Reviews Summary
Røst is lauded for its innovative Italian-Scandinavian fusion cuisine and exceptional natural wine selection, creating a memorable dining experience. Diners rave about the consistently delicious and carefully prepared dishes, with many praising the friendly and knowledgeable staff who enhance the intimate atmosphere. While the food and wine are a major draw, some guests noted a desire for a more extensive wine menu.
"The food was really good and the service was lovely. We were unsure what we wanted to choose and got some good recommendations that we all enjoyed.
They had some delicious options with meat but the menu was also suitable for the vegetarian part of our group.
Unfortunately they did not have a wine menu. We were recommended a good bottle of fizzy red wine which we enjoyed, however we could’ve appreciated a little more of a selection. I would recommend being upfront with what you’d like as they said they also have some elevated options and champagne which I unfortunately can’t tell more about as we were too tired for another drink after the food."

"Enrico and the staff are simply amazing! They really know their stuff and the atmosphere is intimate, easy going and familiar (either you sit at the counter or at the table). The food is fresh and the menu changes regularly (we have been keeping going for dinner over months and never get bored). The wine offer is top notch bio and natural labels. You must reserve the table in advance!!"
