Great place worth visiting. A piece of France right in the middle of Oslo. This is a very tiny (yes, do definitely book a table) romantic place that serves an arrange of French dishes, wines and cheese to take home.

I went for a really nice duck pie, gratinated with everyone’s favourite Gruyère. My friend opted for a perfectly cooked entrecôte. Food was lovely, but the prices are a bit steep.

I would recommend this place for anyone wanting to escape Oslo for some hours - you will be transformed into a lovely and chaotic  French hideaway.

Thumbs up for the service, hard working and very friendly staff.

It’s a small and cozy place with slightly cramped seating, but the atmosphere is warm. The service was excellent, and we got recommended some great wine. We really enjoyed my fish soup, although it got a bit salty towards the end.

A hidden Parisian bistrot in the middle of Oslo.
This place is not just for dining but it’s mainly a delicatessen: on the shelves you can see the amazing products they work with and this is a testament to the quality of the food you’re going to enjoy.
The wine list is especially good, although a little pricey (I know in Norway alcohol is more expensive but it was still a bit too much).
My partner and I ordered the fish soup and the entrecôte grillée: both were very nice!

The only downside is that the place is very small and super crowded: you need to expect a little chaos that makes the place even more picturesque but it’s not going to facilitate having a proper conversation at the table.

Despite confusion about our reservation date, we were welcomed in and treated most graciously by our waiter. Both the food, wine and service were perfect. They even went out of their way to help me find something after we left in the middle of a packed house. We will never forget their kindness, service and warm welcome. If you fancy an authentic taste of France, spiced with Norwegian hospitality, this will not disappoint. There is also a curated selection of cheeses, condiments and other treats to take home.
