"Bib Gourmand 2024 (since 2011) No matter the time of day, this is a fave among groups craving first-rate Mediterranean cooking with drinks and a setting to match. Everything is tasty, fun and great for sharing, so go with a posse and get a communal table all to yourselves. The bar is just as nice for solo dining, thanks to the chatty staff. The menu covers a range of specialties from this region, including panini to a la plancha; and the kitchen turns out flavor-forward dishes that turn simple into spectacular. Need proof? Try the grilled broccoli dressed with an anchovy vinaigrette, roasted garlic and crunchy breadcrumbs. Smoked pork tongue has a noticeable smokiness with just a tinge of sweetness and is served alongside a crunchy Olivier salad with a macaroni twist."

"~80€/person no alcohol. A bit over priced in my opinion but worth it. Duck croquettes are good but eh. Crispy pork ear is very good + unique. Pork chop and pork shoulder and incredible."

"Anbefalt av Jonas Nåvik. Trasige lokaler, men veldig god mat! Vi spiste pork ribs og en vegetarrett basert på gulrot. "
