"It may be a former prison whose name means fortress, but you can’t feel more carefree than when seated under a parasol on Festningen's sheltered terrace looking out over the water to Aker Brygge; the period building is charming too though, with a smart yet cosy feel, and the team will welcome you warmly wherever you sit. The terrace menu comprises brasserie classics such as burgers and moules frites, while the modern restaurant menu offers unfussy, attractively presented dishes like hamachi crudo with marinated cucumber, yuzu vinaigrette and horseradish or grilled chicken supreme with rosemary oil and spinach." - Michelin Inspector

"THIS RESTAURANT IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED DUE TO A FIREA smart, friendly restaurant with a terrace and lovely views over the water to Aker Brygge; it was once a prison and its name means ‘fortress’. The experienced kitchen creates unfussy, attractively presented modern Nordic dishes using fresh local produce. The impressive wine list is strong on burgundy." - Michelin Inspector

Stopped in, without a reservation, for a light lunch bite in the outdoor marque/well appointed alfresco dining area. Friendly efficient service, tasty salad & a beer that slaked the thirst. Recommended by us, will stop in again if we are in the area.

This was such a great experience!! The food was out of this world and full of flavour. The waiter was very attentive to our table and offered great recommendations on wines. We ended up going for the 5 courses which was affordable for the amount you get and the culinary excellence that is presented. I will be back.

We had dinner in Festingen restaurant on our first night in Oslo. It was great! The location is really great. The restaurant is located on a hill above the harbour of Oslo with a great view. Even if you are not eating there it is worth it to go up and enjoy the view. It was very busy there, so it is recommended to book like we did. The food is good and very tasty. The menu is very small with not much choice, but the dishes we had were delicious. I can recommend the beef tartar. From all restaurants in Oslo this one was our favorite.

This was our favorite dinner in Oslo! We got the chef’s tasting menu and they were exceptional in quality and taste. We did get the course of five but it was more food than we expected. It wasn’t on the menu but we asked if they could do a wine pairing and oh my I am so glad that we did. I highly recommend this place, great food with great views and the hike up the restaurant was romantic

I had the most lovely lunch here! I sent a reservation request VERY last minute and they were able to accommodate me, and I got a wonderful seat with a spectacular view. I let my server know I was pressed for time and the kitchen was able to expedite my service, but I never felt rushed. The FOOD! It was so delicious, so fresh, so tasty. I had the set lunch menu. The menu updates very regularly, so I was excited to try the seasonal offerings. I had two glasses of wine, each of them was recommended by the server and both options were soooo spot on. My server also offered the most incredible hospitality, very amiable and fun. Never an awkward moment. Eleven out of ten, I would recommend to anyone and I will absolutely be back when I return to Oslo.

Incredible food we had the fish soup to start and beef bourgignon / lamb shoulder for main. Flavours were so so good, plenty of hot gravy. Staff were lovely and spoke English. It's also great if you're not feeling too hungry you can get half portion for starter and main!

Gourmet experience in Oslo! Fish all te way! The service is very good & the wine selection too. Love the decoration and the views are amazing. We were here for dinner, but if we come back again, for sure we will have lunch outside! Experiencia gourmet en Oslo! Pescados de todos los colores! El servicio es muy bueno y la selección de vinos también. Me encantó la decoración y las vistas son lindísimas. Estuvimos aquí para la cena, pero si volvemos definitivamente almorzaría afuera!

We were there at a wine event, where four courses were made to match the wines of a particular winery (Ogier from France). The food was great, but it seems like such events are not the best way to receive good service since so many tables require attention at the same time.
