"What a fresh fish… meal food was so tasteful and fresh. We saw the whole fish and walked for 30 mins. Well worth it.
I thank this fish for a tasteful meal. My husband enjoyed his meal / salmon meal.
The walking instruction from google was perfect. You don’t walk over water. Stop in and enjoy
I was place near a family that kept on moving. They came after we sat. Only small negative"

"I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the seaport restaurant in Oslo, Norway.
This restaurant is located close to the Munch Museum, almost on the waterfront, with views stretching across the harbor toward the cruise ships and the sunset. It’s a lovely spot for dinner if you want to enjoy the evening light – the sunset was spectacular when we visited, and it really added to the charm of the experience.
The food is simple and decent, though not remarkable, and the service is efficient without being particularly memorable. Prices are fair considering the prime location.
I would recommend this place mainly for the atmosphere and the views – it’s worth it if you come with the right expectations."

"Absolutely amazing experience. I got here early… it was quiet and peaceful. The view is amazing, but the food is even better. I started with the calamari and had the fresh trout with potatoes for a main. Best I’ve found in Oslo! Thank you!"

Chef Ulrik Jepsen: where to eat and drink in Oslo
What Rest is doing with leftovers, giving a fine-dining treatment, is phenomenal. They use rejected, misshapen vegetables and fish tails. They transform leftovers into jewel dishes, it truly is the future.
