Kolonihagen Frogner

I came for some wine and snacks, and ended up staying for a full menu tasting. I have no idea why I had not heard of this restaurant before - their food was incredible and the service is to a level that stands out in Oslo. Everything about Kolonihagen says "casual neighborhood hangout", but the food and wine is to a level of a "special occasion" fine dining restaurant. I look forward to coming back as frequently as possible.

Very nice experience. My third visit and still want to return. Two things can improve: the tables are too close to each other, to the point that it can be a challenge to get up to visit to toilet. And it was a bit difficult to get the waiter's attention to get the bill. All in all, really nice place to go for a nice dinner.

We had the 5-course vegetarian dinner with the wine menu. The pairing of food & wine was incredibly well, and we tasted some true gems (including some great orange wines, if you like them) The food was fresh & local, a firework of flavours! The restaurant is a cozy place where we immediately felt at home. and it also has a nice garden if you like to sit outside and enjoy your food or aperitivo there. Definitely coming back if we are visiting Oslo again!

Astonishingly delicious! Every delicate plate of food that was served to us was exquisite, and the service was marvellous. Marion was a gem. She explained each dish and had great knowledge and recommendations for what wines we should have. What an absolute treat it was to dine with you!

Really nice restaurant in in old environment, personally I like that they kept the old and original details. We had the pleasure to sit in the chambre separé where they served very nice food locally produced.

The meal was such a joyous example of Scandinavian cuisine. I had the vegetarian tasting menu and the servers were knowledgeable enough to really delve into the details of each of the elements for each course. Ranging from the use of seeds, making their own (not a) burrata, to adding an incredible lift to the lemon curd dessert with a wild herbs reduction. Each of the dishes had playful elements, and the flavour additions really succeeded in elevating the classics. As an added bonus, I had a hard time believing that such great wine choices were around in what is famously not a wine loving region.

Amazing food and amazing service. Located in what looks like a more residential afea (but in a relatively Main Street, Oslo style) this beautiful restaurant serves very unique and delicious food, elegant but accessible (not snobbish) sourced locally. Service is quite and fine, and it all feels very well thought of. Highly recommended.

We are visiting from New York, on honeymoon in Norway. Loved this restaurant. Lovely place for an affordable upscale dinner that includes Norwegian ingredients. Starting with the bread and butter, which was out of this world, and then going for the full meal. Delicious and so unique. The staff was great. The place is beautiful. Highly recommend!
