Lemongrass was our go to place the last few years for a "different" bite. The Caribbean kitchen is underrepresented in Norway, and this place is a welcome change. The food is good, and the service very friendly. If you're looking for an a-typical chicken dish, Caribbean lamb shank, Jamaican jerk chicken or fish-dish, this is the place to be. While the starters are very caribbean, I found the desserts not that original (creme brulee, chocolate fondant, etc). Minus points for the chairs: the backrest is located too far back, which gets uncomfortable after an hour or so, and also the paid wardrobe at the entrance. Shouldn't a wardrobe that be part of the service of the restaurant? It's not a disco. I'll hang my jacket over my chair, thank you. Also, the fact that they don't serve real banana-bread as a free aperitif any longer is a bummer. read more

The food was excellent (unlimited rice-mix-thingy too so you're guaranteed not to starve here) and they had very good service. Unfortunately the majority of the atmosphere is pretty lame for a "caribbean" themed restaurant and felt sort of lacking inspiration. Kind of like a big, open, hotel restaurant or something. They could have done better with that part. The back of the place does have a much better atmosphere but they weren't sitting anyone there while we there and I guess they wouldn't want to until the front part is full since that's all you see when you walk in. I definitely enjoyed the food, but the environment left it to be a less memorable occasion than it could have been. Still, I recommend it for the meal. read more

Really good food and good drinks. Stellar service all night for our group of ten people.

My husband and I dined at Lemongrass Restaurant last Sunday evening. We ate early as we were leaving for the airport. Our waitress was wonderful - attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu. We had the Three Course Menu I and Three Course Menu III and shared the items. The appetizers of Creole Bouillabaisse Soup and Caribbean Beef Carpaccio were delightful. The soup had chunks of seafood and was well-flavored with ginger and lemongrass. The carpaccio was dressed with a flavorful mango salsa. Our entrees of Nut Chicken and Palm Mignon were delicious - well-executed cooking of both meats with sauces that had flavor twists above and beyond routine Caribbean versions. The cinnamon sauce on the beef was particularly intriguing to our palates. Our desserts were heavenly - Mango Creme Brulee and Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream and Cinnamon. Again, perfectly executed with flavor twists that made them so interesting. A lovely evening. Highly recommended! read more
