Restaurant Hav

Restaurant Hav is a dinner-focused Molde restaurant with seafood-forward modern Norwegian and European cooking. The clearest reasons to consider it are the cuisine profile, the listed $75 per person price, smart casual dress code, a set of signature dishes that includes a five-course tasting menu, creamy fish soup, gratinated clipfish from Sigurd Folland, hummer bisque, a burger of dry-aged entrecote.

The decision is simple: choose it for a seafood-leaning dinner in Molde, especially if the five-course tasting menu or classic fish dishes are the draw. Skip it if the priority is lunch, because the hours are dinner only: Monday through Saturday from 6–10 PM, with Sunday closed.

Choose the tasting menu for a multi-course option

The five-course tasting menu is one of the signature dishes at Restaurant Hav, so it is a direct way to experience the restaurant’s seafood-forward modern Norwegian and European identity. Diners who prefer a single named dish can also look to the creamy fish soup, gratinated clipfish from Sigurd Folland, or hummer bisque.

Wine is also a relevant part of the booking case because Restaurant Hav holds a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence for 2026. Beyond that confirmed recognition, specific details about pairings, bar seating, or a separate drinks format should be checked directly with the restaurant before planning around them.

Order around the seafood identity. The named dishes attached to the restaurant include the five-course tasting menu, creamy fish soup, gratinated clipfish from Sigurd Folland, hummer bisque, a burger of dry-aged entrecote. The seafood choices are the sharper fit for the concept; the burger is useful for mixed preferences but not the main reason to come.

Plan for a smart casual dinner in Molde

Restaurant Hav’s dress code is smart casual, which makes it a practical choice for a planned dinner that should feel polished without requiring formal attire. The safest expectation is an approachable meal built around seafood-forward modern Norwegian and European cooking.

That balance is the venue’s practical advantage. Diners can use it for a dinner that feels considered without becoming overly formal. The $75 per person price point also makes the restaurant easier to position: it is not a quick casual stop, but it is a clear dinner choice for diners who want a more composed meal in Molde.

What makes the wine recognition worth noticing

The confirmed trust signal is clear: Restaurant Hav holds a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence for 2026. That makes wine a legitimate part of the restaurant’s appeal, while still keeping the focus on the dining facts: seafood-forward modern Norwegian and European cuisine, a $75 per person price point, dinner service six nights a week.

The strongest use case is a planned evening meal in Molde where seafood and wine both matter. For anything more specific, such as pairing formats, non-alcoholic options, bar access, or special service arrangements, check directly with the restaurant rather than assuming those details are available.
