It was a cold and dark night in Oslo - though that should come as no surprise. We had foolishly…read moreneglected to make a reservation, and were turned away by a number of bustling pubs and restaurants. Having almost given up and started back toward our hotel, we saw Ni&Tyve nestled up behind a small garden, a quaint and non-imposing house with a classy feel to it. We decided to give it a try.
The host was extremely welcoming and quickly found us a table despite a raft of reservations. The waitress who served us was equally friendly and helpful, happy to give us advice on wine to cover for our obvious obliviousness.
Apple smoked seabass, scallops, turbot, and a lovely and rich deer steak made a wonderful dinner for us both. We were able to take our time, enjoy the slightly odd decor, and were warmed by the friendly service. We'd be very happy to be back here if we ever find our way back up this far north again.
