Travel to Mexico at Mønsj Street Food

We are committed to cook simple, authentic food that most of us enjoy -Kristoffer Halvorsen.
From food truck to restaurant, Mønsj Street Food is located at street Storgata in the centre of Sandefjord. Perfect when heading back to the hotel after an evening at one of Sandefjord’s bars. Here you can enjoy great, spicy Mexican street food made from scratch. Note that all the tempting main courses also are available as vegetarian versions. We like it!
I am passionate about food - Mexican food - and have for long had a dream of setting up my own food truck. I bought a small food truck and had it as a hobby project in parallel to my daily work as a sales representative. The response was amazing, and we had an incredible number of bookings. The demand was that big I had to employ people and even purchase another food truck!

This pleasant restaurant is located on the street Dronningens gate, only five minutes from elegant Clarion Collection® Hotel Atlantic. At Restaurant D4 you find small Spanish dishes, better known as tapas. And the Norwegians love tapas! But what we love the most about D4, are the affordable prices.
The menu consists of a selection of delicious and playfully created small dishes from only NOK 295 per person. We are talking about tapas classics such as patatas bravas, albondigas and pimientos del padron. Beat that if you can!

There’s no place like home – Nordic and local at Kokeriet
- Cuisine: Nordic/European
- Suitable for: groups/After Work/romantic dinners
- Price range: high
Right next to Groovy Diner, further out on the pier, you’ll find the elegant Kokeriet. The restaurant is inspired by Sandefjord’s important whaling industry and a visit can preferably be combined with a tour of former whaling boat MS Southern Actor, which today is a museum. Here you can indulge in the most delicious dishes made from Norwegian ingredients, a separate bar with refreshing drinks and not least a large outdoor area with amazing views.
It wouldn’t be right to leave Sandefjord without tasting the local specialities, which – not surprising – is whale. At Kokeriet you can try whale from sustainable fishing with the best seasonal side dishes. Perhaps not the most politically correct dinner, but who are we to judge?
Psst! Kokeriet is very popular during peak season, so make sure to call ahead and book a table.
