Fenaknoken on Postcard

"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."

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”.

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.

Family run gourmet store and restaurant. . It was one of the most delicious restaurants in our Norway trip. Running by father & a son, they have passion on food and providing the top grade local produce from Norway. The shrimps were fresh, the marinated salmon was excellent. They also sold various kinds of sausages from different kind of meats from Norway. The owner was nice and told us a lot of information about Norway and their food. Loved this places so much.we had a wonderful time there. Highly recommend.

Amazing place that sells delicious and fresh seafood at an affordable price. The father and son that runs this place were also really friendly and had great stories to tell. We were also given free samples of the fish before we bought any, with samples that were really big, and we couldn't help but buy the fresh fish cakes and marinated trout after tasting the samples. Super delicious and fresh, can't wait to come back again one day.

Very friendly ambiance and super tasty snacks! We had the chance to try some gamalost (challenging taste 😅), and an extremely good salmon. The owner was very friendly and we had a very nice chat. Can't wait to try the norwegian delicacies I bought for the family back home.

So glad I found this place. I was looking for an authentic exotic meat spot this weekend and came across Fenaknoken. They have everything you can think of - elk, reindeer, deer, lamb, salmon, fish cakes, and so much more. Definitely get the fresh dill salmon, homemade fish cakes, and the reindeer. Eirik was so accommodating and took me on a tour of the store, sliced up my salmon on a platter, and brought it out to me while having a friendly convo. It was a fun, pleasant experience and I would definitely come back!
