They do run out of certain dishes so if you come late, best to ask. They did run our of whale carpaccio and the reindeer pizza. 1. Dirty Fries - Good crunchy on top with gooey cheese and not too salty. Comes with a glazed bacon as well. 2. Pizza with Norwegian proscuitto - Thick crust. Right amount of red sauce. Good taste. 3. Meatballs - Delicious and star of the night. The gravy was very good that came with it. Overall a solid place to try if you're in Oslo and want something different.

We visited the restaurant with 4 adults and 2 children. Before ordering, we specifically asked…read moreabout children's portions and were told that some dishes could also be ordered as half portions for kids. Shortly afterwards, the waiter came back and recommended that we simply order the "Schrøder panne" for two people and let the children share from it. Following his recommendation, we ordered two "Schrøder panne" dishes and two additional main courses. When the bill arrived, we were shocked to discover that we had been charged for 4 full "Schrøder panne" dishes plus the two additional main courses. In total, we ended up paying more than €350 for 4 adults and 2 children. Absolutely unacceptable and extremely disappointing treatment of guests. When we questioned the bill, we were only told in English that four adults had eaten from the platters. That may technically have been their interpretation, but it was completely different from the recommendation we had originally received. We honestly felt trapped into paying far more than expected. Vi ønsket å spise der med 4 voksne og 2 barn. Før vi bestilte, spurte vi spesielt om barneporsjoner, og fikk beskjed om at enkelte retter også kunne fås som halve porsjoner for barn. Litt senere kom servitøren tilbake og anbefalte at vi heller bestilte "Schrøder panne" for to personer, slik at barna kunne spise sammen med oss. Vi fulgte anbefalingen og bestilte to "Schrøder panne" samt to andre hovedretter. Da regningen kom, oppdaget vi til vår overraskelse at vi hadde blitt belastet for 4 fulle "Schrøder panne" i tillegg til de to hovedrettene. Til slutt betalte vi over 350 euro for 4 voksne og 2 barn. Dette opplevdes som helt urimelig og svært skuffende behandling av gjester. Da vi spurte om regningen, fikk vi bare forklart på engelsk at fire voksne hadde spist fra platene. Det kan kanskje være deres tekniske forklaring, men det stemte overhodet ikke med anbefalingen vi fikk på forhånd. Vi satt igjen med følelsen av å ha blitt lurt inn i en mye dyrere regning enn forventet.

Originally built by the nazi occupants during the second world war, this barrack used to be the officer quarters of the Kriegsmarine encampment on the island.

The restaurant/café serves drinks, larger courses, snacks, desserts and icecream. It is clean and well run, though allow some waiting time on busy sunny days. Both an inside and outside seating area.
