Probably one of the best meals that we had on our trip to Norway was our very first night in Oslo…read moreat Fiskeriet. We did not have a reservation, but luckily they managed to fit us in at a shared table. This place is extremely popular so I would highly recommend making a reservation. To start, we ordered the cod croquettes to share. Perfectly fried and golden brown, these croquettes were absolutely delicious and the accompanying sauce paired perfectly. For our entrées, I ordered the fish and chips while my husband ordered the creamy fish soup and my father ordered the fish gratin. All three dishes were fresh and delicious, but I think the fish gratin was my favorite. So if you find yourself an Oslo looking for a delicious meal down by the water, come check out Fiskeriet.

The outside seatings were very full. We had fish and chips, creamy fish soup, and the langoustine special. All are very good, especially the fish soup with salmon and mussels. Fish & Chips is the famous dish there. The langoustine plate came with 2 langoustines halved and some salad. , Service was fine, it was busy we were told the food could take up to 30 minutes to come out but it came sooner.

The main dish was a recommendation by my wonderful waitress, Sarah. The pumpkin ravioli. It didn't disappoint at all with asparagus hidden below The butter sauce was just perfect The raviolis were thin and you could see the pumpkin inside. Just so yummy!!!!! I highly recommend this restaurant and you will not leave hungry !!! No dessert - way too full My last comment is - they were truly remarkable to an American. They sat me with no reservation. They also worked with me explaining the menu in detail. Five stars for sure

The seafood was incredibly fresh - salmon, seafood soup, pollock, and each course was thoughtfully presented. My server kindly charged my phone for me...

Highly recommend and beautiful views of the water.

All tastes are perfectly balanced and just saying it is good would be an insult to the chef. Normally there is always that taste in a fish meal that is to much. Here they got the balance in.

Strangely, when we arrived at 1pm, the restaurant was empty, while the one next door was full. Despite this, we trusted our guide and requested a table. The server initially seated us at a small table away from the windows, but eventually moved us to a window table when we insisted that we would be quick. This happened even though the restaurant was empty, and this is the main reason why I didn't give it a 5-star review. We shared the grilled reindeer and whale plate, which was delicious, but the portion was on the smaller side.

Also the dessert, chocolate cake with mango-mintsauce was top class. In the bar I only took cocktails, but the thing here is that they don't have a menu for cocktails but you have to ask for a certain cocktail yourself, and that's quite confusing, sometimes you name a cocktail and they can't make it, and then it would be easier to just have a cocktail menu as well.

Tok lang tid å bestille, den ene pommesfrites kom når kjøttet var spist. 1/4 av entrecôten var seigt og umulig å spise. Det ene rødvinsglasset ble først servert når vi var ferdige med å spise. Blåskjell var kalde! Sendte dem tilbake, og de var fortsatt kalde når de kom tilbake, men nå var bollen varm. Tror de varmer blåskjellene i microbølgeovn, og det er derfor de også blir seige. Pommesfrites var smakløs. Vanskelig å få kontakt med betjeningen underveis for å purre på manglende retter og tilbehør, dette selv om det var lite folk der. Servitøren var blid og hyggelig. Derfor: gå ikke inn der for lunsj eller middag selv om det er ledige seter

Upon arrival, I was greeted by a nice young lady and asked her for a table for 5. She said, hold on and that she would be right back. Less than 30 seconds later, a skinny man in all black with a thin mustache comes up to the front. He looks at me, no greeting, no smile, and then with this look and a roll of his head of what do you want, said, "yes?" I told him, the other female was already helping us. He then said, what do you want. I proceeded to tell him we were wanting a table for 5. He then said, we have no table when clearly there were tables open and no one else waiting. My husband then said, well she told us to wait. He replies with, "She is a nobody here. Just a waitress. She knows nothing. We cannot seat you." We travel to a foreign country only to be met with racism! Asian group walks in and automatically turns us away. Thankfully this was our only bad experience in Norway. All I have to say to that man is you did us a favor because we ended up at Lofoten and had the best meal and service ever! Spent over a $1,000 on our bill and didn't care. And in the words of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, "Big... BIG MISTAKE!"

This restaurant was highly recommend however I was highly disappointed. Everything about this…read morerestaurant should give you the impression of receiving great service and good food. Everything here was simply, just fair or special, not good and not great considering it's reputation and price. Upon our arrival the host stand seem to be the beginning of confusion and poor service. It's one of those restaurants with all hands on deck causes too many hands in the pot! Once seated several people came to assist us and it wasn't because of the language barrier each one of them spoke English fluently. We placed our order, got our food, ate it was full but not necessarily satisfied. There was one server she was pretty decent but the rest of the experience was mediocre. The only standout were the scallops, perfectly cooked and delicious. Look at the pictures because I really don't have the energy to discuss my average meal! Would I go back or suggest this restaurant? NOPE!
