About Restaurant Hav at Molde Fjordhotell
Restaurant Hav at Molde Fjordhotell is a dinner option in Molde with a direct planning profile: evening hours, a smart-casual dress code, Star Wine List 2026 recognition. Information on cuisine type, chef details, menu format, prices, or signature dishes is not available, so it is best considered as a general dinner option rather than a specialist destination.
The practical read is simple: consider it when its details match the evening you want. Service is from 6–10 PM Monday through Saturday, with Sunday closed, making it a dinner-only choice given its hours. Star Wine List 2026 is its recognition, but details on wine-list size, bottle focus, pairing format, or drinks program are not specified.
Choose it for a smart-casual dinner in Molde
Its setup points to an evening restaurant with a smart-casual dress code. That makes it useful for diners who want a planned dinner in Molde and prefer to avoid guessing about basic logistics. It should not be presented as a tasting-menu venue, a specific cuisine restaurant, or a chef-led destination unless those details are specified elsewhere.
Food decisions need a little discipline. Without a specified cuisine type, named dishes, or chef details, the safer recommendation is to treat the kitchen as part of the overall dinner choice rather than the sole reason to plan around the restaurant. Check the current menu directly before booking if a specific style of cooking, dietary need, or price level matters.
Where it sits in a Molde shortlist
For a visitor comparing options, Køl Bar & Bistro is a natural name to consider separately when looking at another dining option. Restaurant Hav at Molde Fjordhotell is the better fit only if its Molde location, dinner hours, smart-casual dress, Star Wine List 2026 recognition match the plan. Use a broader Molde restaurants guide if the priority is choosing between dinner options, a Molde bars guide if the plan is built around drinks.
The strongest argument here is practical clarity. It supports an evening booking from Monday to Saturday, not lunch, late-night dining, take-out, delivery, outdoor seating, or a specific menu format. For wider trip planning, broader Molde hotel and experience research can help place the meal in context without asking this single restaurant to carry the whole itinerary.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Restaurant Hav reads like a quietly curated hotel dining room that lets the landscape do the decorating. The fjord is literally the room’s focal point — windows and sightlines pull attention to Moldefjorden so the interior stays restrained and purposeful. The other focal point is the cellar: a serious, intentionally built wine program that earned a Star Wine List distinction, and that cellar-forward sensibility gives the space a measured, intimate energy. Overall Hav feels refined without theatricality: scenic and composed, with the water and the bottles providing atmosphere rather than heavy-handed design.
Best For
Hav is best for diners who come for a thoughtful wine-and-food experience. The restaurant’s Star Wine List status and cellar-focused approach make it a natural stop for people interested in curated lists and well-matched pairings, and its hotel location suits travelers and locals looking for an elevated evening meal. It fits date nights and special occasions but also appeals to anyone who wants a composed, wine-centered dinner with a fjord view — a setting that rewards time at the table rather than rushed service.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the wine program: the description emphasizes a deliberately curated cellar and the influence of trained sommeliers, so ask the staff for guidance rather than defaulting to the familiar. Let the team recommend pairings that respond to the kitchen’s priorities; the copy stresses that the kitchen and cellar share editorial weight, which suggests thoughtfully composed matches. If you’re visiting specifically for the wine list, mention that you’re interested in discovery — the award signals depth and intentionality rather than an off-the-shelf selection.

Bar context
How it compares in and around Molde

Against out-of-metro options, Vino Bar Ålesund is the more drinks-focused alternative, while Palm Room, Rive Gauche, Britannia Bar make more sense if the trip can absorb extra travel and the evening is centered on bar atmosphere.
