Stopped here last year on a 12 hour layover in Oslo... spent half of it at this cozy place. Real old and authentic. Marius the bartender took good care of me as a traveler just coming through... give him a raise !

Very old nice cozy place. The food was delicious, we were so satisfied. We ate and love the atmosphere, the food and the service
I really like this place. The atmosphere is very authentic and it's not like one of those standardised places that are very popular nowadays. It's a genuine Oslo restaurant and they have a selection of real Norwegian dishes. I have been there on December 23rd 2020 for my second time after many years, and I had a 'Juletallerken' (in the picture), which is a traditional Norwegian Christmas dish. It was delicious.
Very good food. The service was fast and we appreciate it. The local I would say that is cozy with a nice atmosphere! It was the perfect place to have the dinner!
Great place to grab a drink and a bite, try a beer or one of their gin and tonics.
Had lunch here in January after abandoning our walk due to heavy rain. My initial impression when we entered was that it looked warm and inviting. However that was almost instantly reversed when we were left standing in the doorway by an older waitress with glasses who, when I asked for a table for two, refused to welcome us in, and insisted very rudely on repeating from several metres away, 'you want to eat?' She then indicated with a shrug that we could take a table next to the door or further inside. She didn't move when we sat down but stood watching us till another waiter brought us the menu. We each chose burgers: one beef, and one vegan 'Beyond Burger'. The fries were fresh and delicious and my burger and the accompanying sides were good. However, the bun the burger came in was very flimsy and dry and kept tearing, and there was far too much lettuce. For dessert I had the Legendary apple cake. It was quite heavy on the cinnamon which I liked, but lacking apples and a decent apple flavour, and was quite dry and sandy in texture. Maybe that was how it was supposed to be (and the ice-cream, whipped cream and berries served with it helped make it more palatable) but it was not to my taste, and in no way legendary. Based on our experience I'm not sure i would recommend this restaurant. The decor is great and the menu seems decent, but the food we had was average and the service hit and miss. Though we chose to ignore it, the dismissive treatment we received from that first waitress was off-putting, particularly when we noticed she was very nice to customers of her own generation and race. The service we received from two other servers was good.
This is a great place to come for traditional Norwegian food. It's also a fun place to come eat or drink with friends. Their outdoor seating faces out towards Parkveien and has plenty of space. The waiters have a ton of work so they can be a little stressed but I don't blame them! 2 floors and an outdoor area makes for a lot of traffic! I have always been happy with the food here. The warm meals are especially great, and I love their chèvre salad. Traditional and hearty meals, normally with large portions. Their Norwegian Christmas food is really good! Drink selection is great. 225 different beers on the menu! Tons of antique decorations indoors! Almost like a little gallery I appreciate that they continue to serve a mini menu of sandwiches, fish & chips and burgers between 23:30-02:30 Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday! Perfect during/after a night out...although I must admit the late night food I've had here has not been great. For their regular menu, your best bet is to order by 23 (23:15 latest).
A fantastic place if you are first time in Oslo. Interior is quite weird with stuffed animals but has a very charismatic atmosphere. Food was the best I had in Norway. 4 stars for having very condensed seating plan.
