Rekekafeen - Halden

Sit in the harbour under a white tent. only seafood available and that was excellent. English menu available. I really recommend it.

Informal, large view over the harbour, varied menu with Prawn plate, catch of the day, Bryggas table soup, mustels, etc.

Was there last summer. Dry loft. Shrimp that were not fresh in size 120 that came from the freezer. The menu included fresh shrimp. 30 small prawns and a lot of salad for NOK 300. Inattentive operation. We took the dessert somewhere else Ruined our whole celebration. We will not come again.

Third visit to the Rekekafeen. This visit was a hit. Good service and delicious prawns on the day that Halden saw record breaking temperatures. I particularly liked the smoked prawns...we all had a mix of regular and smoked and the mayonnaise accompaniment with red roe/caviar and red onion was tasty. Only criticism is that the white bread had obviously been cut too early and was already a bit stale.

Loved to sit in this somewhat hidden loacation and watch the harbour while eating prawns and a nice glass of good drinking. You get this typical feeling you have when visiting seacoast harbours eating fresh seafood so typical of for instance west coast Sweden. You will defintly like it and it's placed in a charming area of the town with traditional seacoast housing and small narrrow streets. Not really cheap, but that's Norway in a nutshell.
