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.

Closed from July 2nd to August 3rd
Reviewed By 599Angela
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.

One of the finest gourmet restaurants in Oslo, located in a 17th-century building in the old city centre. The ceiling has some of the finest stucco work in Northern Europe. The chef, Bent Stiansen, won the prestigious chef championship Bocuse d'Or in 1993

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.

Reviewed By Tomasolh
From the moment you enter, it is obvious youâre in for an extraordinary experience. Service is impeccable, discreet and personal. The atmosphere is elegant, welcoming and relaxed. We ordered the full tasting menu with the wine pairing menu, as I believe most customers do. Trust me, you canât go wrong. All of the dishes were stunning, and wine pairings perfect. Some of the dishes were so surprising, visually pleasing and well tasting that on several occasions my wife and I could do nothing but grin and laugh of pure pleasure.I have eaten in restaurant several times a week for many years all over the world. I can hardly remember a better experience, even in two and three star Michelin restaurants.With so many highlights, it is difficult to pick a favorite dish, but obviously the signature pasta dome must be mentioned. The lemon tart was also exquisite, but all of the courses were truly extraordinary, creative yet traditional and all made with craftsmanship which is scarce, unique and simply fantastic.It does not come cheaply, but is worth every penny.Hi TomasolhThank you so much for a wonderful review, and that you take you time to write it. We realy appreciate hearing from our guests.Looking forward to seeing you back.Kindly regards Jan and the team A Laise.
