I must say, I know nothing about Peruvian food, but Piscoteket is a good introduction. My colleagues and I were recommended to try out the food here. We had a six course meal that consisted of three cold dishes and three hot dishes. I am not going to go into detail about every dish, but only the highlights. The cold dish that stood out was definitely the ceviche. Fish was very good quality and the fresh lime and corriander flavors were delicious! I was surprised to see an Asian flavor in their method of cooking. Their wok dishes I was intitially suspicious of, but was pleasantly surprised. The flavor of the wok was definitely present and caught me off guard. Many of the Asian joints are missing this essential flavor and it was ironic that it was present in a South American joint?! The flavors were well balanced and very tasty. I enjoyed the beef stirfry with banana. Sweet and savory and medium rare beef was very good. Overall I was satisfied and Piscoteket is on my list to visit once again! read more

Piscoteket - The only pic I managed to take was the best dish by far. The Ceviche of the Day! - Peruvian Near Me - Oslo, 03

I don't understand why people have reviewed this with 3 or less stars. In my opinion it's an excellent restaurant with a good atmosphere and service. I was there on a regular weekday and seems like it is a very popular place. It became full around 7-8 and there were people with different nationalities. There are several seating groups with high and low tables to chose from and as said the service was fast and attentive. The music was good, mostly old tracks playing in the background bringing you to a good mood. The lighting was quite dimmed making a cosy atmosphere. The food was excellent. We tried many different dishes as we had a sharing table. My absolute favourites were the entries that were cold dishes and mostly raw fish. Amazing! Must try is the ceviche! We had also several warm dishes that were also very tasty but didn't impress me as much as the entries. The cocktails were interesting. Most of the were good and my favourite was the cilantro daiquiri. Be careful to avoid the cocktails that write underneath: boozy. They are really boozy and I that love cocktails to be strong couldn't even drink one of them. Pisco sour and pisco picante were also good. read more

Firstly I must mention to you that my friends and I, we like trying new cuisines & flavours. We decided to go to this restaurant Piscoteket as we wanted to eat traditional Peruvian cuisine. So we stopped by Piscoteket to book a table for two for the next up coming weekend. We reached the place at about 19:00 and as we have made a reservation in advance we had no worries on waiting for free table. When we got to the restaurant we stood by the door waiting for the waiter to acknowledge us but they did not. Two minuets have passed a couple stood beside us, the guy in bar/bartender looked at them and lead them to their table as we stood there. So we make our way to the bar, talked to girl who booked our table. She was busy texting in her iPhone and didn't notice us until one of us had to say Hi. She then looked up and we told her we had a reservation at 7:00 pm. She looked for our name on the paper but couldn't find us. She told us we could either sit on the or get a table until 8 pm the clock was already nearly 7:20. How is that even possible when the food itself takes time to cook and we we're suppose to get drink and catch up before the concert starts, not eat in a rush and leave. And she just stood there looking at her iPhone, again. It was really unprofessional. I felt like we we're not taking seriously just because we looked like a "kid" I mean that's what we felt. She didn't even bother making it up for us we so literally just stood there staring at each other. So we ended up leaving. The service was absolutely disappointing. In a few words...you should better try Munchies on the main road...opposite the restaurant. That bad!! read more

Wonderful food! We started with Pulpo al Olivo and Ceviche punta al. Both great - the Pulpo al Olivo was so good we had to order a second one. Then we had the Lomo Saltado for our main. We let the waitress pick the wine, and she did a very good job. The drinks are amazing - they use top quality ingredients. The service was also really good. We never waited for anything, and never felt crowded. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. All in all, one of the best places I've been to in Oslo. read more
