Great Tapas style bar in trendy Grunerløkka popular with students and a twenty/thirty-something crowd. Busy in a good way with a relaxed dress-down look and feel.
Jammed when we walked in around 7 pm on a Thursday, but the friendly staff took our names, got us some drinks and suggested we sit on the cushioned window benches outside, which made for a very pleasant, if 40 min/hour, wait for a table.

We (2) ordered a range of Tapas dishes including : Patatas bravas, Tortilla Espanola, Marinated Prawns, Albondigas i krydret tomatsaus (meatballs in tomato sauce), Aspargesbønner i sitronolje (actually green beans not asparagus) and bread and alioli.

All the food was wonderful with the prawns stealing the show.

As is normal in Norway the house red and white was terrific (the Norwegian State buys all the wine sold through 'Wine Monopolies'). Overall the bill was reasonable (for Norway) and the service amiable and prompt.

Would definitely go there again.

A hard Norwegian goats' cheese, sweet to the taste and sickly to the eye. The locals have a saying about it: "The first time you hate it, the second time you hate it, the third time you love it." Couldn't agree more. Great as an alternative Welsh rarebit...

Anywhere and everywhere.

A shopping centre with quality outlets and collection of restaurants down by the sea. Try Sorgenfri or Bacalao for reasonably cheap food. There's also TGI Fridays and McDonalds for more mundane fare. Worth a look.

Only for the adventurous. Lutefisk is cod that has been soaked in lye, tastes like fish jelly and is served with mashed peas and bacon. Personally, I can’t stand it, but Norwegians gorge themselves on it.
