What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Klosteret Restaurant is lauded for its incredibly romantic and atmospheric candlelit cellar setting, coupled with creative Norwegian and European cuisine. Diners rave about the exceptional wine list and attentive service. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few mention longer wait times during peak periods.
"We had an incredible evening here. Every dish was perfectly created and spiced. Probably the best wine range in Oslo. The atmosphere was wonderful and romantic. Our service was attentive and friendly and an excellent expertise. The pricing was surprisingly decent.
We‘ll definitely come back 8pm our next Oslo trip."
Michael Schott
"Beautiful location! After entering, you descend into a very atmospheric cellar, mostly lit by candlelight. The service is excellent, and the cuisine is very Norwegian-oriented, which I appreciate. In a city like Oslo, known for its international flair, it can be challenging to find elevated Norwegian food."
Priscila Zijlstra
"We loved our dining experience at Klosteret. It was difficult to find vegetarian options when visiting Norway, so we were delighted to find an entire vegetarian tasting menu. The dishes were carefully crafted as their own vegetable-focused dishes, as opposed to feeling like meat had been substituted by vegetables in a dish. The six course tasting menu was the best thing we ate in Oslo. The service and ambiance were amazing and we'll be recommending it to friends visiting Oslo."
