, and it was filled with paella, delicious potatoes with chorizo and full-bodied red wine. And the dessert – delicious fresh champagne sorbet. Outside the rain poured down. It did not matter. Inside it was such a cozy and warm atmosphere. We decided to stay here for a while.
Soho, Gothenburg
Everyone wanted to sit outside in the sun. So did we. But I still took a round inside. The interior here was certainly worth a look.
In Eastern Larmgatan in Gothenburg is the restaurant Soho. I had read about the place before I came to Gothenburg, but it was a coincidence that we ended up here. We were so tired after walking around half the city – and very hungry – and there it was, in front of us.
A lunch buffet and a glass of rosé wine to me. Champagne and Caesar salad for my friend, EIleen. I have the impression that the Swedes offer buffets more often than I see here in Norway. Soho’s buffet is certainly very busy and interesting, it was hard to decide what to eat before my stomach was full. And the dessert – I was full, but wish I’d had room for more. The Caesar salad came in a large portion as well, my friend was happy too.
