Pedersgata in Stavanger
No other street in Stavanger links the past and the present together in such an exciting way as Pedersgata. What was once the city's working-class area has now become the city's leading foodie destination.
Until the 1980s, Pedersgata was the eastern district's leading shopping street, but the establishment of shopping centres outside the city gradually led to less activity. In the nineties, several premises were empty, and the houses fell into disrepair. Now this has changed, and from being "the city's backyard" Pedersgata has become the place you do not want to miss out on when you visit Stavanger.
Restored wooden houses and forty restaurantsWhether you are looking for an affordable meal or want to treat yourself to an unforgettable culinary pleasure at a MICHELIN Star restaurant, you will find it in Pedersgata. Everything is gathered in a cluster of carefully restored wooden houses creating an atmospheric setting around the meal.
Historical tours and food toursIf you want to know more about the street's exciting prehistory, GuideCompaniet organises tours through the old working-class districts. They also organise food walks, where you can try flavours from all corners of the world and hear the guide tell you small anecdotes from the old days in this exciting district.
