    Drinks here before our train. Delicious Norwegian ginger beer and a Norse fruit gose for my SO. Lovely place.

    They sell old beer, and then argue about it. The beer was 10m old, and tasted bad.

    We had a great waitress, and the food was good. We were a party of 6, and got food and beer served in a timely manner. But, they sell beer that's gone bad - and then the other water argued about it too. We ordered two Sierra Nevada Torpedo. The beers had two different labels, one printed with the European "Best before" date, and one with the label from back in the US that shows the date it's bottled. The best before had expired in September - this was in December. The second bottled was packaged in February. Hoppy beer has a shelf life of 3-6 months, and we are now in month 10. It was no surprise that the beers tasted bad. The waitress was polite and helpful, she apologized, offered us new beers and wouldn't charge for the old ones. But then a rude waiter showed up, and started arguing. He claimed the date on the second bottle was in format DD/MM/YY, and not old. 1: Don't argue with a customer 2: The beer tasted bad 3: Sierra Nevada use MM/DD/YY on their beer labels. Imported beer sometimes get another stamp, as the second bottle we had. This one had an original label. I know this, I have had plenty of fresh Torpedos before.

    For my first night out in Oslo, I decided it best to not wander too far from my hotel. Royal Gastropub is located inside the Oslo Central train station. Many say it's a tourist trap, but I'm a tourist so... I guess I'm okay with that lol. What caught my eye were the cool fireplaces burning in the middle of the tables. Overall it had a very hip and trendy vibe. Great for friend gatherings or a quick beer after work. Speaking of beer, I had no idea how to order this, so I just told the bartender I liked something light and she recommended a good wheat beer for me. For food, I got the Royal burger, which had mushrooms, grilled onions, lettuce, and tomato. Initially wanted cheese too, but after the first bite, I knew I wouldn't miss it. The burger was cooked perfectly with the juice overflowing all over my hands. My mom got the fish and chips. Europe's fish and chips are 1000000x better than any in America. The fried batter is extra crispy and flavorful, while the fish is still flaky, moist, and delicate. Prices were reasonable (at least comparable to American establishments) for great pub food, service, and atmosphere.

    Read some bad things on yelp about this place being very expensive and the staff being rude so wasn't expecting much but went along earlier for some food as it's very close to the hotel. Ordered two burgers and beers which cost about 538NOK (€50) which is pretty pricey alright but the food was delicious. The staff were very helpful and the vibe was cool. Don't think we'll go back as we wanna try lots of places while we're here but definitely worth dropping in!

    Any food stand with a bubbling pan of meat is promising, and Stangeriet delivered. The sandwich we…read moreordered was humongous, with meat practically bursting out of the seams. The meat was flavorful and juicy.

    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.

    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.

Only minor complaint is the abundance of these stiff white collared "culturally-friendly" places, overrun with flippers, mediocre menu (burgers) and expensive beers.

    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.
