Restaurant Schrøder

The food was so flavorful, the cod was so fresh and juicy, and the meatballs and sauce were so delicious, that I am running out of compliments. Just come, order and enjoy!

Food was okay, not as good as I expected. Beef patty and bacon is tasty, reindeer patty is not delicious, comparing to other restaurants I tried before. Lingonberry jam tastes the same with the one bought in supermarket. I do not like the service here. We just put our cutlery down and the waiter immediately took our plates without saying and words. Kinda rude and they ignored us quite few times. Felt disrespected, will not come here again.

The food tasted decent (the reindeer meat was pretty tasty) but had no texture. The waiter looked like it was an inconvenience to serve us, and I don't believe any of the staff smiled even once during our 40-minute visit to the restaurant. The restaurant had a pretty chaotic appearance, and an old lady with sunglasses was chewing very loudly and staring at us during the whole 40-minute visit.

In love wih this place! Great food, pleasant service. Best restaurant if you want to try traditional norwigian food. Price is ok for Oslo.

The vibe was kinda off on saturday evening, felt like being in somekind of fast food place. Food tasted amazing, alltought a little bit too expencive, if Ur not from Norway.

Nice place for authentic Norwegian (christmas) food. Service can be a bit slow and the owners/employees aren't always very friendly. Overall, pretty good atmosphere though. This restaurant seems to be a must-visit for fans of Jo Nesbø, who really likes the place.

I enjoyed a pleasant, traditional Norwegian dining experience here. Prices are fair and it’s oozing with atmosphere. Food is tasty and filling. Definitely recommend if you’re in Oslo.

The raindeer meat was tasty, the rest - nothing special. Its quite expensive though - for the mean and a glass of beer i paid 40$. The service is also included in the bill - 25%. They didn’t have any appetizers, so only options for dinner.

Very old school diner environment serving Norwegian classics. The food was pretty good. Expect to wait much longer if you get a fish dish. Service was good definitely filled our bellies. Prices are very reasonable for expensive Oslo.

We came her so my wife could have an old school Norwegian experience. This place had the goods. Ordinary food. Stale ambience. Beer (not Ringnes think it was Frydenlund). Not many people but slow service. It was crazy expensive for what we actually ate but for Oslo standards it was like a food bank. We don't visit Norway often but even if we did this would not be a place we would even consider returning too. Probably even not if we were intoxicated and just thinking of dumb things we did in the past and how cool it would be to do it again for a joke.

We three had great meals at a reasonable price. But, wanted to return the next night and they weren't open inexplicably. Google said they would be open. Recommend the fish pudding. Also liked the reindeer dinner.

You see Time has not eroded Whatever it was That made this place What it always was Is always here And cannot be undone With unwoven venison meatballs Lingonberry dreams Apples of the earth Dreams of starlit Valhalla Are those stars stars of Michelin? No... They are shimmering planets above our dusk-lit horizon. They arrive first in the West and remain in the East until the untidy ends of the evening, when all other firmaments fade. Come, remain, return. But burn brightly still.

Best bang for your buck (err, krone) in Oslo if you want to try some traditional Norwegian food! I got the Reinsdyrkarbonader (which is also the Wednesday special, so you save 10 NOK getting the daily) for 139 NOK, which is an astounding deal in the pricey eating world of Norway's capital. Two big medallions of minced reindeer meat, very well-seasoned and it goes well with the onion and fruit sauce. Sides are hefty: big dollop of mashed peas, two potatoes, and a lake of pickled cabbage. The peas were a little dry for my taste, but a good contrast to everything else. Waitresses are a little surly, but it somehow works. Beers on tap, and all in a lovely bar setting. Perfect for a long summer day.

Quaint atmosphere and very good food and drink. The prices are VERY good compared to many other restaurants in Oslo. I had the minced reindeer cakes and my wife had minced chicken cakes... Both are awesome! I would highly recommend!

It's cheap and filling. But the food quality (and ambiance) was more like a cafeteria than a restaurant. Like reviewer Kevin L, I ordered the Reinsdyrkarbonader, and it's two big patties with two potatos, gravy, picked cabbage and peas. My wife ordered the regular karbonader, which is the same thing but with beef instead of reindeer. They both arrived at the table about 5 minutes after we ordered. The patties were bland, the potatos, well just two potatoes sitting there staring at you. The cabbage was tasty, and the mashed peas tasted like a very thick split pea soup. So I'm giving this two stars because two stars means "Meh. I've experienced better". And that's for sure. I would try Smallhans around the corner instead. But if low price and speed of dinner are goals, give it a try.

Schroeders is a great place for a beer and a traditional Norwegian meal. It has been made famous by the Jo Nesbo crime fiction novels and certainly lives up to the description. It's a really good spot if you want a 'local' experience and a proper Norwegian meal that won't break you. Main meals range in price from around 12 - 20 euro (89-150 NOK) and are simple, tasty and come in pretty big serves. The food is not fancy, very homestyle cooking. Have the apple pie with ice-cream to finish and you've treated yourself to an authentic Norwegian dining experience. The service is friendly and pretty quick, too. Starting from October they introduce their Christmas menu and it gets very busy here so book in advance!

Overpriced and the service was not very good. I don't have high standards when it comes to service, but we were pretty much ignored the whole time. Fries were just normal fries and the burger was not really that special.

Divey and surprisingly good. We had the roast bacon and mashed turnips in cream sauce and the french onion soup. Both were very good and the beers were cheaper than average for Norway. We stopped through primarily as tourists (we had read a decent number of Jo Nesbo books) but this place is worth visiting regardless of your affection for Harry Hole.
