4.5 / 5.0(674 reviews)
Well this is a gem I didn't know about! Amazing food! Lovely service! Would recommend 10 / 10! We went for 13 corse dinner. AMAZING! So many different things to try! And everything tasted very good. Didn't know halv of it. But my taste buds approved! We tried booking a table at Basso Social in Bergen but they were fully booked. We were fortunate enough to book this one in Oslo. So worth the wait! Service was outstanding and so was the food. Food is very creative and hits all the notes: Tangy, sweet, spicy, salty, soft, crunchy, etc. We chose the 13 course tasting which was too much food for us but, again, everything we tried was delicious. We opted to purchase a bottle of Valpolicella vs the wine pairing and were not disappointed. Highly recommend! Lovely experience overall. The service was excellent, spoke both Norwegian & English to me and my partner which was super nice of them. Definitely worth the price if you fancy a luxurious dinner date!

Not sure how to write up a review of this restaurant. It's actually hard since the food was so good. We went for Sunday Tasting menu, which is the thing they serve on sundays. We arrived abit early and was greeted at the entree by a waiter, she showed us where we were sitting, and handed us over to another waiter and that's when the show started. Firstly we didn't get the non alchoholic drink menu, and had to request that ourselves. Then we didn't get water until the dinner was almost half way through. Then we waited like 45 minutes to be able to pay. So that's why I'm giving it 1 star for Service. The scenery is decent enough and the food was excellent. 8/10 for food, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves! Not coming back tho, only due to the service

We were staying in Oslo for two nights and came upon this restaurant by chance. What incredible experience! We were greeted by with a warm family. Smile explained the tasting menu for the night. We were served by Leah expertly guided us through all the courses! This was such a wonderful, exquisite meal! We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Oslo!!
