Arakataka

It’s definitely one of my favorite spots in Oslo. Good wine food and good wine menu, professional sommeliers, friendly service. Just one thing that disappointed me is that once I didn’t have a reservation but was in restaurant on spot. First, the receptionist told me there could be a place. Then another female receptionist came up and told me impatiently that it’s full. Her attitude made me really uncomfortable. If it were not for that bottle of wine…

A foodie haven in the central city. A little hard to find but don’t give up! Dishes alternate between complex and comforting. Staff is knowledgeable and welcoming. Room is intimate and comfortable.

This place is mid at best, I was so excited for this meal made reservations days in advanced. My oysters were outstanding and the free bread was very warm. Then my main came out cold and was very one dimensional. My mother’s main also came out cold. Coat rooms floors soaked no rug to brush off boots. The service was also slow maybe that was because we ordered á la carte but that was an option given so shouldn’t affect service. Only restaurant that has been on Michelin recommended list that I would NOT return to.

Excellent food! I wish the doughnut in the caviar doughnut had been sweet as a complement to the saltiness of the caviar. Nice wine selection.

Absolutely delicious food. We had such a great night here at Arakataka. We had the 6 course tasting menu and we enjoyed every single mouthful. Full of flavour, deliciously cooked fish and meat. Oh and the warm bread was just devine. Highly recommend a visit when in Oslo.

A must-visit for foodies visiting Oslo. We went for the 4-course meal with wine pairing and were amazed. The beef tartare was uniquely done with crunchy bits that were fantastic. This was followed by white asparagus in a rich shellfish cream sauce. The main course was chicken several ways with a butter sauce that was to die for. The meal ended with a perfectly crafted desert that mixed lemon, white chocolate, and cheese. Service was extremely attentive and the wine pairing was well done as well. You can’t miss this place while in the city!

Loved the food, the service was a bit slow between plates, atmosphere was spot on. I would come back again!

Great service and delicious food! We had the pescatarian 4-course menu and everything was delicious. Loved the ceviche and monkfish and char-grilled mushroom and sourdough bread. Definitely book ahead cos they are quite popular!
