Having such a wonderful dinner here! I went for the 4-course tasting menu, and it really had the perfect summer vibe. My favourite was the raw halibut – light, refreshing, and beautifully layered with just the right touch of bitterness from the herbs. The dessert was also lovely: the almond cream balanced the tartness of the berries and left us with a refreshing, light finish to the meal. The squash was absolutely amazing too, though I wasn’t as keen on the sauce. Overall, I’m really satisfied with this meal 💛

This was our last meal in Oslo. The restaurant was very nice. It was during the Easter holiday and this is one of the only restaurants opened so we felt very grateful. The food was wonderful and apparently the wine selection is quite extensive in general. A very, very nice experience would recommend.

This restaurant feels like it is 4.5/5. The food is interesting, but not every meal is stellar. I have been to many fine dining restaurants and it feels slightly below others I visited. Service was good, but not outstanding. The vibe in the restaurant was positive. Worthy of a one time visit, but I wouldn’t return back again

Our best meal in Oslo! Had the halibut, squash, pasta, and pork. Everything was so delicious. The wait staff were kind and attentive. Highly recommend! Great value as well.

Salty!!! As a non-Scandie, I appreciate that Scandinavians like 'well salted' however... We opted for the tasting, not quite sure what the other options were, and watched as well presented dishes were put in front of us. Full marks for presentation, however nothing wow and everything 'salty'! We commented to our server who basically said 'yes of course we like our food salty'. Apart from the obvious health issues, this did not enhance our dining experience! Billed as 'fine dining' the ambiance and general feeling of the restaurant was more 'bistro'. Even taking in to consideration the 'Norwegian' factor, this was a bit pricey for what it actually was (I think). Popular but not really for us.
