Delicious food in a delightful setting
The Restaurant at GamlaVærket
One of Sandnes’ true gems, the restaurant at GamlaVærket offers traditional Norwegian cuisine in a unique, historic setting—paired with warm, attentive service. In summer, relax at an outdoor table and soak up the sunshine. On cooler days, enjoy the warmth of our glass-enclosed seating with views of the street, or take in the atmosphere by the open kitchen. For a more intimate experience, dine by candlelight surrounded by centuries-old brick walls—perfect for a romantic evening.
Please call ahead for details or to let us know about any dietary requirements.

Enjoy the atmosphere
Emanuels Plass Café
Welcome to Emanuels Plass Café at GamlaVærket—perfectly located along charming Langgata. It’s the ideal spot to take a break from your stroll through Sandnes’ pedestrian streets and enjoy a light bite or a refreshing drink in a relaxed atmosphere.
When the sun is out, enjoy ice cream, milkshakes, and iced coffee at one of our outdoor tables. On colder days, there’s nothing cozier than settling in by the fireplace with a hot cup of coffee or cocoa.
At Emanuels Plass, you’ll also find a tempting selection of cakes, baked goods, toast, sandwiches, and more.
