Very pretty restaurant. Very intimate settings. Excellent and attentive service. However the food lacks the finesse which would, in my opinion, make it a fantastic restaurant. I had the 5 course dinner menu. One or two dishes were fantastic, the Norwegian Languistine and maybe the fish soup. However the other dishes were average, the fish, trout i think, was very... More

Very nice restaurant, with excellent food and fine wines. Had a very pleasant evening with a few colleagues in the cellar. We had the 10-course menu with wines. Recommend that! We will return:)

You will get an excellent meal. That said I was a tad dissappointed, mainly because the stiff prices gave me equally high expectations. Quality and presentation was superb, but the taste was even, no "cresendo". One might argue that it was safe, though everything on each plate was thought through. We had the chef's menu & wine package, a full... More

Went for our wedding anniversary. Very proper and fancy, all the food is well prepared, and you get all the attention and service expected on this level. Still not quite worth the money in my opinion.

Statholdergaarden is rated as Oslo's top restaurant on Tripadvisor. It has maintained a Michelin star for 15 years. Chef Stiansen won Bocuse d'Or in 1993. Conclusion? The best restaurant in Oslo, non disputable. And finally, after celebrating our anniversary here last week, we can confirm this from personal experience! The service is friendly, professional and attentive. The decor is elegant... More

As a gift for my birthday, I was treated to a 5 course food and wine menu at the Statholdergaarden restaurant. It was a great evening, there is quite a luxury feeling to a visit here. The food was superb, the fish soup was the best I have ever tasted. The wine went very well (after my taste) with the... More

We've been to a lot of the best restaurants in Oslo, and this is one of the best. It serves traditional Michelin food, but isn't boring in any way. Great service, great wine and great food. We had the tasting menu-with the wine-menu (as we always do in the top restaurants), and I would really recomend it. Tip: if you... More

great location downtown Oslo, very comfortable, cozy, very welcoming stuff. We had a lunch there with a friend. Everything was exclusively tasty, well prepared and looked amazing. The choice of wine and menu cart will satisfy the most demanding customers. There was funny case, as I took Bent Stiansen cook book just to read when we were entering, it was... More
