Description

One of the city’s modern ‘barcode’ buildings plays host to this bright, relaxed restaurant, where an open kitchen affords views of the chefs, and a terrace is on-hand to make the most of the warmer weather. Three set menus allow you to choose between four, five or eight courses, with optional extras including cheeses and a sharing dessert platter. Cooking is underpinned by Norwegian produce, with their speciality being the in-house aged and cured hams, which are sliced at your table for an additional dash of theatre. Come on a Saturday for a leisurely sharing brunch.

Review summary

Vaaghals offers Scandinavian cuisine in Oslo with an average rating of 4.2/5. Food quality is a standout feature, praised for its deliciousness and presentation, though some guests found portions too small or flavors underwhelming. Service is generally professional and friendly, but issues with meal pacing and late kitchen cleanup caused frustration for some. The atmosphere is highlighted by its open kitchen, wine bottle displays, and good acoustics, making it suitable for conversation. However, several reviews note high prices relative to portion sizes and overall experience, suggesting limited value for budget-conscious diners.

Best for

Suitable for diners seeking high-quality Nordic cuisine and an elegant atmosphere, but be mindful of portion sizes and pricing.
