I had the Pisco Beats cocktail and we the also ordered the meat and cheese board from the kitchen. The cocktail was really tasty but a little pricy, so be prepared to pay a little more here for the drinks. I was really surprised with the food, we ordered the medium sized board and got so much. I'll be back to have another drink and try their next pop up kitchen but probably for a special occasion!

Vérité is a stylish cocktail lounge located at Akerbrygge. It should be the kind of place that…read moreenjoy going to, but truth is that you don't love it. The drinks are mediocre, and personally I feel the space is way to big. It does not have that intimate feeling that you want it to have. My first experience of Vérité was at a friends birthday party. We had reserved seats for 15 and were seated in a private aria upstairs which felt cold and impersonal. The place was way to big for 15, and once people started to leave we decided to cram ourself into the lounge downstairs which immediately felt better. We didn't goto a bar to be seated by ourself, obviously we go to a bar so we can also see other people. I am sure the upstairs space is nice for big groups that have a closed party of sorts, it just wasn't for us. My biggest disappointment of the night was my whisky sour. Normally this drink is on the sour side, but my drink was as sweet as a ripe orange. Actually it tasted just like orange juice, and that is not how you want your whisky sour to taste like! I appreciate that bars try to do something different with their drinks, but I expected my drink to have a sour lemony-whisky taste, and it did not. I ended up sending my drink back, but only to have them give me the exact same drink without any changes. My takeaway form this is just don't order the whisky sour, go for something else, like wine! Overall Vérité has a great location at Akerbrygge, with a slightly "high-end" clientele, however there are so many great bars popping up in Oslo that I just wouldn't spend much time at this location.

The drinks are delicious and ambiance is low key but trendy. Definitely brings in a mixed crowed but mostly people in their mid to late twenties/early thirties. On a Saturday night there is a small line to get in that normally forms a little bit prior to midnight. The lounge downstairs allows people to sit and talk, the music is not too loud, while the upstairs is normally a bit more crowded and loud when they have a DJ playing. My only complaint is that the bar service is very slow compared to other places. Although I saw three or four people behind the bar only two of them were actually mixing drinks (both of them made excellent drinks) but I waited 10 minutes to order and what felt like another 10 minutes to get my drinks. Disappointing considering the bar wasn't full. Still going back to explore more of the drinks.

I was seduced by the smell of barbeque wafting my way while walking across Youngstorget, and…read moredecided to see how the burgers at Internasjonalen compared with the rest of the gourmet burgers in Oslo. I chose the Balvanera burger, which had chorizo, caramelized onions, grilled green chili pepper and kimchi mayo in addition to the burger and lettuce and bun. The patty itself was perfectly cooked (verging slightly on the pink side in the middle), and tasted pleasantly meaty and smoky. The chorizo and kimchi mayo worked very well together, and made for an exciting taste combo. The bun was lovely and exceedingly fluffy - better than I would expect, to be honest! My only criticisms would be that the burger suffered from what I like to call "height syndrome" - i.e. that it's so tall that it is impossible to eat with your hands. Also, I would have liked the option of adding ketchup. At 179kr, it is also a quite pricey burger, but this is Osli, after all.
