26. April 2015: Espresso House
Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures or notes of the breakfast at the Espresso House (as after meeting friend from my studies in Milan 6 years ago for the first time again was quite a time for catch-up and not for pictures)! Hoeever, the concept of the Espresso House is simple – you get your […]
25. April 2015: Summit 21 Bar @ Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel
The Summit 21 Bar in the Radisson Blu Scandinavia hotel sounds absolutely promising and looks very nice on the hotel’s homepage. Again, unfortunately, it does not fully fulfil the expectations. The view from the 21st floor of the hotel is not as stunning as you would assume and the place is quite run down. Not […]
25. April 2015: Restaurant Alex Sushi
Not too long after an extensive lunch it was time for a small dinner. The selection of various dishes is quite extensive which does not make it easy to pick a course. However, we ended up having “assorted sashimi” (190 NOK) and “tempura starter” (135 NOK) and I must admit that the sashimi was absolutely […]
25. April 2015: Restaurant Onda Sea
The Restaurant Onda Sea was recommended in one of my favourite books – “Where the Chefs Eat“. And I must say, once again, I was not disappointed. You have to pre-book the 7 course menu (995 NOK) which is not exactly on the cheap side but absolutely worth booking. The late lunch started with “Swedish […]
25. April 2015: Restaurant Stormkjøkkenet
It was raining cats and dogs that day – so taking a short break from everything, and especially the rain, seemed like a good idea so we entered the first place we saw when we decided to do so. And it was quite a lucky shot! The Stormkjøkkenet restaurant was not really open at 11am […]
25. April 2015: Restaurant Brasseriet @ Radisson Blu Scandinavia
Breakfast at the Restaurant Brasseriet in the Radisson Blu Scandinavia hotel is easy to describe: no thank you! The restaurant is not really a restaurant but more like one of these American-like superlarge dining halls which have no personality, no service, no anything! The picture is from the homepage of the hotel where it looks […]
24. April 2015: Restaurant Lorry
My first impression of Norwegian cuisine after a solid 15 years was a mixed one. The restaurant had been recommended to me by the hotel and I thought I should give it a shot. The “reindeerburgers with lingonberries and a creamy gamesauce” (198 NOK) were not really burgers as I had expected them but more […]
