"Brunost at Fenaknoken, Oslo Brunost (brown cheese) is a staple of Norwegian kitchens, usually cut thin with a cheese slicer to top buttered toast or warm waffles. Despite the name, brunost isn’t technically cheese; it’s the whey of goat’s milk, boiled for hours until caramelized. This imparts a distinctive brown color, a salty taste, and a texture like goat-cheese fudge. The specialty food store Fenaknoken carries brunost from a range of brands, including the ubiquitous Ski Queen and the more traditional Synnøve Finden. Tordenskioldsgate 12, 47/2242-3457."

Our visit to this charming gourmet store near the fish market in Oslo was one of the highlights of our trip. The selection was outstanding—we picked up some of the freshest fish and beautifully crafted fish products, along with a wonderful variety of delicious local cheeses and other meat products. What made the experience truly special was the warmth and hospitality of the owner, who took the time to chat with me and my 6-year-old son — we both learned so much! He shared stories, explained where the products came from, and made us feel genuinely welcome. A memorable store and also a rich cultural experience. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates high-quality local food. We will definitely return next time we visit Oslo again.

Great and cozy place in Oslo. Very tasty pancakes with shrimp and fish. Good beer and very friendly owner of the place. I wanted try to taste something Norwegian and this place seems to fit it just right. Don't forget to leave a note on the “Peace Board”.

Eric was friendly and gave great service. We spent ~420 NOK on 2 snack wraps, 1 fish cake, a cider and a beer, plus we were offered a few free samples that were just made in house. "Peace, love, and freedom". Eric spent a few mins chatting with us and gave us some insight on the surrounding area.

Our most memorable meal in Oslo. This is the place to get some seafood while you can breathe some ocean breezes. Here we felt so comfy and warmly welcomed. Their fish cakes were so delicious. And we just couldn’t get enough of the cold water prawns! We tried also their cured reindeer meat, expensive but good stuff.

I have spent this pest time here, I enjoyed the fresh shrimp smoked salmon and drink, which is very good to have peace of mind and have a lovely conversation with Erik, who is amazing and hosted me and telling me more about Oslo. Definitely recommend it and I will come again. The environment is really good.

Be careful and check the prices beforehand. For very ordinary Norwegian food they charge way too much – over 500 kroner for a small piece of smoked fish and a piece of cheese. What I liked least was how persistent he was when he tried to force not-so-fresh shrimp into my mouth.
