I don't usually have the habit to go for the same on the menu each time, but the chickenburger here…read moreis amazingly good. The chicken is breed the old fashion way- Breath of fresh air, fresh oat, wheat and corn and this combination makes the meat so juicy and tender. The burger itself is boneless (they remove bones), coleslaw, bbq sauce and a good dressing on top of a amazingly good bun. The bun actually makes the whole difference. It's so moist and tasty when you let the burger sit for a minute(if you got the patience to wait), it just suck up all of the good dressing and bbq sauce and that combined with the juicy chicken just makes it even better. I tend to go for the burger whenever I'm down at the local football pub watching a game and I combine this meal with a Brooklyn Lager. Good taste combined. The service is also great. No mocking around. Quick and done. Since they started up their local shoppe at Mathallen, the price has risen from a comfortable 60NOK to 90NOK. I personally think that's a little steep but I can't resist it. It's worth it. They also got a good chicken sandwich, but I've never eaten it. (Never change a winning team) but I've heard it's also very good. It's not only burgers and sandwiches at Stangeriet, they also sell wings, thighs and whole chickens. It's definitely worth a try and a chicken for sunday supper is a winner.

We had an excellent experience here…read more We were searching for a great place to get cocktails and came across this joint on Google. The atmosphere is nice and we went to the bar. The bartender was great and since we were from out of the country, chatted with us and told us about some other great spots in Oslo as well as some history of the area. Then, we ordered off-menu and got an Aviation and a Sazerac, which the bartender whipped up for us. My Aviation had egg whites in it per my request and it was amazing. Both my husband and I agreed they were the best we've had anywhere so far - and we drink a lot of cocktails. I would recommend this place to anyone, but especially people who aren't from the area.

Yesterday I visited the restaurant Hvaskjer (Norwegian for approximately what is happening) thats…read morelocated in Torshov. First visit to this place and I really like it I can say you that much already now. So lets start with the exterior, it all looks like a cinema or a small venue for concerts which is also is and a bit luxurious in the put side. When you get in you get a hipster vibe, modern, good food, rustic and focus on meat. Very dark interior which I can have a hard time to like often but not this time because the make their concept to 110% without any compromises which I really like. The open kitchen where you can see how they make your food over the open wood fire just makes it great. And this place is a restaurant that really have focus on the meat and it's very obvious that it is that way. I had the burger of the day which probably is the most innovative burger I ever tasted anywhere in the world. I was well composed and with Asian taste influences and probably the best meat I've eaten in a burger, might be of all time or might be just in Norway. Not sure about that yet. If you like fires they are perfectly crispy and just perfect inside as well but I think they would be even better without the Parmesan cheese and the spices. But still top notch fries. If you like burgers or meat at think this is a must visit place. I will go here again just to try out the meat very soon I hope. However, I have nothing bad to say about this place and I really want to review it with top review but I just can't. I can not say what it s but there is something missing that I cant pinpoint so I will rank it with 4 out of 5 points as close to 5 points as it possible gets and I will more than recommend this place.

I ate at Kverneriet on a Tuesday in June. As they only opened their doors about a month ago, and…read morehave recently got rave reviews, we were not surprised to find a queue for tables. We waited for about 20 minutes, and the waiters seemed to be quite efficient in securing a rapid turnover. Both of the two waiters that tended to our table were very nice, professional and attentive - on opening a bottle of prosecco for us (we were celenrating ;), one of the waiters managed to spill a small piece of cork in the glass, but he promptly went to fetch another, and came back with a full glass. We chose the most popular burgers, the Boss and the Umami, along with fries, truffle fries, aioli and chili mayo. The burgers had enough different components to be interesting, but yet not so much that they could not be eaten the proper way (that is - with your hands, not using cutlery). The meat was grilled and succulent, and the flavours were very well combined. We were served ketchup, mustard and tarragon mayo on the side, so that each could adjust the amount of sauce to taste (I like a lot of sauce). If I had to criticise the burgers at all, I would say that I would prefer a slightly thicker patty that was a bit less well done. I also like fresh veg on my burger (which my burger did not have), but they have a variety with lettuce and tomato on the menu, so I could have chosrn that one. The fries, however, are beyond any criticism. They were perfectly crisp and fatty, well salted, sufficiently thick-cut, and served with your selection of sauce (which for us was aioli and chili mayo). The truffle fries had a subtle, but sufficient taste of truffle, and were sprinkled with fresh parsley. After the burgers and fries, we decided to share the two desserts on the menu along with a chocolate shake (they use Ben & Jerrys ice cream). The chocolate fudge cake with ice cream, candied walnuts and raspberry mousse definitely stole the show with its decadent intense chololatey flavour. The deconstructed berry crumble with lemon curd was good, but there was no taste of the advertised cardamom in the crumble, and it was simply not as exciting as the chocolate cake. We left feeling extremely full, but very happy and satisfied with our meal. I'm happy that Majorstuen has finally got its own "hip burger joint", and hope that Kverneriet stays for a long time!

Colonel Mustard, named after the one who did it in the kitchen (kinky), is a cool little restaurant and bar near Alexander Kiellands plass bus stop. When you walk inside, you feel like you are among friends. The walls and the chairs give off a warm feeling, and the clientele is very relaxed. One confusing thing is that there is a variety of seating styles for such a small space - bar stools, bar tables, tables with booths, tables with chairs, tables with couches, long lunch tables, and so on. My friend asked me where I wanted us to sit, and I was overwhelmed by the choices. Service was quick and attentive without being obtrusive. My friend and I ordered the burgers, but I am still not used to the Oslo concept of throwing a ton of toppings on a burger and then eating it with a knife and fork. The server was patient with my need to first translate the toppings one by one, and then eliminate the ones I didn't want. The final product was juicy and tasty. Oh, and this place isn't a beer garden, but it had more than two taps - which was awesome. I haven't had Guinness on tap in over a month, it was heavenly. There are four other non-canoe sex draft options as well. Prices are in the range that you would see in other similar places. If you like board games, there are tons of them around and people seemed to be playing happily. This is also a great place for good conversation and hanging out.

As well as doing a great array of craft beer this place is also a sort of restaurant that seems to do a lot of fish. The decor inside was like it was designed a bit like the inside of a ship which probably explains the fish connection. When we walked in the smell of Fish and chips was great (in my non allergic opinion) it it was though, bloody strong. Anyways we were just there for the craft beer and we were not disappointed. There was loads of Taps (10 plus) and load of bottles to. We had some great beers including an amazingly named "winter in Bangalore" IPA. The array of beers was top notch, the price as per the norm in Oslo was bonkers, but in general we had a great afternoon. The barmaid even let me charge my phone behind the bar, sadly though she would not change the awful music which loses it the 1 star. On on craft beer hunt? Check this place out. The food also smelled and looked good, but I did not try it so can't comment more than that.
