Stopped here because our AirBnB was right next door. It was really great. Ordered a flight of…read morebeers, not expecting it to be pints! Also, had the Bangers and Mash, and it was delicious. Highly recommend!

So if your after craft beer this is definitely one of the places up go in Oslo. If your allergic to…read morefish then it probably ain't! Let me explain... As well as doing a great array of craft beer this place is also a sort of restaurant that seems to do a lot of fish. The decor inside was like it was designed a bit like the inside of a ship which probably explains the fish connection. When we walked in the smell of Fish and chips was great (in my non allergic opinion) it it was though, bloody strong. Anyways we were just there for the craft beer and we were not disappointed. There was loads of Taps (10 plus) and load of bottles to. We had some great beers including an amazingly named "winter in Bangalore" IPA. The array of beers was top notch, the price as per the norm in Oslo was bonkers, but in general we had a great afternoon. The barmaid even let me charge my phone behind the bar, sadly though she would not change the awful music which loses it the 1 star. On on craft beer hunt? Check this place out. The food also smelled and looked good, but I did not try it so can't comment more than that.

What a treat to enjoy tasty brews tucked in a cool bricked gothic cellar. Pretty awesome atmosphere…read moreand architecture made the beers taste even better. Its located in the courtyard area. Not facing any surface streets. I really enjoyed the mead from Lithuania. A new flavor and level of happiness discovered.

We stopped here based upon TripAdvisor reviews. What a very cool place-awesome brickwork and a…read morequiet, lowly lit room where you can actually talk with your friend while sipping good beer and mead. The owner is very friendly and helpful; he recommended a good restaurant nearby for our dinner. It's a little tricky to find the doorway in, but persevere-it's very worth it!

Hands down, my absolute favorite grocery store in Oslo…read more I shouldn't even get started about my disgusting grocery store history in Norway. I really should write a book about it (because I have photo evidence obviously). But let's just say I had lost ALL hope prior to finding this gem. I usually do my shopping in Grønland, but let's not kid ourselves, it is difficult to get there sometimes and while you may buy all of your produce there, you still need the essentials that can only be found at the grocery store. This is where Centra came in for me. Except I realized that I could get good quality of produce here too. Granted, you pay a premium, but it's worth it after seeing one too many moldy clementines at Rema 1000 or Kiwi (yes, the place with the produce guarantee). Out of all places in Oslo, I firmly believe that Centra has the most American products of all of the places. Granted, most of what I eat can't be classified as one country or another, but I do know that if I need something American-ish...if it's not at Centra, it's probably not anywhere else either. And this includes their sister store, Jacob's. But while I can sit here and rave and rave about the selection options and quality, it would be remiss of me to not share what my favorite thing about the store is. THE SERVICE. This is the place I can always count on getting looked after and the help I need. If I am roaming around the dairy section and can't find what I need...someone is generally within close proximity and can assist. (special note: their dairy section stinks....someone needs to take care of that if you're reading this!) And the people at the checkout counters always have a smile on their face and seem genuinely happy to be there. I even commended one of them the other day and thanked him for sounding so happy and excited to help us out. He was really thrilled to hear that he was able to change the experience of someone shopping there. I wish the workers and staff at this place would give a coaching session to the other stores in the area. Good customer service is something I definitely took for granted in the USA...and something I NEVER do here because it's a rare find. But when I do find it, I'm a customer for life. Keep up the good work Centra! You will continue to be the only place I routinely shop!

The best high-end supermarket in town, entering this store feels like entering Disneyland. Wait, I…read moreactually like this supermarket better than Disneyland. It is Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, but in addition to chocolates, you have a beautiful array of fine cheese, gorgeous racks of exotic fruits, a shopful of smoked meats and a fishmonger with mussels, scallops and rare shellfish. As pièce de résistance, they have a drying rack for exquisitely aged beef of which I am unworthy. Besides the gourmet stuff, the selections here are like standard supermarkets multiplied by three, making you wonder what you have been missing in your Oslo supermarket life. There are some standard brands like Tine, but with products you don't see elsewhere. However! The price is very steep! I cannot afford going there too often. Every time I walk near Ultra, it calls to me like a siren - with a heavy sigh and great will, I turn away and buy uninspiring veggies and rock-hard avocados at a nearby Rema instead. Be warned shall ye enter, ye shall not resist buying, and paying dearly!

I was taken here for dinner by a colleague who lives in the area and it was really nice. It's a…read moresmall shop with a small kitchen and room for about 10 people for meals. Please call ahead as otherwise your chances are small due to the size of the place. They have a cheese and deli which I assume is open during the day and a small menu for the evening meals. We were greeted by a very friendly waitress and were seated upon arrival. The menu was on a blackboard and consisted of what looked like classic french dishes. We shared a small charcuterie board and I had moules frite. Mussels in a Roquefort sauce. The mussels were excellent and the fries were also plentiful and really nice. The cold cuts were also of good quality. They have a small wine list and I chose a red which was from France and really nice. The lemon pannacotta for dessert with a Parmesan crumble was delicious and I loved it. Although the menu is small it was a lovely meal that was reasonably priced. The ambience here is excellent and we had a lovely evening here. Happily come back here again.

Dude, probably my most memorable dish in Oslo as of yet. The cassoulet here was amazing, I am still…read morethinking about it! It's not the cheapest joint but it's a really tiny, cozy spot that makes you feel like your in a little bistro in France. White and red checkered table clothes with little candles add to the charm and good food. We also got the duck rillette for an appetizer and it was super tasty, and the mussels. Being from WA State we have some pretty amazing mussels. The ones here were good, but they were super tiny, I am not sure it was worth the price. We live like a block from here so we definitely will be back, I'd really love to try out their dessert.
