The food was excellent and the environment exciting with traces of the old blacksmith that once was here. Beautiful art decorating the walls.The downside is that the service was real slow, and the price a little too high for the provided service.

A large group of us were treated to dinner at this top grade restaurant (Michelin 2017). The ambiance was excellent in the "cellar". Good decor, staff, company, drink and food. Every luscious course and wine was introduced to us, in detail, by our waiter. A most enjoyable evening.

Just a couple of blocks off of Karl Johans Gate, in the heart of central Oslo sits this outstanding, elegant restaurant. The inconspicuous exterior opens up to a much nicer interior. Reservations are highly recommended, since the place tends to be full for weeks. It is closed Sundays and Mondays. The 3, 4, 5 or 6-course menu changes frequently, based on the season and available, high quality ingredients. Wine pairing is available, although not mandatory. Our dinner started with a delightful glass of champagne, followed by a Salmon tartar, Witch flounder with Crab sauce, Mink Whale, Fried Halibut and concluded with an apricot and banana creation, followed by a Strawberry Parfait. Each course was accompanied by well-selected wines that enhanced the flavor of each dish. On of us had multiple allergies, especially to seafood. The chef was very willing to work with us and prepared substitute dishes wherever it was necessary. Service was outstanding and we felt warmly welcome.

Easy to reach by tram from the central area, it was excellent! The owner/server was very nice, eager to explain the menu and to make suggestions. We ordered lamb and meatballs, both very good (lamb was better). Huge portions, decent prices, including wine. We could spot locals and Tripadvisor readers eating, no other way to find this place.

I'unno what to say that hasn't already been repeated a hundredfold. These people are definitely at the top of their game. A calm atmosphere, balancing between casual and focused. The dishes are tiny pieces of art, and often quite tongue-in-cheek references to Norways culinary history. Tastes are balanced, wines are matching. The waiters' are full of tiny anecdotes about the (mostly very) local ingredients. This place is an experience.

The only problem I had with Hos Thea was getting in - the main entrance is NOT on gabels gate but around the corner.I ordered a tuna loin with soya and halibut with leek and butter sauce. Plenty of nice side accoutrements, the tuna came with apple and radish and the halibut with potatoes and wonderful heirloom carrots. Perhaps the tastiest meal I had in Oslo. And not too expensive for what I got, especially since I also had a sauternes to finish.No music in the room, and certainly no televisions. In Canada there would be ten TVs and loud music in a place like this. But the Norwegians are civilized. The room was very calming. I could have stayed all night. And it wasn't too busy on a weekday, but I would still make reservations.Service was perfect. They bought bread refills without even being asked.

The Internationally renowned owner-chef works the floor, serves many courses, and shows genuine interest in his patronsâ response to his food. His Michelin Star is the product of such total focus on excellence. I was amazed at how welcoming everyone was, including the chef-owner. It would be easy for such a restaurant to become pretentious, which Statholdergaarden decidedly is not. There are three ways to order, à la carte, a menu of the day - 4-6 courses, and a tasting menu. We chose à la carte because we share all courses. The tasting menu would have been 12 courses each and the menu du jour would have totaled a minimum of eight. We ended up with two starters, two mains, and a cheese plate for dessert. In eating at Statholdergaarden, there are five amuses bouche - no kidding - spectacular dark sourdough bread and two phenomenal butters. Each dish is amazingly complex. For example the cheese plate featured three different Norwegian cheeses, a small loaf of the dark sourdough bread, and six different condiments. To be sure, expensive, but worth it.

I eat sushi often in the UK and I feel like Fangst still managed to make it new and exciting. Every course had a little story, every ingredient a journey to the plate.I have never eaten lettuce and been sad that it was over until now.From the fresh wasabi to the amazingly cooked monkfish it was a brilliant experience and I'm genuinely sad I'm not going to get chance to come again.The staff too were incredibly friendly and chatty, with some great stories of their own!
