Such great efforts in helping with ordering and giving a bit of history on the restaurant. The family owned restaurant has been in service helping the local culinary students. Loved the chance to sit and enjoy the hard to choose from tapas, everything we ordered was delicious. The decor is perfectly arranged with old photos of bullfighting days and candlelight's in the window. I highly recommend visiting Oslo, Norway making a pitstop to try La Sangria.

I sat outside on the awninged-in terrace on a beautiful late-summer night for a late dinner here…read more I was dying for some good wine, so I Yelped for "wine bar" and this place came up near me, so I headed straight over. The service, in fluent English, was friendly and attentive, and my meat lasagna (the daily special) was very tasty, creamy, and amply-proportioned. This restaurant seems much more Italian to me [menu titles in Italian too] than the "tapas bar" designation here, and I must say that I was greatly disappointed at the "vinbar" part of the restaurant's name. While they definitely serve wine, by the glass and the bottle, the selection is definitely not better than any ordinary restaurant, and there are not any particularly intriguing or unique bottles on offer - the list skews mostly Italian, but with several Spanish and French selections too. For sparklers, they had Prosecco, Cava, and Champagne; Italian reds included Chianti, Amarone, Barbera, Cabernet, Valpolicella, and whites a Pinot Grigio and a Soave, and some selections from other countries. It was quite surprising to me for a wine bar to serve wines without any mention of the vintages, too. That's a big no-no in my book. The glass of Chianti was 109NOK and the lasagna 149NOK, for a total of about $32.50USD. If you're looking for a decent, warm meal, Eger delivers. But if very good wine is important to you, you will be disappointed, as I was.

Went in here after walking around for a while, looking for a place for dinner. Had a chicken salad…read morewith penne, mozzarella, etc. The combo was really good..definitely hit the spot for me. Only problem was the chicken...seems it had been over cooked and/or microwaved to death. I didn't send it back because I was starving. When the server asked how things were when I was about 2/3 of the way finished, I told her about the chicken. She said she could have taken it back before, could take it back now, etc., but I said no....it was my fault...I didn't let them know. Anyway...what gives them a plus in my book....is that the server took 30% off the bill. Me, an American who would probably never be there again. High rating for the overall taste of the dish (minus the chicken) and doing the right thing. I willl probably be back before I leave Oslo.

Also the vinyls are a key player here.

Great spot..happy place with lots of smiles. Enjoy

We tried the boquerones and the Argentinean shrimp. As another reviewer noted, the way they reheat items leaves them cold in the middle and soggy on the bottom. This was quite noticeable with the boquerones. The shrimp was better, but for the price (nearly $10 CDN) we got 2.25 shrimps, kind of a rip off. The olives were nothing special, same style as we get at home in a jar stuffed with pimento, and about as good, for $7 CDN. I noticed better looking olives on offer elsewhere in Mathallen. Service was pretty good and the seating was comfortable. Just wish the food was better!

This place has incredible food. I did not expect this level of cuisine in Oslo…read more Every pintxo I had was intelligently composed with fresh ingredients. The duck confit was so tender and just salty enough. The shrimps were perfectly executed. The were plump and juicy, with still a firmness on the bite. They were shrouded with garlic magic and other spices. The foie gras was crisp on the outside and messy on the inside, my perfect way to eat it. I did find the pepper to be a slightly odd choice for this one, but it was still delicious.

However, by 2pm, all the restaurant was full, confirming it's reputation as a hugely popular place. We ordered 5 tapas dishes, which were all apcked with flavour and freshly prepared. I had expected the level of the food to be somewhat below the tapas restauarnts in Palma, Mallorca, which I visited recently and was much impressed with, but Delicatessen really surprised me with dishes just as good, if not even better than what I have tasted in Spain. My favourite dish was the fried artichoke hearts with saffron orange aioli - I would come back just for this one dish. The homemade sausages with lemony quinoa were also excellent, and the chorizo and manchego tortilla was the fluffiest omelette I have ever eaten. The croquetas (not really a dish, but a snack of two small pieces with dipping sauce) were also superb. The meatballs in tomato sauce was the least exciting dish, but still good. Delicatessen is, not surprisingly given it's location, a fairly expensive place, but you still get your money's worth of good food prepared from quality ingredients - I would definitely like to come back.

A little confusing, but menus in different languages were by one entrance closest to the bar, so you can look it over. Then you find a table. Remember the table number. If a wait person comes by, you can get a menu and order. Otherwise, go to the bar area, make your selection and give them your table number. It does get delivered. Very popular and can get really crowded. Interior could use a good scrub-down, esp the floors. Hip, hippy atmosphere. Seems like more of a tapas place than a restaurant, although there were families there enjoying the food and drink. Very extensive menu, so everyone will be satisfied.
