The restaurant also has a fish shop attached. I ordered creamy fish soup as it's a traditional Norwegian staple. It had mussels and vegetables and came with bread and aioli. I enjoyed it overall, but found some sand at the bottom of the soup possibly from the leek. I also shared the raw platter - 3 Fine oysters, 3 Boudeuse oysters, ceviche, löjrom snack, and salmon tartar. The löjrom snack (salted chips, löjrom roe, sour cream, shallots, chives) was the favorite. Everything was fresh and tasty, but it was also an expensive lunch.

This popular casual seafood restaurant is just a short walk from Oslo Central Station. We came for…read morean early dinner around 4:15P on a Saturday and the restaurant was already mostly full inside. The setup includes tall tables, booths, a few seats at the bar and several patio tables outside, though it was unfortunately raining during our visit. The host initially seated the four of us at the bar, which was tight, but at least it had a nice view into the kitchen! Once a booth opened up, he offered to move us and we were much more comfortable. The most popular menu item here is the fish and chips, but our waiter said he loves the cod croquettes and that was all it took to convince me since you don't see those on just any menu. + COD CROQUETTES: Five crispy golden croquettes were fried to perfection with a rich creamy cod filling. They were served atop a bold red pepper purée, drizzled with a savory aioli and finished with shredded cheese. The red pepper sauce added a fantastic warmth that really elevated the dish, and the portion size was just right. + CUCUMBER SALAD: A large portion of sliced cucumbers (and another crunchy veggie I couldn't identify) was tossed in a sesame oil dressing. This was so refreshing and crisp, cutting through the richness of the croquettes. We easily split it between the four of us. The only other veggie option was green salad. My sister got the ceviche, which is a lighter entrée. She liked the fish, but said it was extremely citrusy, more than she expected. There were also some tough corn-like pieces which she put to the side since they were too difficult to chew. Service throughout our meal was warm and attentive; our waiter regularly checked on us and even brought an extra bottle of water when he noticed ours running low. Overall, I loved my croquettes, the salad was delicious, and the staff's hospitality made this a memorable final dinner in Oslo!

We decided to go with the Chef's Menu- one order for the two of us as the portions are sizable. We started with whale. It was soft and smoky. I didn't care too much for it. For the main, you can choose between the grilled pork knuckle or pork neck. Of course we went with the former. The skin was satisfyingly crunchy and the meat was mostly tender. It is also accompanied by mashed potatoes and much needed vegetables. Lastly, dessert was a white chocolate mousse with espresso and bacon. I could've went without the bacon, but I guess they needed to add pig to it as the restaurant is called "The Happy Pig." We ourselves left happy and stuffed.
