Bar Amour

Although everything was really great but these are our favorites from the seasonal menu. It’s truly an overwhelming feeling and worth the guide from Michelin star. Will surely back to try another seasonal menu.

This place was a total positive surprise! I heard many good things about this restaurant before trying it but I’ve never really known what was the concept about it. This is probably the only fine dining in Oslo that serves Portuguese/Norwegian food. And the combination of the two cuisines is an explosion of tastes, textures, and contrasts that worked for me during almost the whole meal. My friends and I didn’t know what we were going to eat so everything felt more special and exciting! Both of them informed the team about their nut allergy and luckily the chefs were able to find a solution about it, but I’m not sure if they can accomodate all the allergies and dietary restrictions. The service was excellent, a bit informal, with one of the sommeliers who loved making jokes while serving us, and I appreciated it, especially because he had the same kind of humor. The two sommeliers were so knowledgeable and professional when it was about explaining the wines and drinks, but also the plates that were served to us. Having the chefs serving us and explaining the dishes too gave an extra point to the whole dinner. The main dining area was smaller than I thought, but it was also intimate and everyone in the room could see the three chefs cooking the food. It was a bit dark but not too much, and the music was another surprise during the meal! The whole dinner was a total climax and I couldn’t find any bad or boring dish. There was a lot of balance in flavors and textures, and I might say that many things reminded my experience at the restaurant Maaemo. The only thing that I think they should get better is their desserts. None of them were bad, but I just think they weren’t on the same level as the previous dishes. Maybe they were missing freshness and more acidity? Not sure, but I could say that I recommend this place to everyone. One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Oslo. A great applause to the whole team!

Really excellent tasting menu. Thoughtful, inventive and delicious! Highly recommended for a splurge meal if you’re visiting Oslo. Great experience with a pre dinner cosy bar and then a small intimate dining room. Waiters and chefs were friendly and welcoming.

Finally got to visit Bar Amour, and we were not less excited after they got the Michelin star this Spring. Small/intimate restaurant, mostly couples or friends visiting. We were invited into the 1st floor lounge area with a view, with drinks and first courses. Then into the dining area, with a relaxed atmosphere, where the rest of the meal is served. Delicious and subtle tastes, with - as they say themselves - a 'punch'. More robust flavors (rich on umami) and textures than e.g. Hot Shop (with its more pure/clean/acidic style), another Oslo favorite. While modern and using Norwegian produce (veg, seafood, meat), the Portuguese inspiration shows in almost all dishes, with techniques, ingredients and hints of tradition. Wine pairings were interesting and well composed, worth the deal. Love the fact that Oslo's restaurant scene has got this addition, at the level of - but with a different 'vibe' than - other small, informal and lovely one-star restaurants, like Hot Shop, Hyde and Savage.

We had a great time at Bar Armour! The food and service was amazing! The balance of flavour keeps you wanting more. The wine pairing really compliments the dishes we had. We will definitely comeback to Bar Armour again!

had a very intimate dining experience here and will definitely return. delicious food with great wine pairing and staff is very welcoming. highly recommend.

🇳🇴The newly awarded 1 Michelin star 🌟Bar Amour is located on the site of the legendary cocktail bar Morgenstierne, whose head chef previously worked with Carlos De Medeiros at the 🇳🇴3 Michelin star 🌟Maaemo. He was born in Oeira, in the southern tip of the 🇵🇹 country's south island. The coast is famous for the quality seafood in the most traditional style. When he was 18, he closed his own restaurant due to lack of management when he was 22 years old, and he was already 20 years old when he was 22. He decided on an ambitious career choice - working at the 🇳🇱3 Michelin star bar De Librije. Today, he uses a Binchotan grill and a waffle iron as his cooking equipment in the Michelin-starred restaurant in Tokyo and performs a six-course movie-style meal in the Michelin-starred restaurant 🇳🇴, 🇵🇹 & Mozambique with a unique play of ingredients.

Absolutely wonderful little casual dining above Tranen. The menu changes on the day depending on the day. We had wonderful oysters, scallops, charred leek, snails, sea urchin toast… and more. Highly recommend.
