Just look at the stunning and juicy rib-eye steak photo I uploaded, it doesn't get better than this! Wonderful seasoning and you could cut through it like it was butter. If meat isn't your thing, be sure to try the fish! It's also wonderful. The ambiance of the place is surprisingly cozy despite it also being a bar. They have outdoor serving in the summer as well.

The menu is in Norwegian (sorry no English version guys) and I was lucky enough to be there with friends who speak Norwegian so they explained everything to me. Even I have to randomly pick something on the menu, I strongly believe it will be delicious anyway. The service was excellent so I'm pretty sure your server would be able to explain the menu for you if you don't understand Norwegian. We ordered a couple of appetizer and they were very good. I tried a chicken dish and a burger my friends ordered (pls don't ask me the name coz I can't even pronoun it) and they were very tasty too. Overall I highly recommended this place when you're in Jessheim.

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. Bacchus has been a staple for me when come to Oslo for work but as long as she is "greeting" guests, I'll take my money elsewhere.

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!

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.

Is charcuterie supposed to be so soft it melts in your mouth? Is the Araka-taco one of the best tacos you've ever had in your life? Yes and yes. Now, this was not a cheap dinner, despite ordering from the snack menu, but well worth it. No other restaurant during our two trips to Oslo has yet to compare. Make a reservation and enjoy.

If you find yourself in Oslo and want a dining experience that evokes something uniquely Norwegian,…read moreat least without having to spend an arm, a leg and any other appendage, well, you're in luck. This is an ideal outdoor spot on a balmy evening since it's in the pedestrian plaza right next to the central train station. After spending the day looking at naked statues, appreciating Nobel peace prizes, and walking on the opera house rooftop, Jamie W. and I were tuckered out and didn't want to venture too far from our hotel. We just walked across the street and found a table quite easily here even though it was obviously quite popular with young Oslolites (...is that what they're called?). We were pretty famished since it was a long time since the complimentary breakfast buffet at the hotel. First up were the 79 NOK ($7.90 US) plate of Truffle Fries topped with grated parmesan with a side of truffle mayonnaise (photo: https://bit.ly/3CX84vq). Less Norwegian, more TGIFriday's but satisfying nonetheless. More Norwegian was the 149 NOK ($15 US) Norwegian Red Beetroot. It was served with horseradish cream, pickled onions, and Jerusalem artichoke crisps (photo: https://bit.ly/3R9zSBb). It was just four bites but tasty and earthy in a different way. We moved on to the entrees from there and split two between us. First was the 219 NOK ($22 US) Chicken Salad where they marinated chicken breast in mustard and grilled it. It topped a bed of mixed greens, buckwheat, tomatoes, and radish, all of it drizzled with tarragon mayonnaise (photo: https://bit.ly/3RyNVQr). The mustard and buckwheat added a Norwegian dimension to an American standard. Then came the heartier 259 NOK ($26 US) Steak Sandwich which appeared to center around a tender grilled flank steak with the same accompaniments as the beetroot - horseradish cream, pickled onions, and Jerusalem artichoke crisps (photo: https://bit.ly/3qagzMf), We saved room for dessert, the 149 NOK ($15 US) White Chocolate Sphere which became a table performance with a tiny pitcher of hot raspberry coulis poured over the white chocolate and raspberry cream (photo: https://bit.ly/3qfPTcM). A bit showy but a nice finish. It made us feel like upscale Norwegians dining al fresco.

The lunch menu is sparse and minimalistic, which is how I like my apartment. If you're not much of a meat eater you're out of luck. We ordered the deep fried egg on asapragus with lardon and cheese sauce. The asparagus was of the fibrous variety, when it could have been succulent and flavorful. The lardon was a piece of connective tissue better suited as floss. The egg was cool looking, but the delicate flavor was unfortunately lost by the overpowering spice crust. The cheese sauce was good enough. I love conceptual dishes and if they consist of 4 ingredients they better be stellar. Because if two or three is off you shine less than you suck. When running a concept based restaurant you run the risk of seeming contrived if you can't serve up four good ingredients that complement each other. The weak brown beverage resembling coffee, to their defense was on par with other Norwegian "coffee".

The staff were kind and courteous and inviting , and though they spoke English(like most do) they helped me practice my poor Norwegian when I told them I wished to practice. The Fiskesuppe is flavorful and generous! It has great consistency--neither too dense or thin. My wife ordered a grilled fish that was also wonderful. The menu is straightforward.

Came with small prawns in a thousand Island style sauce. Just bad. The herring: somehow this was sweet. We couldn't bear to finish it. The raw yolk made it just tolerable. The liver pate. This was toasted. In fact grilled & tasted more like blood sausage. Was ok. Just ok. The duck. Just awful! Dry, rubbery. Not a single redeeming feature to this dish. All dishes were served with pan fried mushrooms and tinned/pickled chopped beetroot, gherkins, sun dried tomatoes, artichokes & olives all from a jar came with the duck. Even the bread & salad were bland. The elk burger is no more. In short AVOID this place unless everything else is shut and you are prepared to spend KOR180 on a bad dish of food!

We sat outside but in the winter the interior, full of mellow candlelight and awesome kitch in the walls (including a walk full of antique guns and swords) would do a lot to keep out the cold and make one feel warm and blissful.
