Visited in November 2023. Wonderful experience of menu showcasing local ingredients. Attentive (and genuine!) service in a relaxed environment. My partner had the wine pairing. I did not fancy the juice pairing so they accommodated me with wine from their menu and made suggestions according to my tastes, so helpful! Wish I could go again!

Out of all the michelins, this one takes the cake. Even with one vegetarian menu, we've never had such attentive service and varied dishes. Divine flavours and just an overall calm vibe of the place. They are experts in their art.

Kontrast was our second Michelin star restaurant experience in Oslo. It has 2 red and a green stars. We really loved the place, cozy, welcoming. Seating area is facing the kitchen. Music selection was a perfect match for our age and I couldn’t helped my self to sing. Also, another table joined and we started chatting. Now we have new friends to visit in Prague. Food, atmosphere, service all was so good, a nite to remember. Also, we added up another signed menu to our collection. Don’t miss!

One of the best fine dining experience ever! Nordic food is often being underrated when it comes to food but just like what the staff said, nordic cuisine has started to establish its own kind of style and quality in the last decade and we were very happy that we didn’t miss out Kontrast in our trip.

While pricey, one of the best meals I’ve had. Great dining and culinary experience with local Norwegian ingredients made with care and expertise. At one point, i was more impressed by the creativity of how many steps it took to prepare one part of one dish!

I visited Kontrast on my 29th birthday with my girlfriend. The moment you walk into this restaurant, you immediately feel like someone special. The staff gives you their full attention. As soon as they see you’ve finished, they appear at your table right away and suggest the next courses. They really know their craft. They can answer any question and are happy to chat about anything. The dishes were exquisite. You absolutely must order the drinks paired with each dish — it really elevates the whole experience. The chefs work with incredible focus. It’s definitely worth going there, as it’s something completely different from an ordinary night out at a restaurant.

This was not a meal but an experience. We tried the tasting menu which is roughly a 12 to 14 course meal of Norwegian origin. You start with a 4 course amuse-bouche, wine and cocktails. The attendants were superb and friendly. The atmosphere however was a bit generic and bland and not warm. A bit of decoration, lower light, and candles would have made the experience warmer, especially with the cold temperatures outside. Thank you for NOT having music. Overall an excellent experience.

Very creative, very delicious. Very nice use of seasonal and fermented products (koji, garum). Some highlights were the duck liver crème brulee with coffee-marinated cured duck breast, the moose fillet, and a wonderful drinks pairing that included not only wine, but sake too.
