Stortorvets Gjæstgiveri
A wonderfully traditional Norwegian menu served up in equally traditional surroundings, with oil paintings adorning the walls, wooden floors, chandeliers, and lots of snappy white napery redolent of times gone by. Expect reindeer, pork belly, unusual fish such as ling and—controversially for Americans—whale meat steaks, which are acquired sustainably and form a historic part of the Scandinavian diet. For those who recoil in horror at such dishes, there are a few vegetarian options but generally this is a place for those who love their meat and fish chunky, hearty, and flavored with juniper, apricot, and imaginative Scandinavian flair. Reservations recommended.
