We thoroughly enjoyed trying all the ingredients and produce that were unique to the region. From the seafood to the mushrooms and the bread with whipped butter, everything was cooked to perfection. Would definitely recommend going!

Genuinely excellent service and dishes using local ingredients and referencing traditional Norwegian cooking. We are pescatarian and don’t eat shellfish, and there was plenty to eat- and our servers accommodated our subtractions very happily. The menu will recommend ordering 4 dishes per person; the dishes aren’t large, but we split 3 in total between the two of us and it was plenty. Beautiful decor and ambiance as well. This is the kind of place that feels like it should/maybe soon will? have a Michelin star.

We had the tasting menu the pasta with caviar that I've been recommended and it was all amazing. Will definitely come here again and again!
