I found this place by luck while researching Oslo online. This is quite a hidden gem in a small…read moreneighborhood close to the center. The interior when you walk in is spacious yet cozy. Pillows and throws on love seats that line the walls. Patterned rugs on the floors. Very quaint and adorable. There are a few menu items that you can order by themselves (like a normal restaurant), but the main event at this place are the Mediterranean "Tapas". They call them "mezah". The menu is only in Norwegian, but from what I understood, you can choose any combination of Mezah, each costing 40 nok, or have the chef choose 6 for you, and they will cost 160 nok for vegetarian or 180 nok for meat and vegetarian (so you save quite a bit). This combo comes with pita and feeds one (hungry) person. My boyfriend and I decided to each order one, so we got quite the variation of Mezah's to try. Some were very good, others not so much. The Bulgur, Tsatsiki, Kyllingvinger (chicken wings) and Kjøtboller (meatballs) were our favorites. We did not like the Baba Ganosh or the Squash, but maybe that's just our aversion to "weird vegetables" as we like to call them haha. Everything else was good. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes to try new things, is hungry, and is in the mood for Mediterranean/ Turkish/ middle eastern food. It might be a little pricey, but definitely worth trying a lot of different dishes.

The feeling of summer in Greece hits you with Greek music, happy people, plants hanging from the celling and simple interior combined with the smell of good Mediterranean food. The food also tasted like it was supposed to. Really good. This was my first visit and I'm definitely coming back.

I absolutely adored my evening at Cru. I will run, not walk, back here the next time in Oslo. It…read morewas a quiet and intimate dining room (I ate downstairs), and I was well-attended-to all evening, especially by a nice Scottish waiter who saw I was a wine lover and was chatty and helpful. I had a ravishingly good glass of Sekt (sparkling riesling) by von Buhl, which was crisp and acidic and a bit biscuity, though not as much as the blanc de blanc champagnes I love. The bread and butter on the table was the most delicious dark caraway bread I've ever had in my life, hands down. I had a slow-cooked lamb stew that was small but thrillingly good. There was watercress and bacon along with it, over a pea purée and with some fresher peas. Absolutely delicious, the meat was extremely tender and tasty. I would have wished for twice as much. My waiter/sommelier steered me away from a 1999 Château Lanessan (which he let me try anyway) because it was kind of faded and instead towards a 2015 Barda Pinot Noir from Argentina, which was in a much better window and ended up matching better. (Though in the end, although it is tastefully made, there was too much new oak and sweetness in it for my taste.) I had a crème catalane at the end which was very nice and palate-cleansing. The main portion was small, but the food was incredibly good. Maybe have a little apéro snack before you head to Cru. And yes, the bill adds up quickly, but this is Oslo. This was quality.

Nice location quiet and secluded at Majorstuen (Oslo West) The Restaurant was warm and nicely decorated. The waiter seated us and started telling us about the menu (We went for the 7-course menu) the staff was professional and friendly, the sommelier was very knowledgeable and he recommended some great wine throughout the entire meal. This is one of Oslo's best restaurants right now, the food and the wine was perfect inn every way, as was the staff @ CRU. Highly recommended.

I wanted to have a seafood meal on the water, and this place was perfect!…read more I took a taxi from my hotel, it dropped my friend and me off around the corner, we walked down to the water, and got a table outside with a nice view of the harbor. While this is a seafood restaurant, it has several Greek items on the menu. We ordered beers and looked at the menu. They brought us cold beers, and we ordered Norwegian oysters, calamari, and I had the Halibut for my main. The oysters were spectacular! I am not a fan of warm water oysters in the summer, but knowing these come from the cold waters around Norway, I was happy, and boy, were they good! The Calamari was tender and sweet, but the best part of the meal was my Halibut- perfectly cooked, and the lemon sauce was divine, as well as the potatoes and cabbage. We had a nice bottle of white wine as well. Our waiter was attentive without being overbearing, all in all, an excellent dinner on the water- just what I wanted!
