The woman that "greets" you at the door was incredibly rude! I have always enjoyed this place but…read moremost likely will never be back as long as she is the gate keeper. 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. If you must have one meal in Oslo, this is it!

Delightful presentation and sumptuous preparation of locally sourced foods; trout, duck and cheese cake with sorbet and berries for dessert. This place offers a large outdoor terrace cafe, with light fare and hot meals and desserts. Prices are high but not more than what's expected when traveling in Norway.

Perched high above Oslo (though still an easy car ride away from the city centre) it's tough to think that anywhere affords a better view of Norway's capital. No one at my table could resist the moules frites. The mussels were cooked in a coconut, lime and chili broth that begged to be sopped up by the fries (bread too.) And service was attentive but never hovering. In sum: breathtaking views of Oslo and mighty good moules frites too!

Did the 6-course tasting meal, which was artfully done, down to the handmade bread and the octopus ring atop the starter, cheese flakes on the halibut, and neat stack on the hake. Cheese and fruit bread was lovely, as was the poached peach. Only near-miss was the duck, which was tasty but not quite tender enough. Not the fanciest or most innovative meal, but well-presented and tasty. And given how expensive food is around here, not too bad either.

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.

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.
