Mirabel - Jessheim

We kind of knew the moment we walked in that we were in for a treat. The place was bustling, almost every table was full of happy folk eating, chatting and generally enjoying the place. I was worried that it was a reservations-only kind of place as Jessheim is a small town, but we were greeted and ushered-in in no time. The server seated us with a smile and came with water and provided us with English menus. I usually prefer the local menu (translation is easy with Google! but we had just arrived at the airport and the English menu looked adequately comprehensive. A bit of a debate, but we ended up with 2 dishes to share between 2 very jet-lagged diners. The Monk Fish was fabulous but small. A small fillet of monk fish was on a bed of an unctuous, umami sauce of something I couldn 't adequately identify. May be crab and lobster? Garnished with chunks of zucchini and mushrooms and a small sprinkling of little shrimp. A wedge of juicy lemon and a scoop of rice. I first tried a bite of the fish naked, and it tasted just-caught fresh and perfectly cooked. The source and a little lemon elevated it to perfection. Encountering a new restaurant, I will go for the fish as one of my 'acid tests ' and the chef at Mirabel sailed through with flying colors! Even the rice was perfection. Not the way Chinese rice would have been cooked, but the perfect texture to soak in the source and combine as an accompaniment to all the elements of the dish. The second dish we shared was the Bianchi Quattro Formaggii pizza. It looked perfect when it arrived, and I would say was the best pizza I 've eaten in the past year (and I 've eaten a lot of pizza! The cheeses were perfectly² blended and a drizzle of honey over the top before serving turned it into perfection. The salty, pungent cheese complemented by the sweet tang of honey. With pizza, the crust matters, and there was barely enough crust left to mop up all the remnants of the monk fish sauce. What a perfect first meal in Norway!!

AMAZING seriously so good. Exactly what I needed after a long flight and few days traveling

Taking a walk in one of Oslo's mall (Sørenga Oslo) looking for souvenirs and we got so hungry and stumbled upon this place. At first they weren't going to take us in without reservations as we didn't realize that on Valentine's day, they're basically booked. But we were so early (around 4pm) that they took us in. Yes, we ate here in Feb 2020, before all the lock down happened. It was more of an unplanned dining so I didn't pay attention on the menu we ordered but whatever it was, all were well flavored and we were full at the end of the day. But luckily I was able to take pictures of their menu and the food. So if ever you're in Sørenga Oslo, do stop by here to have a good dining experience.

Great service and amazing food!! The spaghetti with pesto and scampi was delicious. Highly recommended!

Gyroen var full i karri, ikke det en forventer i en gresk rett. Ingen av oss er glade i det, og mye av maten stod igjen. Servitøren kunne ikke norsk, og det forventer jeg når jeg er i Norge. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: kr 400–500 Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
