We pass this place number of time, Finally we decided to dropping in. As we go through the menu, I decided take chefs recommendation three courses menu. The starter was Norwegian smoke Whale serve with bery sour cream, souce. I choose pork knuckle as the main menu, really incredible huge size around 500gr portions. The skin was crispy. The dessert. It was the mousse with espresso topped with bacon and crumble. Overall it was the greatest eating experience in Oslo. Very interesting. Yes, I highly recommend.....! Food is excellent. Had the pork knuckle as I had walked past it the day before and it looked great and couldn't not go here after that. It tasted fantastic. The table also had the ribs that were also excellent. I hadn't planned on eating the whale but it arrived anyway so tried it and was a unique taste. Some will like others won't. The white chocolate cream bacon desert was also very tasty. Service was good, but pricey but did taste good. Shame we couldn't sit inside as outside is a bit of a bus depot. Would recommend tho! Wow what a place. It gets busy so better get a reservation.. we didn’t but we were just lucky. The food is beyond good: it’s great if you are into meat .. We had the pork knuckle (absolutely incredible.. flavour and tenderness) and the bbq ribs also fantastic. We didn’t get dessert because the waitress was so busy that she couldn’t get to us.. not a big deal but it would have been nice. Ambiance is nice.. super lively and busy. Super well located. We will eat here any time for sure !

I tried the fried fish with potatoes which was tasty, though nothing extraordinary. The restaurant was very pleasant and the service polite. The food is quite expensive and the option to leave a tip can feel a bit awkward, which is unusual in Norway. Despite this, I would recommend it for those wanting to enjoy traditional food in a nice environment.

Fantastic restaurant!! I’ve been there multiple times and everything has been excellent. The best pork knuckle I’ve ever had and that includes Munich and Bayern 🍻. It’s good to make a reservation but they will work hard to seat you if you don’t. Excellent beer selection as well.
