We shared their signature plate, the pork knuckle and it was delicious! I'm glad we shared it though cause it was a ton of food. The meat was tender and the skin was extra crispy. It's served with a delicious mustard sauce that goes well with the pork. It sits on a bed of mashed potatoes and sautéed veggies (cabbage, green beans and carrots). The beer selection is massive so it's also great for beer lovers. I would highly recommend this place to locals and tourists alike!

I actually wanted something 'lighter' but I asked for his recommendation, and of course he said the signature item that they are "famous" for. I also paired it with some whale, because I like eating protected and endangered species. The whale was the best part. Tastes like those cute little puffins, vaguely like a tender beef jerky. As for the caveman chunk of pork on a bone. Woof. I mean, it's good. The crackling is like pork rinds on steroids and the meat really did fall off the bone. The mustard sauce and the mashed potatoes were loaded with fat. However, the staff friendly and attentive. I love my meats, but this did not blow my mind. Would not go out of my way to come here, and I think the overall ratings are a bit generous.

We were given food menus but no wine list or drink menus. 20 frustrating minutes later the waiter came back for the first time and we asked for drink menus. Unfortunately, it didn't seem like the waiters were trained in the wine menu, as just stating what we wanted was not enough - we had to point to the wines in the menu. We ordered a French white wine but they gave us a New Zealand white, which they had already opened at the bar without showing us the label - it was put in an ice bucket an poured. First rule of serving wine: show the label to the customer before opening the bottle so they know they actually got what they ordered. The food was good, I can recommend the fish main and the duck salad starter. The starter portion was a little large, but good value for your money. This is the only redeeming quality of the place. We also sat for almost an hour after finishing our meal, before we had to go to the bar to ask them to send someone to our table so we could pay the check. Again, absolutely inattentive wait staff. All in all, if you want some ok food I recommend this place, but do not expect good service or to get a feeling of being in a restaurant. This place should stick to letting customers order at the bar when they can't offer more with table side service. It's sadly no less than expected from a "restaurant" in a small town.

Being restaurant people, they wanted to open the kind of restaurant that they would want to go to. We started downstairs which will be the wine bar area.

We then went upstairs to the restaurant and noticed that the ceramic dishware. So cool! The food was amazing and very well presented. The fish and potatoes were a special highlight, but the entire meal was spectacular and definitely one of the best I had. I highly recommend a visit to this new restaurant in Oslo for an innovative and thoughtful food experience.

I enjoyed my time here. Elias Mat & Sant is located in the sentrum, Oslo's city center, so is walking distance to many sites and attractions. I visited here after walking from the palace along Karl Johans Gate as the restaurant is located off this main drag. Make reservations here for the restaurant is small and intimate. It was time to try reindeer while in the Nordic region of the world, so here I did. I ordered the reindeer stew, which was delicious. The reindeer stew was similar to a beef stew, but the reindeer is leaner, so didn't taste as heavy, which is a good thing. Over some mashed potatoes with a gravy and herbs and a side of lingonberry, it completed the meal. It also came with a side of complimentary bread, which is not always the case at other restaurants. That was a nice bonus though because the bread helped soaked up the stew. Perfection!
