Asker Restaurants

Not a restaurant, but a pan-Asian grocery located in Sandvika. If you live in Asker or visit Asker for prolonged holidays (or a picnic in one of the nice coves here), you can stop by Sandvika - by car, bus or train - and do your Asian grocieries and other food items and necessities shopping here at EUR ASIA International Food.
Open: Mon-Fri 9-19, Sat 9-18, Sun 12-18.

These are all eateries located in the Trekanten shopping centre:
Cafe Opus (separate tip) Tel: 66760485
Haveli Tandoori (separate tip) 66784200
Intermezzo (separate tip) 66795760
Haveli Kaffebar 66900728
Kulinaris 48030527
Lille Trille (separate tip) 48154321
Petit Chocolaterie 98236925

Haveli will probably object to being ticked off as Indian restaurant (VT categories...). They proudly advertise themselves as Haveli Pakistani Tandoori Restaurant. With a sizeable Pakistani local population also frequenting Haveli, the food got to be good.
Given that apart from Nagina's over in Sandvika it's also the only South-Asian (diplomacy employed here...) food restaurant in Asker, there is little other choice...
Outdoor serving also.
Open Mon-Sat 15-23, Sun 14-22.

Favorite Dish: Tandooris here are good.

Hvalstrand Bad is an old built-up sea bathing place with diving towers, piers and a restaurant in the 30-ies "Funkis" style. I personally do not care too much for the cubicle right-angles-style, but the setting is fine and the restaurant does have atmosphere.

Favorite Dish: Special menu "3-meter'n" (the "3-meter dive").
Expensive at NOK 395.
Try other maritime dishes, too if your wallet fails to meet the obligations of the 3-meter'n or if your intention is to swim, not to sink. Freshly steamed shrimps are always good, seved with fresh bread, lemon and mayonnese.

Strictly speaking not in Asker, it's across the border in Bærum municipality, but the municipalities enjoy extensive cooperation and let me propose to extend this to eateries, too....
Nagina's is located in an obscure place near the river (that turns and twists in Sandvika) so it's a bit hard to find at the first go. If you find it you will come again, though.
Close to the railway station; you can get off the train, go and eat, and then jump on the next train in the best interrail style.

Favorite Dish: Kormas and tandooris are my favourites here - they do them real well. My companions who go for the curries will go for curries again, too.
Good portions and quality for a fair price.

Lunches for NOK 69,-
Dinners from NOK 139
Take-home at 10% off.

Happy globalism and delights are slowly creeping into Asker, the Thai food slowly entering over the Asker border at Nesbru...
They do take away orders, too.

Open Mon-Sat 11-21
Sun 14-21

Favorite Dish: Spicy fish soups and stir-fried sea food of most sorts always a first choice.

Gledens Druer offers space and drinks and snacks to go with the drinks at Asker Cultural Centre (Asker Kulturhus).
Nice to sit down after the movies/theatre/ concert or visit to the library and have a chat with freinds and contemplating what you've seen and heard over some good drinks.
Opening hours: Mon-Wed: 08-22, Thu-Sat: 08-24, Sun: 12-24.

Favorite Dish: Good selection of wines.

We thought smultringer were ok until travellers returning from the USA told us they were boring and tried adding sugar, chockolate and what not on them. Then they suddenly became donuts. Do-Nuts sounds like "toilet-nuts" in the Norwegian. Visually, too, you know whith the hole in the centre?
No, don't mess with our smultringer!
Despite my harangue, LilleTrille goes all the way in providing this unfamilar stuff.

Favorite Dish: I'll stick to smultringer!
They'd be stripped-down donuts, just bare bones so to speak.
But they are good here, too.
They bake all day, so you will get them fresh and hot if you like.
Price: 28 pcs for NOK 175.
For 30 or more, the price is NOK 6 per piece.
