This was my first time here and I was excited to try it since my friends, who live in area, had really talked it up. They serve a 3 course meal for a little over kr 400. You can get each meal separately in case there might be one course you dont care for, which I like. When we were there at the end of July, the starter was two crab cakes on a papaya salad, the entree was a choice of char (røye) with peas and a side of potatoes or pork loin (svinekam) with a bean salad, and for dessert it was apple jello, chocolate ice cream with a rhubarb compote, and a cinnamon and sugar merengue all topped with grilled cherries freshly picked from one of the employees gardens. After you have ordered, they come out with freshly made olive bread and aioli. The olive bread was yummy and it was easy to tell the aioli was fresh and homemade. The crab cakes were decent for being crab cakes, but I hate crab so I can't judge them on it. It tasted like they had more curry than crab though. The pork loin was a little dry and had a little too much of something. I am not sure if the taste of the capers were getting in the way or what it was. At first I thought it tasted like too much rosemary, but I couldnt actually see any rosemary. Either way, it was strange and although I liked it and think it's far better than what most restaurants serve in Oslo, I guess I expected my meat to at least not be overcooked for the price I was paying. The dessert was exciting. I had never had apple jello before, but it turns out those two things are perfect for each other. The ice cream was also very good and tasted homemade. It should be pointed out that it was small bits of jello and maybe a tablespoon of ice cream. I typically hate merengues because of their texture, but this one was warm and a little gooey inside and it was awesome. My friend had the char and seemed to like it, but wasn't used to being served fish on the bone so she struggled with that a little. All together for the three course meal, 3 glasses of house white, and a cup of coffee, I paid around kr 700. For the food alone, I might have given this place only three stars. However, the service was great and I loved the atmosphere. Their outdoor area along with the very hippy look and vibe of the waiters made me feel like I was back in San Diego and they definitely get an extra star for that. If the food doesn't bring me back, the atmosphere will.

We waited for more than 10min to get the Menu (and because we finally asked the waiter to bring it! Otherwise we would still be waiting) 2. We ordered the specialties of norwegian cuisine (Cod and Reindeer) as we went there for this purpose. After 10 more minutes, the waitress (a different one from the guy who brought the Menu) told us that there was no Reindeer left. 3. We checked again the Menu and decided to order Deer instead. 10 more minutes and another waitress (the 3rd one in 30min!!!) comes to tell us that there is no Deer (and no pasta, and so on...) and that they are about to close the kitchen!!! :-o 4. To our astonishment, it was just 20:55 on a Friday night. Taking into account we arrived 30min earlier and nobody warned us about the kitchen being closed around 21h... we felt it was just an excuse for not having planned enough stock/food during Easter holidays. Obviously, we left the restaurant and went to another restaurant with food and much better service.

Plenty of good classics here, but a special nod to the stunning, complex sweetness of the onion soup. It's not often you see a buffet of this quality in Oslo. I cannot think of a better value for a big french gourmand.

The white-washed brick walls really give it the French dining feel. We had the fish of the day (halibut), french onion soup, and duck. All was nicely done! The duck especially had a nice caramelized finish to it. Only awkward part (probably our fault) was that we couldn't finish our main course and asked for a box to take the extra with us. Then they didn't serve us our dessert until we asked for it a second time because they thought we were too full (I suppose Norwegians normally order the right amount of food, and maybe it is not normal to save leftovers). We paired dinner with a nice bottle of Barberra as recommended by our waiter. Definitely a nice spot for a special meal.
