This is a very beautiful and traditional Norwegian restaurant. I felt like I was dining in the past…read morewith the cultural architecture this building provides. There are two parts of this restaurant, the fancy dinner option (you must make reservations for this portion) and the cafe which is self service. My boyfriend and I did not know you needed reservations for the dine in option so we sat ourselves in the very welcoming cafe dining room. The menu for both are the same so no worries if you can't get a reservation. The self serve option can seem confusing initially but they have a lot of grab and go but you can also order hot meals by ringing a bell for the chef. Check out is right before you leave the self service area which makes it really easy. I felt the prices were really fair too. For food I got the meatballs and split pea stew. My boyfriend got reindeer with cream sauce and mashed potatoes. I absolutely loved my meatballs, they were sweet and savory, I did not really like the split pea stew though. My boyfriend loved his entire meal and cleared his plate. We also shared their most popular dessert which is the apple pie. It was really good, not too sweet which was perfect for us. Definitely come to this restaurant when visiting Oslo!

We shared their signature plate, the pork knuckle and it was delicious! I'm glad we shared it though cause it was a ton of food. The meat was tender and the skin was extra crispy. It's served with a delicious mustard sauce that goes well with the pork. It sits on a bed of mashed potatoes and sautéed veggies (cabbage, green beans and carrots). The beer selection is massive so it's also great for beer lovers. I would highly recommend this place to locals and tourists alike!

I actually wanted something 'lighter' but I asked for his recommendation, and of course he said the signature item that they are "famous" for. I also paired it with some whale, because I like eating protected and endangered species. The whale was the best part. Tastes like those cute little puffins, vaguely like a tender beef jerky. As for the caveman chunk of pork on a bone. Woof. I mean, it's good. The crackling is like pork rinds on steroids and the meat really did fall off the bone. The mustard sauce and the mashed potatoes were loaded with fat. However, the staff friendly and attentive. I love my meats, but this did not blow my mind. Would not go out of my way to come here, and I think the overall ratings are a bit generous.

The atmosphere is cozy and traditional Norwegian, with a warm and welcoming staff who made us feel right at home. We had the fish and chips, which were crispy and flavorful and fries.

Good Friendly Dining…read more Ole' school design. This may be typical of traditional Norwegian design, but it has the feel of an American steakhouse of the 1970s 80s. Not a bad thing just lots of dark wood and dark leather chairs. It's the kind of place where you can hear the sounds of cooking from the kitchen behind the bar and a little bell is rung when the food is ready. I ordered the steak Smorgasbord, which I now know is an open face meat sandwich. It was great. It was not too large but the perfect size for lunch and not wanting to get bogged down while walking the tourists sights. The steak was tender but properly cooked. Smothered in onions and gravy and accompanied by a small salad. Delicious and filling. A definite comfort food. The waiter/bartender was very helpful and super friendly. Fluidly switching between English Norwegian and German, that I heard. Seems to be a mix of locals and tourists. Dessert- an apple dish, see photos It too was tasty but not too heavy despite its large size. It was not overly sweet like you find in most American restaurants.
