The ice cream&rsquo;s solid, but skip the drinks. Iced chai latte was basically milk water, 60 NOK for that felt steep. Just get the scoops and you&rsquo;re good.

The cinnamon buns are really good, but the service is a bit hit or miss. One day you get a warm welcome, the next you&#39;re standing around waiting. Pastries make up for it though.

The adana kebab was proper juicy, well-seasoned. Came with fresh salad and bread. Place was quiet, easy to sit in. One of the better ones I&#39;ve had around here.

If you&#39;re looking for a unique cocktail experience, this bar is highly recommended. The signature cocktails are amazing, and the historical decor adds to the charm of the place.

Went for the veg options. The sweet potato chaat was a solid start, naan was good too. Service was fine, nothing to complain about.

Came back for the lasagna again&mdash;still as good as last time. Staff remembered me, which was a nice touch. Harbour view doesn&#39;t hurt either.

Great spot near the station. Salmon set was fresh, and the tuna hot roll hit the spot. Would&#39;ve liked a better wine option to go with it though. Cozy place for a quick lunch.

The mezze spread was solid, especially the creative twists on the classics. Our server knew her wine list well and picked a nice pairing that worked with everything. Cozy spot, though it got a bit loud later in the evening.

We sat outside with our dog and they brought a blanket and water for him without us even asking. That was a nice touch. The food was good too, I had the pasta and it was cooked just right. Service was friendly and easygoing. A bit busy around lunchtime but we didn&#39;t feel rushed. Fine place to just relax and eat.

We sat at the long communal tables, which worked fine for our group. The staff were friendly and helped us pick a local cider. That was nice, not having to figure it out ourselves. The place has a lively, casual energy. I&rsquo;d come back if I&rsquo;m in the area and want an easy, no-fuss meal. Maybe a bit loud, but it&rsquo;s part of the vibe.

Solid spot in Gr&oslash;nland. Veggie gnocchi was the highlight, big portions too. Drinks were decent. Staff nice but service dragged a bit when it got busy.

Stumbled in here after a walk through the park. Got the margherita and honestly, the crust was spot on&mdash;chewy, charred, proper. You can basically watch them work the big domed oven from your seat, which is half the fun. Prices are okay for Oslo, not cheap but fair. Place was a bit busy, but worth it.

Despite some noise from live music, the dining experience was enhanced by the fantastic food, especially the desserts.

Stopped here on my way along the Akerselva trail. The beef empanada was the real deal&mdash;proper Chilean style. Owner&rsquo;s from there, you can tell. Outdoor seating was nice in the sun. Tacos were good too, maybe the best I&rsquo;ve had in Oslo so far.

Got a table before noon, no wait. Food was decent, though one dish tasted a bit off. Fire tables are cool though. QR ordering was kinda confusing.

The entrec&ocirc;te was decent, and the raclette came out fast. Chef even stopped by our table for a quick chat, which was a nice touch. But honestly, for the price we paid, I expected a bigger portion. Left a bit hungry, which is rare for me. Fine for a one-off, but I wouldn&#39;t call it a steal.

Decent spot for a group hangout. Lots of room and they&#39;ve got a good pick of local beers. The arcade games are a nice bonus, keeps people busy. Was there with some friends last week, service was fine, nothing to complain about. Not the fanciest place, but it does the job. Probably be back if someone organises something again.

The lemon meringue tart was the star of the tasting menu!

Cevapi was solid, came hot and juicy. Nice little spot for Balkan food if you haven&#39;t tried it before. Place was quiet when I stopped by, so service was quick. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon, though I can&#39;t say I know the menu well enough to compare. Probably coming back to try more.

Even the corner spot by the toilets felt kinda cozy. Staff were friendly, wine was solid. Had to wait outside for a bit, but it was fine.

The mussels in tomato sauce were a standout&mdash;huge portion and I finished every drop of the sauce. The pasta dishes were well-prepared and the cozy, themed interior added to the experience.

The tasting menu was solid, but honestly the portions felt a bit small for the price. Scallops were the best part though. Good for a special night out, just don&#39;t expect to leave stuffed.

The brownie was really rich and went well with my coffee. Good texture, not too sweet. I&#39;d probably get it again if I&#39;m in the area.

Great wine list &mdash; found a nice Barolo to go with the pasta. Service was attentive without hovering. Place gets a bit loud later, but still a solid spot for a relaxed dinner.

Great sushi spot right across from the cinema. Fish tasted fresh and the staff were nice. Perfect for a quick bite before a movie.

Lovely lake view and friendly staff, but pricey for the portions. Our group of 10 got served at once, impressive.

We popped in for a late dessert and the girl behind the counter was so patient with us while we couldn&rsquo;t decide 😅 She knew the menu inside out and even let us taste one before picking. Honestly that made the whole visit for me. Place itself is cute too, but the service really stood out.
