Festningen

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!

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.

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.

The wine cellar offers a private room for a cosy and comfortable dinner for upto 10 people (8 is ideal). We hosted some clients here - and the intimate setting and some great wine got the conversations going. The stone walls mean that the room gets cold quickly... But the lovely five course meal with well paired wines made up. There is an upstairs area for smaller groups and couples. Better lit, more spacious and all the same ambience & food options.

Great experience and tasty meal. Almost tried all of the available menu. Definitely delicious cod and starters. If we visit Oslo again will go again. I suggest to reserve table beforehand.

amazing location, fantastic vast white wine list even some rare like Châteauneuf du pape white is served! Food is excellent although they have short one for lunch but i was able to get special one sweetbread. Waitres was very passionate, understand wines and attentive. Bravo!

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!

Great meal a wonderful dinning experience. We would definitely recommend this to friends. The chefs menu was fabulous.

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.
