Pescatarians paradise with many vegan options - Edit
Tilstede serves fish dishes, vegetarian and vegan food and uses organic ingredients. Friendly personell and great food. We had the daily earth (vegan) dish, a Mexican stew, and their bean burger. Their fresh ginger tea was lovely, but not vegan due to the honey. All dessert are raw, vegan and very tasty.

Fantastic milk shakes! - Edit
Excellent 80% vegan menu, fish might not be the most intelligent but aren't vegetables (to paraphrase someone or other).
Read morePros: The Soup!, The Kofta burger!
Cons: Fish dishes, pescatarians confuse people!

Good food but expensive and limited selection. - Edit
The lentil soup tasted honestly amazing. Had many layers to the taste. But the price and the selection leaves much to be desired. View is great though

Tasty but pricy - Edit
Had the very delicious falafel burger with potatoes. Also the rhubarb juice and some ginger beer. Everything was nice but (as expected for Norway) kinda pricy - around 20€ for the burger with only a few potatoes. But according the few vegan options in town definitely a recommendation.

Delicious milkshake - Edit
I had the vegan quesadilla and a chocolate mint milkshake. It tasted like After eight chocolates. Afterwards I tried the cheesecake and orange cake which were also very good.

Amazing dish - Edit
[EN] It was the only place in Kristiansand where you could try vegan version of Christmas dish. I ordered Juletallerken (like nutty Wellington with potatoes and salad), which was a masterpiece. The combination of sweet cabbage with nutty roast and sauce was perfect. I tried also raspberry cake and snickers cake which were delicious.
Read moreDespite the fact that the spot is located in the city center, I had a problem finding it. This place is definitely worth to visit. It's very cozy there and staff is kind. In addition, they have a discount for students.
[PL] Było to jedyne miejsce w Kristiansandzie, gdzie można było spróbować wegańskie danie świąteczne. Zamówiłam Juletallerken (coś w stylu orzechowej pieczeni z ziemniakami i sałatką), która była doskonała. Połączenie słodkiej kapusty z orzechową pieczenią i sosem było idealne. Spróbowałam również ciasta malinowego oraz snickers, były przepyszne.
Pomimo tego, że lokal jest w centrum miasta, to miałam problem ze znalezieniem go.
Mimo wszystko, warto odwiedzić to miejsce, które jest przytulne, a obsługa miła. W dodatku, mają zniżkę dla studentów.
Pros: Delicious dishes and cakes, Cozy spot, Kind staff
Cons: It's a little bit hard to find this spot

Amazing vegan options - Edit
I had a long lunch here with a friend. I ordered the vegan quesadilla and a wake-me-up milkshake. Since this was so good I also got myself a cake and the Golden Milk. These were awesome too and everything was, of course, vegan. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They have a beautiful rooftop terrace with a great atmosphere. A hidden vegan gem!

Great quesedilla - Edit
We had shakes and quesedillas, both were great. We had the vegan cheese supplement and I both did not notice it very much. As everything is expensive in Norway I would skip it next time, I expect it would be just as good and save your additional 25NKR.

Delicious vegan food - Edit
I went there because I really wanted to try the vegan quesadilla. And it was worth it. It tasted delicious and I felt very satisfyed! For dessert they have different kind of cakes. I tried the one with peanuts, chocolate and caraml. Very sweet and not easy to eat because of the caramel😄But also very tasty. The staff is very friendly and I felt welcome in there. Sadly it's very expensive but I think they have normal prices for Norway.

Amazing 3 Course Vegan Menu - Edit
Lovely place in the center of Kristiansand with super friendly staff and wonderful food! We had the 3 course vegan menu - and the starters and dessert were vegan for the fish menu as well as for the vegan one. It was a lot and really tasty! If you are looking for a good place to eat I can definitely recommend this one! And although it might sound more than a fish restaurant with vegan options this is much more than that! Worth a try!!!!
