"Set within a former industrial area of the city, this modern restaurant comes with a fittingly stark, semi-industrial feel. Organic produce is used to create refined, full-flavoured dishes whose apparent simplicity often masks their complex nature. The menus are a surprise: choose ‘Big’ for the full experience." - Michelin Inspector

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!

🇳🇴The new Michelin two 🌟restaurant Kontrast is located in a former industrial area in Oslo. It was awarded one Michelin star in 2016. Its team aims to use the preservation and fermentation technology of its sister company b.culture to present Scandinavian food on the table. Not only that, the restaurant is proud of the source of its ingredients, sourcing wild fish, organic or wild meat. Founder and Brand Chef Mikael Svensson was born in Skåne and trained in the local 🍳school in Kristianstad as an adult. His career continued in Oslo and he worked at Le Canard (1994-2014 Michelin one 🌟, translated as 🦆) in the early 2000s. He then worked in several Michelin one-, two- and three-star restaurants in Europe, among which the more famous ones are 🇪🇸restaurants Quique Dacosta and Martin Berasategui

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.

There wasn't a single employee who spoke Norwegian, which is a bit strange for a "Scandinavian restaurant". Good thing I was able to translate for my mom. That aside - service was top notch, all staff very friendly, and the food was sublime! We went for the juice package which was something really special. I would encourage even the most hard core wine connoisseur to give it a try. Will come 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!
