Menu is like an American coffee shop, but with more upscale items. Plus they have a full bar and an excellent selections of wines and beer. Servers, like all over Norway, are multi-lingual and their English is quite good, so no problems getting answers to your questions. Wife liked her pasta and goulash soup, while I had an excellent burger. Tram line runs right in front of it, so wherever you are in Oslo you can get there easily.

This restaurant still used real candles on each table and lit it when we were seated. Norwegian specialties filled the menu. We decided on two entrees: Monk fish was moist and the brown butter sauce made it tastier. A small assortment of different mushroom varieties and small potatoes rounded out the dish. The reindeer steak was cooked to a medium, was nice and tender and the lingonberries sauce to the pickled onions complemented every bite. Service was quite good throughout and empty water vases replaced with full on a regular basis. Would definitely come back here again. As the quality of food and prices were good.

Adriatic Cafe+ is unique, independent and outstanding value. Just the way I like it :) Adriatic make fantastic Balkan food, that alone should hopefully get your attention as I cannot think of many cities in Europe where you can experience this amazing type of food. Its kind of a cross between Turkish / Greek and everything good in between. We stopped by for lunch having visited Oslo over a long weekend and I wish we had discovered this place sooner. They didn't have an English menu and not being familiar with Balkan food we struggled to pick out many dishes. Fortunately, the staff were really helpful and translated a number of things for us. We order the delightful feta burek, which is almost like a British style flaky pastry pie, the Cevapi, which are like mini beef sausage kebabs inside a fresh, hot pide style flat bread, chicken kebab and a shopska salad. When the food arrived we were instantly taken aback by the size of the portions and the quality of the food. Everything was so delicious and fresh and to make matters even better, it was the cheapest place by far that we had found in Oslo. I also discovered a new food in the form of Kajmak which was an accompaniment to the Cevapi. Its kind of like a soft, Philadelphia type cheese, but lighter and much more flavoursome. Anyway, it complemented the meat wonderfully and I just couldn't get enough of it. This restaurant is a perfect spot for a nice lunch or cheap dinner. It definitely needs your attention, so go check it out!

Quite simply amazing on all fronts! How this place has so few reviews is complete madness. We ate…read morein several places in Oslo and this was without doubt my favourite by a long way..........AND.......... That's even including the fact that they don't have a license to sell alcohol! Where to start!?! The friendliest waitress that we were served by across our whole trip. Keen to help, chatty, efficient and explained the menu to us. Decor of the place was nice, open and bright. It is selling Balkan dishes and goes for a costal type feel with wooden ornaments dotted about the place. Now the two most important bits. The food is really really cheap for Norway and would even be considered good value on the UK. If your in Oslo and your sick of the high prices, get yourself along here and treat yourself at bargain pricing. The food itself was really really tasty. Great kebabs in lovely flat bread, amazing cheese & tomato salad and beautiful local pie style dishes. (All the actual dish names we had are on Rocco G's review if you want to check them out) I love this place and would go regularly if it was in Glasgow. If your a Oslo local you need to start giving it some love. If your a tourist you should check it out for lunch or dinner. You will not be disappointed.

Our first time visiting Oslo. Heard great things about this restaurant. Even though we had no…read morereservations we were sat immediately. My sister had the salmon special and I had the shrimp sandwich. Both meals were excellent. I was full so wanted to take my leftovers to the hotel. I was told they do not allow any food leaving. I thought it might be a law so I checked and what I found was there is no law in Oslo preventing anyone from taking there leftovers. In fact I was told if you paid for the meal you have a right to bring it home. So that is my displeasure with this restaurant.

We had the fish soup which was filled with seafood, the oysters (which tasted great, but they didn't have horseradish or cocktail sauce which are standard in the states), the crab schnitzel which was also delicious.

Just say it was impressive from beginning to the end. It's a lot of course menu non stop for sure. First we were greet and sat at the couch where the pre appetizers were served. Then we were escorted to our table in the middle of the room overlooks the open kitchen, where you can see a dozen of chefs/sour chefs prepared the foods. Just say that all dishes are very appealing and well presented. Majority of dishes are definitely a hit and just couple are just unsure since my pallet didn't quite welcomed the dishes. Services are so high ended, very attentive and knowledgeable. I got wines & champagne to go with the course and it was fantastic. The place is modern, minimal decor but goes well with Nordic atmosphere and in certain way, warm. My kid enjoyed it quite a bit, with all dishes with 3 different desserts plus one for my birthday so he was over the moon. He gave it a 2 thumbs up for overall experiences. Definitely an event not to forget.

Fortunately, we were able to make a reservation at Kontrast for dinner and see what a 2-Michelin star place was like in Norway. The interior decor is modern and upscale, giving a great vibe that I would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. The service was top-notch, with friendly service and detailed explanations of the dishes we would eat. One of the dishes that stood out to me during this meal was the duck liver brulee with sunflower seeds, a course that had rich, caramelized meaty flavor that was grounded by the nuttiness of the seeds. Another one that I enjoyed a lot was the grilled langoustine, a succulent piece of seafood with a charred exterior that really showcased the quality of their ingredients. I was also a big fan of the reindeer from Jotunheimen that came with beetroots from Dalen farm. My group originally had tried reindeer meat at a different restaurant earlier in the trip and didn't enjoy it that much since it was too gamey for us. However, this reindeer was much better in quality and filled with a lot of flavor while not being too overwhelming. Finally, the desserts of sea buckthorn with woodruff and blueberry with black koji were a great way to end the meal. The presentation of these dishes were well-executed, and the tartness of the dishes went well with the sweeter counterparts in each. Overall, although Kontrast is on the pricey side I enjoyed the experience and am glad I was able to sample the best of what Norway had to offer!

From the sedate…read moreentry to the stunning dining room, the experience of dining in this incredible establishment is beyond compare to any dining opportunity one might have. We made our reservations months in advance, and we had already planned to partake of the tasting menu - all ten courses - and we were not disappointed. We also chose the wine-paired version, and the sommeliers selected incredible wines. There were also three additional dishes that were not in the printed menu, and they just added to the perfection of the entire meal. The menu does change on a regular basis based on ingredient availability and the seasons. And every ingredient is treated thoughtfully. And every ingredient is perfectly delicious. This is a dining adventure, and it is meant to be savored in both time and taste. There was not a single time in this evening that we felt wanting for anything. And, thankfully, the portions are small to allow for enjoyment of the meal without feeling outrageously full. My simple advice - if you have the opportunity when in Oslo, make the reservation to enjoy everything that is offered. It is not to be missed!!!!!

The building alone dates back to the 1700s n the restaurant was established in the 1800s. You can see and feel the history the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is special warm n uniquely Norwegian.

We also tried the reindeer tartare so good and shared the whale steak. Glad I tried it not really for me, but not bad. Service was great, and they told us it gets busy during the day with jazz playing. If you want a place in Oslo that feels authentic and rich with history, this is it.

The mussels were very good, the parmesian fries I would skip. The pig wing was good though. The total cost was around $100 US dollars.
