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.

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

Highly recommend and beautiful views of the water.

This isn't your typical fried chicken; they took an ordinary concept, and transformed chicken into a bucket of flavorful yum! The magic is in how the chicken was seasoned. I can tasted the chicken was well marinated before they even add the coat of batter. You have a burst of flavors in your mouth, from tangy to savory to sweet. The french fries are amazing! Who would have thought to add dill onto fries? No one! However, they did and the combination paid off. Again, tangy and savory! If you're not a chicken wing person, they offer chicken tenders. If you're not a chicken tender person, they offer chicken sandwich. In other words, there's plenty of fun for everyone.

Elias Mat & Sant is a delightful restaurant in Oslo, a city that has endless restaurants. But…read moreElias Mat & Sant is perfect if you're looking for classic, Norwegian food in a casual setting. I enjoyed my time here. Elias Mat & Sant is located in the sentrum, Oslo's city center, so is walking distance to many sites and attractions. I visited here after walking from the palace along Karl Johans Gate as the restaurant is located off this main drag. Make reservations here for the restaurant is small and intimate. It was time to try reindeer while in the Nordic region of the world, so here I did. I ordered the reindeer stew, which was delicious. The reindeer stew was similar to a beef stew, but the reindeer is leaner, so didn't taste as heavy, which is a good thing. Over some mashed potatoes with a gravy and herbs and a side of lingonberry, it completed the meal. It also came with a side of complimentary bread, which is not always the case at other restaurants. That was a nice bonus though because the bread helped soaked up the stew. Perfection!

They offer a variety of dishes with chicken, lamb and vegetables. We received an appetizer our orders very quickly. The staff are very attentive and would often come by and ask if we needed anything. As we sat waiting for our order the restaurant filled up pretty quickly so I would probably recommend reserving a table if you want to make sure that you get a table on the weekend. I ordered grilled lamb with a salad which was very tasty. The portions there are pretty big so I would probably recommend you go there with a big appetite. We were so full by our main course that we ended up not getting dessert even though it looked very tempting. I would definitely recommend this place.
