A delicious dinner where they focus on pork!! Service was also excellent. We made a reservation in…read moreadvance cause this place gets super packed. 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!

The food coma is real. One kilo, the waiter told me. After the fact. Why I ate everything, who…read moreknows. At Oslo prices, it should have been an extra day or two worth of meals. 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.

Cool place and a great mix of cuisines. Friendly staff, great location. Sit outside on a nice day!read more

They serve both lunch and dinner, and the staff is always very friendly. On our last visit, we had open sandwiches for lunch, I choose the steak sandwich, and my wife had shrimp sandwich. Both were excellent.

This is definitely a cozy place to bring your family, your in laws or just some friends who do not mind venturing outside of the city for some really well tasting food!! I love sporting local restaurants, especially when it is a place I have grown up visiting with my parents and grandparents, and that might be one of the reasons I adore this place. The other reason I love Villa Sandvigen is because of the super delicious food, particularly their brown-cheese ice cream desert. Villa Sandvigen have been owned by a few different people, who all have cherished and developed the place into what it is today. A family friendly and local pearl. Their menu might be smaller than a lot of places, but just big enough for everyone to find something tasteful. Last I was here was for mothers day and they had a wonderful three course dinner special. We were greeted in the door by the owner, and catered by her throughout most of our meal. The other waiters were all very polite, expect one lady who kept bringing us someone else's food and really did not listen when we said that it was not ours. Definitely recommend their steak, it is cooked perfectly to your liking, and their potatoes and homemade béarnaise sauce, YUMMMM!!! They will split the dish for you if you want to share it with someone, especially children, and they go beyond to make you happy at Villa Solvigen!

What a great place! I was looking for breakfast in Oslo and this came up as a top pick. I can't…read morebelieve how large the place is, yet has a comfy cozy feel to it. I was there at 9:00 am so still a bit early for a place that stays open until 3:00 am regularly! I took the waitresses recommendation and ordered the avocado toast. I added the fried poached egg out of curiosity. It was amazing! The toast had fresh tomatoes and seasoning. I have never had a fried poached egg... it was so expertly prepared, a real work of art and measure of culinary skill! I can't wait to return to try some other dishes

Usually when I stay in Oslo, I am staying at a hotel that serves some sort of a breakfast buffet…read more This time I am not, so needed to find someplace to fill that need. (and I didn't want to just do a cafe run). A friend reccomended this place and it was a couple of blocks away from where I am staying so I gave it a shot (bonus was that it's open at 0730 M-F, so for someone jet lagged, it was a great way to kill some time early in the morning) Got in and got seated (breakfast restaurants aren't really a thing in Norway, so it was empty when I arrived). Ordered the fried Brussels sprouts as a snack and the eggs, bacon and hash browns as a main w/ locally made sourdough bread from a local bakery on the side. The food was all presented well and tasted great. The hash browns were less shredded potatoes as puréed, then fried. (still tasted fine) and the eggs were scrambled perfectly with the bacon crisped up and sprinkled on top with some sprouts. The bread came lightly oiled and fried (so no need for butter). The Brussels sprouted were roasted with some peppers and served on top of some aioli. Service was great, food was great and will come back at least one more time before I leave town. Yes, it's pretty expensive (this all ran me ~$35 converting from NOK to USD) but Norway in general has a high cost of living, so this is on par with any other sit down meal in a comparable restaurant.
