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 liked this place a lot. Usually, I'm usually not such a fan of restaurants in this area, as the…read moreservice tend to be sucky, but with Escalóns entry, I might have to reconsider. The service was very good and our waiter both friendly and quick to keep those beer glasses filled, which we like. We were served some of the best tapas I have tasted in a long time, completely void of oily sausages and over spiced meat balls. Our mixture of scallops, hare, fish, veil and mussels were prepared to tasty perfection, without leaving us with that classical "oil and sause everywhere" feeling that tend to follow the tapas experience, at least here in Norway. I almost felt like I was eating healthy, and I mean that in the best possible way, not the "carrot and dry celery" kind of way. We visited on a Thuesday, so the place weren't busy and the atmosphere was very quiet. Still, we liked the interior, and the layout of the tables made us feel quite secluded from other parties, which is a good thing when you're a Norwegian and prefer to mingle only with the people that you came with. With Escalón, I might just have found my favorite tapas place in Oslo.

We needed a quick bite to eat and we were thinking bar, snacks, and small plates. The restaurant had a really nice modern and slightly upscale vibe . It was nice and cozy. The service was really good too with the waitress explaining the menu to us since it was a new tasting menu they were trying . I got a local beer and we tried the miso, glazed eggplant with non-bread and the lobster roll . Both items were extremely delicious and surprisingly filling for being small plates style . From what I've read, they have live entertainment and music upstairs on certain nights, but we came on a quiet evening. If you're looking for late night bar snacks and a nice chill atmosphere this is definitely a place to go !

Wanted to check this place out since it was close to my hotel. It seems like a fun place to check…read moreout, but it was not what I expected. Service: There is one host/hostess. There is no waiter for your table, and everything is do it yourself setup. You have to download an app to order your food and wait for a confirmation code to come to your phone. If you are from another country, the confirmation code may not work. Once you order from the menu, you have to pick up your own drink and food. Once you get the app working, you will get a notification to when your drink and food is ready to pick up from the designated areas. Ambiance: The atmosphere of the restaurant is very cool but unfortunately it is very tight with the tables being so close together and not very big inside. Some areas seem very old and may need some additional cleaning. I do not like restaurants that use carpet as their main dining area. In addition, the majority of the sitting areas are high bar tables. I would say as well, even with the nice crowd of people, it was not very loud inside. Food: If you are looking for a fulling menu, this is not what this place is set up for. This place is set up as more of a finger food type of place that has orders placed on a wood plank, and again, you have to go pick it up from the kitchen yourself. Several items of food needed a bunch of seasoning. The only thing that was good was the drinks and the chicken wings. I would pass on everything I had. There are some vegan options, but even those need some additional seasoning as well. Overall: If you are looking for someone where to have a great conversation or just hang out, I would recommend this place. However, if you are in the mood for a fulfilling meal, this is not the place for you. Unfortunately, I can't highly recommend this place.

This one seems to specialise in Asian fusion dishes, but on Sunday's they also do pho which is what we decided to go for. It was pretty rammed but there was two tables outside (but inside the food hall) the restaurant and we happily grabbed one of those. I can't comment on the tapas, but the pho was great. A really tasty broth, perfect chilli level, nice noodles and loads of beef. Seemed authentic to me as it tasted like the pho I had in Hanoi so I was very happy. I went with the large portion and it was a really good size, but Trudie M's small portion looked pretty decent to. Anywhere else in Europe this would be five stars, but I can't do it cause of the price. Bowl of pho is about £14-£15 and a beer was about 8 quid. That's also going with a cheap Kirin beer rather than picking out the Norwegian craft beer that I wanted that was around 11 quid. Good pho, worth checking out if your nearby on a Sunday. As always with Oslo, bring plenty of cash!
