Reviews Summary
Fagn is celebrated for its creative Scandinavian cuisine and exceptional fine dining experience, with many praising the innovative dishes and the attentive service. However, some guests have noted issues with pacing and value, particularly concerning the wine pairings and vegetarian options. The intimate atmosphere and unique flavor combinations are frequently highlighted as positive aspects, making it a memorable, though occasionally debated, culinary destination.
"Creative and delicious food. The juice pairings are spot on. If I insist on finding a flaw, it is that I had to pour my own water. For a Michelin starred fine dining restaurant, I would not have expected that. Otherwise, it was perfect"
Jessica Rosado
"The food was very good, but the "premium" wine was NOT premium quality, and each pour was no more than 3 ounces at most. The cost for 4 small glasses of wine was $183 USD, but I looked up the pricing for each of the wines I was served, and none were more than a $30 USD per bottle."
Cheryl H
"It's my first visit to Michelin restaurant and it was great. From the first until last minute everything is well-prepared and feels comfortable: service, attention to details, stuff. Service itself is not visible: they come, serve the food, provide details and open to answer any questions. I asked a lot, and got all answers. Very polite, calm and professional.
Food itself - something that is hard to find in the city, I don't know even if it's possible. A lot of fish dishes, I believe it's mostly in honor of Norwegian history and easy fish availability. Only one dish was with meat and that duck, save God your soul, was amazing, serving was like a piece of meet looks like an island in the forest surrounded by sea and rocks. Very impressive.
I would definitely recommend if you can go there and experience Michelin level of restaurant."
