Bass Oslo

Truly delicious food. Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended! If you go soon try the tortellini, the broth is truly transformational.

We visited Bass back in February on a random whim and found they were doing a pizza popup. The place was super crowded, vibrant, bustling, and loud, but the staff was really nice and found us a table pretty quick. Although they were only doing the pizza, so we didn't try the rest of their normal menu, the pizza was stellar, the wine selection is eclectic and surprisingly affordable, and it's impossible to not get spun up in the energy. We will definitely come back to try the normal menu, but I think it was enough of an indication of how they do things for us to give it a solid 5 stars.

Bass has a very nice and pleasant setting, the service was great! The food was sublime and high standard! We enjoyed our meal very much! Take a seat at the bar because the interaction with the crew makes your evening compleet!

One of my absolute favorite restaurants in Oslo/Norway. Casual vibe, fine dining, urban music and loads of natural wine!

A great, informal atmosphere and excellent food. I particularly liked the tartar dish (pictured). Really a wonderful little dish with so good contrast between the tastes involved.

Inventive food, attentive but not obtrusive service, and great vibe in a neighborhood that’s not *quite* Shoreditch or Williamsburg levels of gentrified (yet). Plates are indeed small but price is reasonable. Bartender made a great cocktail

Very good food and wine! Highly recommend!

One of the worst meals we had in years, most of the dishes are not really cooked - just raw fish or a big ball of mozzarella with a few anchovies. Good enough service but never enough to make it up. Please avoid at all cost.

My friends and I arrived hours before to Oslo, Norway and we found Bass Oslo and had the best conversation with Martien and Elise who were running everything that evening along with the chef who made us a spectacular meal. Oh my goodness it was a cultural experience. I'm used to restaurants being busy but in Bass Oslo everyone was not busy... They were enjoying themselves. I've never experienced that before.

Overrated, overpriced, uninteresting food with a boring ambiance! This restaurant is out to skim you as much money as possible with very simple and uninteresting food. First the wine list, wine by the glass all start from 100kr & above and most wine by the bottle are from 500kr onwards... As for the menu, guess what, its the "sharing concept" thing which has been such popular for the past 2 years in Oslo. They offer very limited 7 choices that changes whenever... On my visit, there were 3 meat, 3 seafood and 2 vegetables. We were recommended to share at least 5 dishes between 2 person. So, we had the following: 1) fritert kylling (similar to chicken karaage) 65kr: salty & boring 2) Rå kveite (halibut ceviche) 110kr: overpowering oyster sause that make it more fishy 3) Skorsonnerot (some kind of root vege) 80kr: gruyere sauce was good but just boring 4) Rå ytrefilet (carpaccio sirloin) 150kr: very balanced & one of the best 5) Torsk (cod) 110kr: one of the worst & a waste of a good piece of cod due to the bad mushroom sauce. Overall, the food were mainly salty drenched in heavy sauces (some are reuse in other dishes) to cover up their mediocre food. Here's something for the owner to consider... If you are charging so high with such limited menu and putting so much sauce in your dishes, why dont you even offer some bread on the table so we can at least wipe off those sauces from the plate and at the same time fill up our tummy with the bread??? Extra Note: The interior seems unfinished with minimal ecstatic with bright light throughout the restaurant with no ambiance, thus, not a place for romantic dinner. You will find some random and unrelated portraits like Jerry Seinfeld & wheelchair bound Christopher Reese in the bathroom which i thought it's a bit morbid and bad taste for a restaurant...

Wow what an experience! Loved the ambience, loved the food and loved the service. Would definitely go back when they change their menu. The food is like Scandinavian tapas, very interesting combinations with fresh and very high quality ingredients. Everything was very yummy and lots to choose from even if you don't eat meat. I loved the style of the place, the slightly rough edge industrial feeling to it. To top that they had good wines and a very good margharita!

I celebrated my 29th birthday at Bass Oslo with a large group of friends last night. We enjoyed ourselves immensely! The food was good, the wine was good, and the service was superb. They accommodated all 15 of us, including those with special dietary requirements. They even played Stevie Wonder's "Happy Birthday" on the stereo system in honor of my birthday. Thank you for helping make my special day a memorable evening, we will be coming back!

We recently went to Bass in Oslo, we were thoroughly impressed with the experience. Excellent food, wine, and service. A must try when you're visiting Oslo.
