    Oui, oui, oui! This brasserie can be one of my new favorites for a weekend lunch. I was here for…read moretheir special buffet on Saturdays between 12:00-15:30, which serves a good selection of rustic French fare. Onion soup? Check. Cassoulet? Check. Creme brulee? Check. The buffet selections are extensive that you can construct a satisfying 4-course traditional French meal. 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.

    What a special treat. Great service. Amazing food. Close to our hotel (Saga). We opted for a late…read morereservation since we booked earlier that day, and jet-lag helped us enjoy our meal at 21:30. 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.

    Thus is a high end supermarket with eateries inside. They have good meats, seafood, cheeses, and…read moreimport products from Scandic countries and Europe. I didn't eat there, but heard their pizza and oysters are very good.

It was fun to go through the meats, cheese selections and spices. We finally sat down to eat at the cafe. The woodfire oven looked very nice hut the seating area was not cozy or comfortable. In fact it was cramped and people waiting in line to order were hovering around people who were sitting and eating. The pizza was delicious. Thin crust and just the right juicy, if you know what I mean. The vegetarian focaccia look very good but it wasn't good to eat. The bread wasn't tasty and the cheese tomato combo was just not right. The Vanilla Cronut was a lot like the original NY Cronut and I liked it a lot. Will definitely have the pizza and Cronut if I come back. The desserts looked good as did the breads. Maybe I'll try the olive bread next time. The thing about this particular neighborhood of Skøyen is that it's too cold and deserted even on a Saturday afternoon. This place makes me feel cut off from the world, like a modern and fun-looking ghost town. Ikke koselig! Don't know if I'll go back here. ESP when I can get better pizza at Olivia's which is the same price, much more fun and closer to me.
