Spearheaded by Chef Jan-Erik Hauge and his talented kitchen team, each dish showcases the finest local ingredients, thoughtfully prepared to delight both the eye and palate.
Starters
Begin your dining experience with elegant starters like the Rossini Caviar Gold Selection, a sumptuous blend of Oscietra caviar, whipped sour cream, and delicate brown butter waffles. For a decadent twist, try the Cannelloni with Milk Pudding and Truffles, where fresh black truffles meet creamy milk pudding, complemented by leek stems, lemon zest, mushroom, chive emulsion, and a silky pea velouté.
Mains
The main courses at Tango are a celebration of Norwegian terroir and culinary artistry. Dive into the succulent Frøya Scallops paired with sea buckthorn kosho, chili, and apple purée, or savor the Fresh Pasta with Confit Egg Yolk, enhanced by the earthy aroma of both white and black truffles in a luxurious velouté. Seafood lovers will appreciate the Norwegian Lobster served alongside a fragrant saffron bisque and grilled celeriac purée, while the Oven-Baked Turbot combines delicate fish with chicken jus, deep-fried chicken skin, smoked turbot skirt, parsley stems, turnip pasta, and parsley vinaigrette for a complex yet balanced flavor.
Vegetarian and adventurous palates are well catered for with dishes like Pinnebrød with Cep Mushroom Crocante, offering a delightful textural contrast, and Chawanmushi with an assortment of mushrooms including cep, morel, oyster, and shiitake, accented by horseradish pearls and scallions for an umami-packed experience. For a taste of Nordic wild game, the Yakitori-Grilled Reindeer is a standout, featuring juniper and rosé berries, béchamel, parsnips, reindeer heart, fermented egg yolk, and a rich oxtail sauce finished with red wine and aromatic spices.
