Restaurant Kontrast

Wonderful experience overall. We had our reservation at 18:00. Arrived 15mins early just in case, but the doors are shut untill 18:00. No waiting area, just had to stand outside the door. When the time came we were invited to go in, took off our coats ourselves and was escorted then to a sofa area for the 1st part of the experience. There, we were served some snacks (which all were exquisite, except for the duck which was a bit too salty and strong). Here you get a drink menu where you can order your drinks. After finishing the beautiful snacks, you are moved to the main dining area, where the real deal begins. Will not spoil the main dishes for you in the reviews, but overall they were heavenly. Pairing: I got the juice pairing, as I am not fond of alcohol. All the juices seemed to be made there, making there own mix of infusions, fruit and veggie juices. It is worth a try. Service: was very nice and attentive. However, some waiters were a bit difficult to understand clearly, specially when the name of the ingredient was not familiar to me. Lastly, I went on December and the interior temperature was a bit chilly for just one thin long sleeve. A thin jacket, sweater or thicker sleeves would have been a better choice.

Having dined in several Michelin star restaurants, this is by far one of my favourite! They have a very relaxing atmosphere there, I got to unwind in the lounge before dining, served with tasty snacks, and the full course menu was also very delightful. The staffs are also welcoming and helping. This made my last dinner in Oslo an amazing experience.

Loved this! One of the best dining experiences ever! Great service and a lovely introduction to Oslo! Relaxed but upscale setting with great variety of dishes. Everything is so well thought out and planned.

Perfect food with perfect service! I had the BEST scallop in my entire life here. Will definitely come back next time in Oslo.

Visited in November 2023. Wonderful experience of menu showcasing local ingredients. Attentive (and genuine!) service in a relaxed environment. My partner had the wine pairing. I did not fancy the juice pairing so they accommodated me with wine from their menu and made suggestions according to my tastes, so helpful! Wish I could go again!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience at Kontrast. Every detail, every description, every wine pairing exceeded my already lofty expectations in spectacular fashion. I would recommend anyone and everyone reserving a table at Kontrast and selecting their premium wine pairings. You will not be disappointed!

Spectacular multi-sensory dining experience. One of the best tasting menus I have experienced ever. Yes the food is flawless but the service is the real star - this team delivers over-the-top perfection. We had an amazing evening thanks to the international team that staffs this Michelin star winner.
