Because few options were open late in Oslo, Restaurant Fjord sorta won out by default. And it was nothing short of exquisite. Nestled in the heart of the city, it captivates diners with its impeccable blend of presentative (is that a word??) artistry and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The menu combines Nordic flavors and innovative techniques. There is no question about the quality of the ingredients. Each dish is a visual and gastronomic masterpiece, delivering a memorable journey through Norwegian cuisine. The waiter is SO knowledgeable - he really knew how to sell it! The attention to detail extends beyond the plate, with attentive staff enhancing the overall dining experience. The restaurant's commitment to sustainability is evident, with thoughtfully sourced ingredients that celebrate the region's natural bounty. Whether indulging in seafood delicacies or savoring reinvented classics, every moment was a celebrateion. It's an unassuming destination that will leave a lasting impression. read more

The wine choice is the only thing good about this place, we had a 5 courses meal, the crayfish is saggy and taste like flour，the salmon was ok but the tusk was salty and raw. The whale is over cooked. There's hardly any balance of flavor. Each dish is either super salty or sweet or sour. I can hardly believe such level of awefulness with such a high price. The service is ok but I had lost my appetite after the crayfish. Feel free to go if you have the desire to be ripped off. read more

Upscale fine dining in a seafood restaurant in Oslo center. Service was excellent Choices of 3-4-5 course menu I have never tasted Minke whale so that was an obvious choice. Tastes like beef(after all whale is a mammal with red wine sauce. Wine pairings available Highly recommend read more

So disappointed. The oysters were good but the service and value were terrible. This is a place where you trick yourself into thinking the food tastes good, just because it was expensive. The waiter was rude. My napkin was on the table before any food arrived, and he grabbed it off the table and condescendingly threw it onto my lap. Also there was a HAIR in my friend's dish of ravioli... I have a picture posted to show it. Literally there was one piece of ravioli and it had a hair in it, so she obviously had to send it back. The chef brought her replacement and apologized. However, I was very surprised that they did not give anything complimentary despite the hair abomination... they should have brought a dessert or something on the house. Pretty disappointed. Would not recommend. read more

The best meal we have had anywhere in the world in the last year. The food was spectacular and the service genuine and friendly. This place is pricey but so is all of Norway. The menu is fixed with six courses offered but you get to pick which ones you want. There are three appetizers, a main, a cheese course and dessert. A couple of extras are available (oysters and bread) and there are two wine pairings suggested for each course. And a few amuse bouches/palate cleansers show up along the way. We had a stunning raw salmon appetizer with "its own roe", creme fraiche, asparagus and rye crumbs to start. It was followed by a minke whale teriyaki with sweet potato, followed by poached flounder with cauliflower, followed by hake, followed by cheeses and finished with a "nemesis cake" with strawberries and coffee ice cream. Yes it was expensive, but boy was it good. read more

Absolutely amazing meal, made with Norwegian ingredients and local taste. Every dish was intricately prepared and meticulously thought through. Presentation was very pleasing as well. The oysters were also quite delicious, being from the US, we've never tasted some of these European oysters before. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion and to experience fine dining in Oslo. read more

I went here for my birthday as a group of 4 people (we had reserved a table 3 days previously). We were seated at a table in the middle of the restaurant, which was slightly unfortunate, as the noise level is quite loud, and one of the party was an elderly lady who had trouble following the conversation. I recommend either going as a party of 2 or 3, or to bring your loudest friends :P We were taken well care of by a friendly and swift waiter, and the level of service at Fjord was generally good. The menu is a 6 course weekly set menu (two starters, one main, cheeses and dessert) from which you can choose 3,4, 5 or 6 courses (there is only one main course. There is also an accompanying wine menu, from which you can choose by the glass (NOK 100 per glass) - I really liked this concept, as I could have whichever wine from the menu I wanted with each dish. I chose 4 of the 6 courses, and as my husband chose the 2 dishes I hadn't picked, I got to sample the whole menu. As an appetizer, we were served a small plate of smoked mussels, smoked white fish (can't remember what sort) and squid. While I don't care much for squid, the mussels and fish were a delicious and promising start to the meal. My first starter, grilled trout with mango curry, bans and a vegetable samosa, was light, flavourful and zesty. However, my husband's starter of scallops with ponzu sauce was even better. My second starter, halibut with cauliflower pure, bacon and caviar was just as delicious, and even made me appreciate the large-grain type of caviar that I usually find to "fishy"-tasting. Our main course of cod with veal sauce, mushroom pure and braised celery received high praise all around the table - I especially thought the beet pure with lingonberry was a stroke of genius. The cheese board consisted of small (perhaps slightly too small) pieces of Norwegian cheeses (aged Jarlsberg, goat cheese, brie and blue cheese) with accompanying jams, and was much appreciated by my husband. My dessert of chocolate mousse, mocha ganache, salted caramel ice cream and raspberry coulis was good, but I must admit I had expected a somewhat more exciting and well balanced dessert after all the marvellous dishes that had preceded it. The ganache had a slightly unpleasant grainy quality to it (ground coffe beans, perhaps?), and the ice cream was a bit bland compared to other salted caramel ice creams I have tried before. To sum it up, I had a lovely and quite inspiring meal at Fjord, and would highly recommend eating there to anyone who appreciates the kind of "modern Scandi fine dining food" that so many Oslo restaurants are serving (most at far scarier prices than Fjord). A real birthday treat! read more

