Kalveragu was veal rage with potatoes and it was delicious and filling. The portion was just right. The Shrimp Sandwich was light enough for this early in the morning, but filling enough to last several hours. Mussel with harrissa was bursting with flavor! Bread was perfect with it. Bookstore is on the same, but other side, of the ground floor level. By the time we were done with our "breakfast", I love that they serve real meals for breakfast, the outdoor dining area has been set up and was hopping with locals catching up with friends... and their dogs too! The patio is full of flowers and shaded by trellises and umbrellas.

As is the custom in England, you find a table first and then place your order at the bar. There is a wide selection of beer including some non-alcoholic options. Be sure to remember your table number when you go to place your order at the bar. Your drinks are provided at the bar when you order and food is delivered to your table. I recommend asking for a tray to bring your drinks to your table. There is also a screen displaying train departure times in the seating area. Ordered the fish and chips, which comes with smashed peas, and a 7fyell ale. The fish was hot and tasty, with a light breading. The fish itself was firm and the accompanying tartar sauce was a good compliment to the fish. Personally, I could have used a little more tartar sauce but made do with the amount provided. The chips/fries were hot and crispy, and the server brought along a basket with ketchup, salt, pepper, malt vinegar, and utensils. The smashed peas were a real treat! Service was quick and friendly. A good, convenient stop while in the train station or staying nearby.

I admit, I missed the sign by the door that said "please wait to be seated" and I proceeded another 4 feet when I stopped and asked her if I should wait to be seated. I have never been chastised like this in a restaurant for a simple mistake like this. I should have turned and walked out after the way she scolded and chastised me for not reading the sign but I was in a bit of shock. Bacchus has been a staple for me when come to Oslo for work but as long as she is "greeting" guests, I'll take my money elsewhere.

My friend had the pulled pork sandwich. It was a very generous serving of such a delicious sandwich. The pork was lightly marinated and it was served on toasted bread. The coleslaw was also very well made. The atmosphere of the restaurant made me feel like I was transported back in time eating in a medieval building. The waiters were attentive and friendly.

It's really long and walking from one end to the other does take a couple of minutes. There is a very long bar in the center and lots of tables along the length of the bar. They also serve food but I did not try the food here. They have a huge list of craft beers and cocktails and will also make you something on request. The staff were nice and friendly albeit a bit slow. The atmosphere is really nice and it's warm and cozy in here. A nice place to stop for a drink while in town. You can also go and get some nibbles upstairs in the food market when open.

Well apart from it winning in the length, I really like this place. It has a cosy atmosphere with its dim lighting, wooden touches and long tables. I like that the bar is long and no queues are really formed. You can order food at the bar as well. Have not tried it but looked delicious. They have an interesting variety of beers and one can find a beer for each taste. However a good cocktail menu is not missing. I love all the little signs that are hanging all around with funny quotes like this one: "if you are not drunk by 2 am how will all your friends know that you love them!". Great place for a chill beer. Look for the program as well as they often have live music.

Colonel Mustard, named after the one who did it in the kitchen (kinky), is a cool little restaurant and bar near Alexander Kiellands plass bus stop. When you walk inside, you feel like you are among friends. The walls and the chairs give off a warm feeling, and the clientele is very relaxed. One confusing thing is that there is a variety of seating styles for such a small space - bar stools, bar tables, tables with booths, tables with chairs, tables with couches, long lunch tables, and so on. My friend asked me where I wanted us to sit, and I was overwhelmed by the choices. Service was quick and attentive without being obtrusive. My friend and I ordered the burgers, but I am still not used to the Oslo concept of throwing a ton of toppings on a burger and then eating it with a knife and fork. The server was patient with my need to first translate the toppings one by one, and then eliminate the ones I didn't want. The final product was juicy and tasty. Oh, and this place isn't a beer garden, but it had more than two taps - which was awesome. I haven't had Guinness on tap in over a month, it was heavenly. There are four other non-canoe sex draft options as well. Prices are in the range that you would see in other similar places. If you like board games, there are tons of them around and people seemed to be playing happily. This is also a great place for good conversation and hanging out.
