Reviews Summary
Restaurant K2 garners significant praise for its Michelin-starred commitment to sustainability, innovative 10-course menu, and exceptional drink pairings. Guests often highlight the friendly and professional service, creating a warm and memorable dining experience. However, some find the pacing of the meal too long and have noted inconsistencies in dish execution, particularly when the restaurant is busy.
"The restaurant fully deserves its Michelin star and green star.
Offering a 10-course menu, each dish was absolutely delicious, crafted sustainably with locally sourced ingredients and a zero-waste philosophy.
I especially loved the rye bread with sardine, the potatoes and whey, and the Norwegian plum - simple yet refined flavors.
The service was impeccable: super friendly, warm, and highly professional.
Another highlight was the drink pairings, a perfect blend of cocktails and wines. Each dish was beautifully complemented by a carefully selected drink, whether it was an inventive cocktail or a fine wine. These pairings added a perfect harmony to every course, elevating the entire dining experience.
I had a fantastic evening and highly recommend this restaurant for an unforgettable gastronomic experience, both in terms of flavors and hospitality."

"Booked a table with high expectations which unfortunately did not materialize.
The overall atmosphere of the restaurant is not bad. Some nice artwork on walls etc. If you are sensitive to smells ask yourself to be seated further from the open kitchen. At times the smoke and smells reaching the tables was a bit too much. We saw one table moving due to that.
First few courses were delivered pretty fast. Then restaurant got busy and the dishes started to arrive very very slowly. Empty plates stayed at the table for way too long. So 4 hrs total for the whole dinner. As we were sitting close to the kitchen we got to observe the operations. At times it felt pretty chaotic. It did seem that the number of guests that night came as a surprise so the daily prep had not been sufficient.
Food - the concept of local produce and sustainability is great, but unfortunately the level of the dishes was disappointing, lacking depth and elegance. Fish/seafood dishes were better than meat dishes. The sauces on the dishes were very similar. Also the plating was inconsistent - same dish arriving at the table looking different. The main course was pork...very average both from flavor and plating point of view. One of us had shelfish allergy and on the shrimp/tomato ceviche type of dish the shrimp was not substituted but was just missing from the dish. I wouldn't have expected a partial dish served at a Michelin restaurant. The main apple themed dessert was probably the best dish, with nice textures and flavors . Petit fours did not deliver.
Does K2 deserve a star? For sustainability probably yes - a lot of effort is put into it and is something to be proud of. For food, service and overall experience not so sure."
