This is a restaurant that I would recommend to anyone who asked. It's great both for bigger dinner…read moreparties and for friends in search of lunch or coffee. The menu is varied, with both beef, fish, chicken and pasta. The prices are reasonable and the service is good. During the autums, they also serve typical norwegian autumn food. Like deer, cantarels, fårikål. The restaurant has a great assortment of wine, and a bar with much to choose from. It has 4 different sections, one of them being a wintergarden. So it's possible to choose a more private and quiet seating if that is desirable. I'm definitely a fan, and my favourite dish is biffsnadder.

Menu is typically Norwegian with many fresh seafood, salads and lighter meals available. The building is very old and I think it was formerly the city hall for Oslo. Classy and upscale, the service is excellent and the chef, at times, walks through the dining area to chat with the customers. Good selection of beers and wines. Expensive, great ambiance but you pay for it. We did not know how famous this restaurant was and we were both in our tourist wandering about outfits, so at first wondered if we should be here, but once those beautifully presented dishes came through, we were glad that we had stumbled in. This restaurant deserves to be treated as a classy, first class, gourmet dining experience...as it is.

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.

I was recommended this restaurant by friend and decided to try it out today. We were quickly…read moreapproached when we entered and were seated and given a menu. They offer a variety of dishes with chicken, lamb and vegetables. We received an appetizer our orders very quickly. The staff are very attentive and would often come by and ask if we needed anything. As we sat waiting for our order the restaurant filled up pretty quickly so I would probably recommend reserving a table if you want to make sure that you get a table on the weekend. I ordered grilled lamb with a salad which was very tasty. The portions there are pretty big so I would probably recommend you go there with a big appetite. We were so full by our main course that we ended up not getting dessert even though it looked very tempting. I would definitely recommend this place.

Elias Mat & Sant is a delightful restaurant in Oslo, a city that has endless restaurants. But…read moreElias Mat & Sant is perfect if you're looking for classic, Norwegian food in a casual setting. 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!

Probably one of the best meals that we had on our trip to Norway was our very first night in Oslo…read moreat Fiskeriet. We did not have a reservation, but luckily they managed to fit us in at a shared table. This place is extremely popular so I would highly recommend making a reservation. To start, we ordered the cod croquettes to share. Perfectly fried and golden brown, these croquettes were absolutely delicious and the accompanying sauce paired perfectly. For our entrées, I ordered the fish and chips while my husband ordered the creamy fish soup and my father ordered the fish gratin. All three dishes were fresh and delicious, but I think the fish gratin was my favorite. So if you find yourself an Oslo looking for a delicious meal down by the water, come check out Fiskeriet.

Disappointing to me they only serve Pepsi products - darn - had to go with a beer. Table next to me ordered the shellfish platter and it looked amazing.
