The man and I just moved in down the street a couple blocks and have been experimenting with the…read morelocal restaurants to see what's what. Habanero is a cozy little corner mexican joint that we had heard some good things about, we gave it a try later on a Sunday evening. We sat in a comfy booth in the back and perused the small but varied menu. Our waitress was kind, and patient with us as we don't speak Norwegian. We ended up ordering chips and salsa to start and the beef fajitas to share. The chips and salsa weren't what we expected... with our American mindset we expected some chips, with salsa to dip. We actually got a bowl of nachos essentially, which was really tasty. There are also nachos on the menu, I'd be curious to order those next time to see what comes out. The beef fajitas were lightly spiced, not the sizzling kind, but well seasoned an marinated, mixed with onions and peppers. They came with a generous plate of toppings that included salad, guac, hot sauce, salsa, pico, beans and some shredded cheese. They also offered to bring more tortillas. The beef fajitas were like NOK260 per person, 2 person min is required FYI. Chicken was I think NOK229. So the food was quite good, and you wonder why three stars? Once our meal was complete it took a good 40 minutes for us to get our left overs boxed up, get our check, and be able to pay. They got a bit busy toward the end so I thing we got a bit forgotten. This won't stop us from coming in again though and shouldn't stop you either, just don't be rushed, be happy to chill and take your time.

The first Peruvian restaurant to open in Oslo, following a big international trend of this latino…read morekitchen. The expectations were high and they truely delivered. The interior is really nicely decorated and minimalistic. Wooden tables, retroish mustard colored comfy chairs, inka art on the wall and a long bar running through the entire place. They had eight dishes and two desserts to choose from. We ordered all to share. The first three were ceviche/tiradito. Very different and very tasty. Then we had a dish with octopus and one with monkfish. Both tasted good and had some interesting flavors. Next up was the highlight of the evening: Chicharron! Slow cooked fatty pork with puffed pork rind. Delicious! We had to order a second plate of this. Desserts were not enjoyed by everyone at the table, but I loved the "Inka chocolate". Chocolate cream, sorbet, "earth" and dehydrated mousse together with a lime curd. We also had a piece of meat that some at the table found chewy and bad. The biggest drawback with the place are the prices which I found slightly steep for some of the rather small servings. That could be the Oslo west location... Some awesome cocktails we had: pisco sour, yuzu my way, manzanita and peruvian nikkei. Go there, go llama!

Peruvian is the new chic, and Aymara is a good introduction to this gastronomic jewel of the world…read more Aymara serves a modern sampler of great peruvian classics, from the cold-and-refreshing (ceviche, tiradito) to the hot-and-earthy (papas, anticuchos). The restaurant has a limited menu with only three cold dishes, five hot dishes and two desserts, served tapas-style. Expect to order 3 small dishes per person and share them across the table. The good: - Chicharrón deserves a thesis on its own. The slow-cooked meat is super tender and oozes goodness out of each bite. The tangy red onions and puffed rinds complement the flavor and texture. - Inka Chocolate is a joy for lovers of deep rich chocolate, with a right burn of chili. - Cocktails are all lovely, go for either pisco sour for a classic or a pisco colada. The average: - Ceviche is rather average which is disappointing, because they could have been fabulous. Alas, the fish did not taste the freshest and lost amidst all the jazz. Some things like choclo (peruvian corn) add nothing except bragging rights of an exotic ingredient. - Tiradito has an interesting passion fruit flavor into the tuna. The smoked cod is okay though some parts (plantains, apple salsa) were a little bland. - Toro Asado is a little tough and is not made with the best cuts. The bad: - Vegetarians beware as only the Papas (peruvian potatoes) dish is vegetarian. The kitchen did prepare additional item, but clearly a vegetarian gets limited experience out of this restaurant. - Prices are too high, considering that you pay almost full-size dish for tapas-sized plates. Verdict: Best South American restaurant in Oslo, though you have to pay a little extra to get 4-star (out of 5) food. Remember the chicharrón!
