Its a mini Yelp travesty that I am only the second person to review this amazing little cafe /…read morerestaurant. Its places like this that should be feeling the love of the Yelp community. Adriatic Cafe+ is unique, independent and outstanding value. Just the way I like it :) Adriatic make fantastic Balkan food, that alone should hopefully get your attention as I cannot think of many cities in Europe where you can experience this amazing type of food. Its kind of a cross between Turkish / Greek and everything good in between. We stopped by for lunch having visited Oslo over a long weekend and I wish we had discovered this place sooner. They didn't have an English menu and not being familiar with Balkan food we struggled to pick out many dishes. Fortunately, the staff were really helpful and translated a number of things for us. We order the delightful feta burek, which is almost like a British style flaky pastry pie, the Cevapi, which are like mini beef sausage kebabs inside a fresh, hot pide style flat bread, chicken kebab and a shopska salad. When the food arrived we were instantly taken aback by the size of the portions and the quality of the food. Everything was so delicious and fresh and to make matters even better, it was the cheapest place by far that we had found in Oslo. I also discovered a new food in the form of Kajmak which was an accompaniment to the Cevapi. Its kind of like a soft, Philadelphia type cheese, but lighter and much more flavoursome. Anyway, it complemented the meat wonderfully and I just couldn't get enough of it. This restaurant is a perfect spot for a nice lunch or cheap dinner. It definitely needs your attention, so go check it out!

Quite simply amazing on all fronts! How this place has so few reviews is complete madness.

Where to start!?! The friendliest waitress that we were served by across our whole trip. Keen to help, chatty, efficient and explained the menu to us. Decor of the place was nice, open and bright. It is selling Balkan dishes and goes for a costal type feel with wooden ornaments dotted about the place. Now the two most important bits. The food is really really cheap for Norway and would even be considered good value on the UK. If your in Oslo and your sick of the high prices, get yourself along here and treat yourself at bargain pricing. The food itself was really really tasty. Great kebabs in lovely flat bread, amazing cheese & tomato salad and beautiful local pie style dishes. (All the actual dish names we had are on Rocco G's review if you want to check them out) I love this place and would go regularly if it was in Glasgow. If your a Oslo local you need to start giving it some love. If your a tourist you should check it out for lunch or dinner. You will not be disappointed.

We decided to go with the Chef's Menu- one order for the two of us as the portions are sizable. We started with whale. It was soft and smoky. I didn't care too much for it. For the main, you can choose between the grilled pork knuckle or pork neck. Of course we went with the former. The skin was satisfyingly crunchy and the meat was mostly tender. It is also accompanied by mashed potatoes and much needed vegetables. Lastly, dessert was a white chocolate mousse with espresso and bacon. I could've went without the bacon, but I guess they needed to add pig to it as the restaurant is called "The Happy Pig." We ourselves left happy and stuffed.

The restaurant also has a fish shop attached. I ordered creamy fish soup as it's a traditional Norwegian staple. It had mussels and vegetables and came with bread and aioli. I enjoyed it overall, but found some sand at the bottom of the soup possibly from the leek. I also shared the raw platter - 3 Fine oysters, 3 Boudeuse oysters, ceviche, löjrom snack, and salmon tartar. The löjrom snack (salted chips, löjrom roe, sour cream, shallots, chives) was the favorite. Everything was fresh and tasty, but it was also an expensive lunch.

We came for…read morean early dinner around 4:15P on a Saturday and the restaurant was already mostly full inside. The setup includes tall tables, booths, a few seats at the bar and several patio tables outside, though it was unfortunately raining during our visit. The host initially seated the four of us at the bar, which was tight, but at least it had a nice view into the kitchen! Once a booth opened up, he offered to move us and we were much more comfortable. The most popular menu item here is the fish and chips, but our waiter said he loves the cod croquettes and that was all it took to convince me since you don't see those on just any menu. + COD CROQUETTES: Five crispy golden croquettes were fried to perfection with a rich creamy cod filling. They were served atop a bold red pepper purée, drizzled with a savory aioli and finished with shredded cheese. The red pepper sauce added a fantastic warmth that really elevated the dish, and the portion size was just right. + CUCUMBER SALAD: A large portion of sliced cucumbers (and another crunchy veggie I couldn't identify) was tossed in a sesame oil dressing. This was so refreshing and crisp, cutting through the richness of the croquettes. We easily split it between the four of us. The only other veggie option was green salad. My sister got the ceviche, which is a lighter entrée. She liked the fish, but said it was extremely citrusy, more than she expected. There were also some tough corn-like pieces which she put to the side since they were too difficult to chew. Service throughout our meal was warm and attentive; our waiter regularly checked on us and even brought an extra bottle of water when he noticed ours running low. Overall, I loved my croquettes, the salad was delicious, and the staff's hospitality made this a memorable final dinner in Oslo!

Our waiter was ever present until our food arrived, then he disappeared. The fish soup, yes I recommend this. Absolutely delicious. Everything else was subpar. My friend ordered the king crab and it was not even edible. I think it was overcooked. It was a watery mess. My grilled salmon was also overcooked. Burnt and hard in spots. Loved the ambiance as we sat outside during a beautiful summer evening. But don't be fooled by the hype. Overpriced and poor quality food. I gave it a 2 star because of the fish soup. Would not recommend!
