And I found yet another great restaurant to fill up on fuel! Well, my friend found, and I tagged along 🙂 BAR Vulkan can be a little bit out of the way, and not in the easiest area to find in Oslo, but I suggest you make the effort. Because you will get great food in a nice, lavish interior kind of place, which also has a rooftop bar open in the summer. And it might be easier to get a table here than at the other two BAR restaurants in town. What’s on the menu?, you say. A 4 course dinner, we did. Steak tartare, pulled pork taco, soft-shell crab, artichoke puree-ish, fresh spring roll, ceviche, and caramelized banana with three different toppings for dessert – YUM!! This 4 course menu changes now and again, so I guess that means I’ll….repeat 🙂
Update: And as said as done. Just visited BAR at Tjuvholmen last night. Did the same menu concept. 8 different dishes – crab tacos, trout ceviche, mushroom quesadillas, cauliflower, beetroot tartar, beef tartar, slow cooked brisket, and coconut mousse and raspberry sorbet. Yet another great meal! The place itself is not as fancy as the one at Vulkan, I think, but this one is more central located, and by the sea.

The menu sounds great. Lots of different styles combined. I have been craving a good dessert for several days and that caramelized banana is making the craving worse ;0)
That banana was insane!! Probably the best thing about the whole meal 🙂 I like trying different things, so a set-up like this is perfect for me – try a little bit of everything. Happy holidays!
Sounds delicious. I’ve had a taste for pork for a few weeks now so I’d love to try that pulled pork taco.
It was 🙂 I’ve never been too keen on pork, but after discovering pulled pork, I’m sold 🙂
Thanks for visiting my sight and here you have eating info on Oslo! It is on our radar for a future trip but met some folks from there in NYC and they said it was not a good place to visit! LOL! I look forward to exploring your sight and finding more recommendations on where we might find a great meal.
Thanks for stopping by as well! I love eating out, so you’ll find a few (Oslo) restaurants tips, and I bet more to come 🙂 I agree that Oslo is not the best thing about Norway, but a day or two can be justified. Just don’t expect NYC 😀
Sounds delicious! We ate some great food in Oslo last year -a couple on your recommendations I believe! http://othersomewhere.blogspot.com/2014/06/weekending-oslo.html
Are you the girl from London who I helped out with restaurant recommendations and things last year…? It all sounds very familiar 🙂
