The aesthetic and the pairing of flavors reminded me again that Americans really don't know how to cook. The name of the dish: Meatball. Easy & simple right? The meatballs were placed on a bed of mashed potatoes that was topped with vegetable (I think swiss chard), maybe seaweed, and lingonberry. That is, the meatballs were sleeping on top of the bed of glorious mashed-potato infused with all of the fixings. I'm also pretty sure there was one more item in that mix that seemed odd, but worked really, really well. The mooseburger was really tender and the fries were good. They were out of their draft beer by the time I ordered, so settled for a nice pepsi instead.

They have a nice and casual, homey vibe going on and it was very much a packed restaurant an hour into our meal. They have been awarded a bib gourmand so we had to do their seven courses. Food in Norway has been of the utmost quality and extremely fresh, and this place certainly had that. Most dishes were unique and tasty with a few that were more simple and as expected. Their main protein dish fell flat as we were hoping for it to be medium rare and it was well done and dry. Overall, a huge deal with several dishes to try so we left quite happy from this meal. Also, make sure to reserve as I saw some people get turned around for not having a reservation.

There are two parts of this restaurant, the fancy dinner option (you must make reservations for this portion) and the cafe which is self service. My boyfriend and I did not know you needed reservations for the dine in option so we sat ourselves in the very welcoming cafe dining room. The menu for both are the same so no worries if you can't get a reservation. The self serve option can seem confusing initially but they have a lot of grab and go but you can also order hot meals by ringing a bell for the chef. Check out is right before you leave the self service area which makes it really easy. I felt the prices were really fair too. For food I got the meatballs and split pea stew. My boyfriend got reindeer with cream sauce and mashed potatoes. I absolutely loved my meatballs, they were sweet and savory, I did not really like the split pea stew though. My boyfriend loved his entire meal and cleared his plate. We also shared their most popular dessert which is the apple pie. It was really good, not too sweet which was perfect for us. Definitely come to this restaurant when visiting Oslo!

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!
