We visited the restaurant with 4 adults and 2 children. Before ordering, we specifically asked…read moreabout children's portions and were told that some dishes could also be ordered as half portions for kids. Shortly afterwards, the waiter came back and recommended that we simply order the "Schrøder panne" for two people and let the children share from it. Following his recommendation, we ordered two "Schrøder panne" dishes and two additional main courses. When the bill arrived, we were shocked to discover that we had been charged for 4 full "Schrøder panne" dishes plus the two additional main courses. In total, we ended up paying more than €350 for 4 adults and 2 children. Absolutely unacceptable and extremely disappointing treatment of guests. When we questioned the bill, we were only told in English that four adults had eaten from the platters. That may technically have been their interpretation, but it was completely different from the recommendation we had originally received. We honestly felt trapped into paying far more than expected. Vi ønsket å spise der med 4 voksne og 2 barn. Før vi bestilte, spurte vi spesielt om barneporsjoner, og fikk beskjed om at enkelte retter også kunne fås som halve porsjoner for barn. Litt senere kom servitøren tilbake og anbefalte at vi heller bestilte "Schrøder panne" for to personer, slik at barna kunne spise sammen med oss. Vi fulgte anbefalingen og bestilte to "Schrøder panne" samt to andre hovedretter. Da regningen kom, oppdaget vi til vår overraskelse at vi hadde blitt belastet for 4 fulle "Schrøder panne" i tillegg til de to hovedrettene. Til slutt betalte vi over 350 euro for 4 voksne og 2 barn. Dette opplevdes som helt urimelig og svært skuffende behandling av gjester. Da vi spurte om regningen, fikk vi bare forklart på engelsk at fire voksne hadde spist fra platene. Det kan kanskje være deres tekniske forklaring, men det stemte overhodet ikke med anbefalingen vi fikk på forhånd. Vi satt igjen med følelsen av å ha blitt lurt inn i en mye dyrere regning enn forventet.

The best meal we had in Oslo!…read more Food: Amazing food, I ordered the oxtail and my boyfriend had the fish. They were both phenomenal. Beautiful presentation and great flavor. They also brought out a starter and a side of roasted veggies on the house. Service: great service! They took our coats at the door, checked on us regularly, we're very kind, and even brought us those extra bites:) Ambiance: beautiful restaurant, looks like it's attached to a hotel. Definitely dressy-casual at least, it would be a great place for a work dinner or nice family gathering. Price: About $30 (300 NOK) per main course. Overall: absolutely loved it. Would highly recommend!

I came here for breakfast and dinner…read more This restaurant says paleo in its name - but a lot of the menu items have milk in it which is not paleo, so if you're looking for strict paleo, this is not strictly paleo. However, the restaurant does holds true to the grain free and gluten free concept of paleo. Food was very good. We were surprised that a complimentary starter of celery chips and prosciutto with wild mushroom mayo was served. Additionally - a side of beets was served for the entire table which was also part of the meal but not on the menu, so pleasant surprises. The food was delicious, everyone licked their bowl clean. The prices are to be expected in Oslo. I bought a bottle of wine, a starter, entre and dessert for $130 ( everything was for one person). Note - this is not a set menu but there are options for that. There is also an English menu - forgot to take a picture of it. Service was great, our waitress continually checked in on us and even though it was closing time, she still asked if we wanted another bottle of wine. Due to the good experience with dinner, we decided to come back for the breakfast buffet which I highly recommend. The options were plentiful (eggs, reindeer, sausage, charcuterie, fruit, juices, breads -influding gluten free, you just have to ask for it, see pictures attached). It is $30 for one person for the buffet and it was worth it! I would come here all the time for breakfast. Note - you don't have to be staying at the hotel to do the breakfast.

Good Friendly Dining…read more Ole' school design. This may be typical of traditional Norwegian design, but it has the feel of an American steakhouse of the 1970s 80s. Not a bad thing just lots of dark wood and dark leather chairs. It's the kind of place where you can hear the sounds of cooking from the kitchen behind the bar and a little bell is rung when the food is ready. I ordered the steak Smorgasbord, which I now know is an open face meat sandwich. It was great. It was not too large but the perfect size for lunch and not wanting to get bogged down while walking the tourists sights. The steak was tender but properly cooked. Smothered in onions and gravy and accompanied by a small salad. Delicious and filling. A definite comfort food. The waiter/bartender was very helpful and super friendly. Fluidly switching between English Norwegian and German, that I heard. Seems to be a mix of locals and tourists. Dessert- an apple dish, see photos It too was tasty but not too heavy despite its large size. It was not overly sweet like you find in most American restaurants.

Menu is typically Norwegian with many fresh seafood, salads and lighter meals available. The building is very old and I think it was formerly the city hall for Oslo. Classy and upscale, the service is excellent and the chef, at times, walks through the dining area to chat with the customers. Good selection of beers and wines. Expensive, great ambiance but you pay for it. We did not know how famous this restaurant was and we were both in our tourist wandering about outfits, so at first wondered if we should be here, but once those beautifully presented dishes came through, we were glad that we had stumbled in. This restaurant deserves to be treated as a classy, first class, gourmet dining experience...as it is.

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.

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.

Our last night in Oslo and this was the perfect way to end the trip. Entering the restaurant, to a bright and open floor plan. There are 2 levels of dining and an outdoor patio open when the weather is nice. I loved our table location by a corner with light coming in all around us. Service was some of the best we've had anywhere in the world. Not only was our server working hard our entire dining experience (about 2 1/2 hours), but he checked on us frequently and made sure all dishes were served in a timely, yet spaced out fashion. Coming to a restaurant like this, we had to go with the 8 course meal to try everything. This is what they are most known for. It was exceptional. Every dish seems to get better and better. Each course was brought out by either our server or a food runner, explained in detail what was in it, where each ingredient was from (local farms, etc), and if applicable, how long the process to marinate or prepare it was. Instead of wine paring, we choose the elderberry beverage which is popular in this part of the world and actually paired fantastic with each an every dish. Some plates were served warm which was a nice touch. Something I wasn't expecting, but was perfect in keeping hot/warm foods at the right temperature. This was hands down one of the most memorable dining experience for overall quality, flavor variety, service and ambiance. Also, for an 8-course meal, this was affordable and most importantly satisfying! With a rotational, seasonal menu, this is a place to return to. A 5+ star experience which I highly recommend.
