“i didn t like fish soup but now....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2012

i do. and it s because in this restaurant they cook it so good! the environment is curious, you get immersed in early 1900s late 1800s easily, confortable, good food and good service. Careful if you are not used to Norwegian prices More

“High class burger!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2012

Need a place to go for a lunch? If the weather allows it get a place up on the terrace and you'll have a stunning view out over the parliament and the park! They have set up a BBQ and will prepare your food right in front of you while you wait! More

“Grandiose in style, relaxed in atmosphere”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2012

Tired of 'paying through the nose' for dinners in Norway we tried this restaurant, even though it looked very 'posh' from the outside and we were in casual clothing. A warm welcome inside, quite busy with plenty of locals chattering away. Good menu with some unusual things (I dare you to try the whale steak) and not too expensive for... More

“What a nice surprise!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 March 2012

We came to this restaurant a bit by chance because it was listed in the Oslo Pass catalog and it was close to our hotel. What a great surprise we had! A very nice atmosphere (both chic and relaxed), a friendly and helpful staff, and good, tasty, refined food (the chocolate mousse was to die for). When we finished our... More

I loved this place, so different, I don't think everyone likes such style but its worth visiting. I'm not going to spoil it with description but memories from the Christiania period is a tip. The food is good and service nice. In a very expensive town then this seem to be medium priced place. More