Very delicious 5 course dinner. Wine was great, presentation beautiful. Small restaurant with great ambience. This dinner takes awhile, so allow several hours. While expensive, I think other restaurants of similar stature are more expensive than this one. Seems odd to mention, but I thought bathroom was beautifully done too! read more

Beautiful presentation. Delicious dishes. Modern interior. Took lots of pictures of the six course meal we had. Very relaxing atmosphere and attentive staff. Would come again if I lived in Oslo. read more

**FOOD: wonderful Flavourful food, food was prepared meticulously and with precision. was able to watch them prepare even plucking their fresh ingredients from the open viewing kitchen. chefs were obviously passionate about their preparation as they seemed to work intently on the dishes. One fixed course menu offered only -so very very limited however you do get to pick 1 appetizer from a selection of 3, have only 1 entrée so no selection here and I think you did have 2 selections of dessert. even though it was a very limited menu what they do prepare was very very good. **COST (out of 4$): $$$$ pricey for what you get. miniscule portions it's more like bite size appetizers but all food was tasteful **SERVICE: good service, not necessarily fawning over you good but prompt and courteous. memorable or personable service it was not **DECOR: intimate setting, beautifully decorated in blue and interesting chandeliers, contemporary and quirky, lots of blue and gold evokes being underwater I suppose. **RECOMMEND: YES would recommend this Michelin starred restaurant **OUR MEAL: Had the 3 course meal with wine. The cod was the most memorable. cooked perfectly. we each ordered a different appetizer and was able to taste a morsel of the 3 appetizers. very good but when you have to share the bite size you end up not really eating not more than a nibble. They did give us sorbet as palate cleanser. Dessert was good too. read more

We ordered three apps and a main course. The first dish was a tuna tartare that surpassed any previous version. And then every dish that followed outdid its predecessor. I have had many fine meals in many countries. None better than this. Absolutely the finest seafood meal any of us had ever eaten. read more

I went there because Michelin star and see others Comments. But very disappointed. Only one choice for main course, and every meal are very salty. Service just so so, the restaurant is very small and old. Not recommended. read more

It pains me to write this because I was so hopeful that Fjord would be a wonderfully memorable dining experience. Memorable it was, but in quite a different way. The menu offered little choice. The fish of the day was whale. That's a subject I need not go into. The owner did offer us another choice:fried cod. Alright, I said, that would be fine. When we began to eat it, it was clear that it was not fresh CID at all but salt cod that had been insufficiently soaked in water to remove the salt. It was as if someone had salted the fish and the cap of the salt shaker had come off. We sent it back and were then told that they had halibut--a great favorite of ours and a fish I have cooked many times. It's a thick-cut fish and we like it cooked through. This came through one degree above sashimi and almost cold. At that point, I gave up the struggle and asked for the check. This very disappointing meal set us back $165.00. I chalk it up to experience and the meal did spoil an otherwise-fine visit to Oslo. But we warned, it is a ruinously town. After the disastrous dinner, we solaced ourselves with some frozen yogurt: the two small cups cost us $16.00. We will file for Chapter 11 when we get home. read more

Awesome service and food. The cod was incredible. Really enjoyed the excellent wait staff. Highly recommended!!!!!

Fine gourmet food, new menu every week (only fish / sea food) - check it out on internet before booking. Only sad point is time spent waiting that I thought was a bit long, but it's worth it! read more

By far the best accommodating restaurant with the most exquisite flavors and ingredients that I've ever tasted. Will definitely make a frequent visit here. You can't get anything like this in Oslo. read more

Must go place for seafood lovers. Delicious food and extraordinary service. Baked hake was excellent. The chef is thoughtful and accommodating of any allergies and dietary restrictions. Presentation of food and explanation of the dishes by the server made it even more appetizing. Tip: make a reservation ahead of time. read more
