We found this restaurant on Yelp as one of the closest informal ones that was high rated near our hotel. We sat outside and found the service, food, and ambience were all great.

I admit, I missed the sign by the door that said "please wait to be seated" and I proceeded another 4 feet when I stopped and asked her if I should wait to be seated. I have never been chastised like this in a restaurant for a simple mistake like this. I should have turned and walked out after the way she scolded and chastised me for not reading the sign but I was in a bit of shock.

My friend had the pulled pork sandwich. It was a very generous serving of such a delicious sandwich. The pork was lightly marinated and it was served on toasted bread. The coleslaw was also very well made. The atmosphere of the restaurant made me feel like I was transported back in time eating in a medieval building. The waiters were attentive and friendly. If you must have one meal in Oslo, this is it!

Its a mini Yelp travesty that I am only the second person to review this amazing little cafe /…read morerestaurant. Its places like this that should be feeling the love of the Yelp community. Adriatic Cafe+ is unique, independent and outstanding value. Just the way I like it :) Adriatic make fantastic Balkan food, that alone should hopefully get your attention as I cannot think of many cities in Europe where you can experience this amazing type of food. Its kind of a cross between Turkish / Greek and everything good in between. We stopped by for lunch having visited Oslo over a long weekend and I wish we had discovered this place sooner. They didn't have an English menu and not being familiar with Balkan food we struggled to pick out many dishes. Fortunately, the staff were really helpful and translated a number of things for us. We order the delightful feta burek, which is almost like a British style flaky pastry pie, the Cevapi, which are like mini beef sausage kebabs inside a fresh, hot pide style flat bread, chicken kebab and a shopska salad. When the food arrived we were instantly taken aback by the size of the portions and the quality of the food. Everything was so delicious and fresh and to make matters even better, it was the cheapest place by far that we had found in Oslo. I also discovered a new food in the form of Kajmak which was an accompaniment to the Cevapi. Its kind of like a soft, Philadelphia type cheese, but lighter and much more flavoursome. Anyway, it complemented the meat wonderfully and I just couldn't get enough of it. This restaurant is a perfect spot for a nice lunch or cheap dinner. It definitely needs your attention, so go check it out!

We ate…read morein several places in Oslo and this was without doubt my favourite by a long way..........AND.......... That's even including the fact that they don't have a license to sell alcohol! Where to start!?! The friendliest waitress that we were served by across our whole trip. Keen to help, chatty, efficient and explained the menu to us. Decor of the place was nice, open and bright. It is selling Balkan dishes and goes for a costal type feel with wooden ornaments dotted about the place. Now the two most important bits. The food is really really cheap for Norway and would even be considered good value on the UK. If your in Oslo and your sick of the high prices, get yourself along here and treat yourself at bargain pricing. The food itself was really really tasty. Great kebabs in lovely flat bread, amazing cheese & tomato salad and beautiful local pie style dishes. (All the actual dish names we had are on Rocco G's review if you want to check them out) I love this place and would go regularly if it was in Glasgow. If your a Oslo local you need to start giving it some love. If your a tourist you should check it out for lunch or dinner. You will not be disappointed.

I love their tasting menu which was the Raw marinated halibut, tomato & chili, Celeriac, dried heart & dulse, Scallop, sunchoke & elderflower, Today's fish, mussels & leek, Duck from Holte, kale & beetroot, Sea buckthorn, pumpkin & brown cheese and all of it balanced nicely. All of that for roughly 90 USD you can't complain at all! Service was good, and knowledgeable which was great, would come back here again next time back in Oslo.

I split the bruschetta with my friend and boy was it delicious - the tomatoes tasted extremely fresh and the crunch of the toast was amazing. I opted for the risotto and it definitely was one of the better ones I've tasted. There was a ton of flavor packed into the broth and it was creamy enough, but not too overwhelming. I would just say that the there just was a bit too much cheese for me, but it did not deduct from the overall experience. The service was exceptional and quick, totally would recommend!

Noise levels were on the lower end. Their outdoor seating had heat lamps at every table, so it was fairly comfortable to sit outside even on a relatively colder day in Oslo.
