"Visit on 07/24/2023 We visited the restaurant around noon and ordered a la carte. I ordered a signature menu for 645 NOK with starter (reindeer tataki)/main course (grilled cod)/dessert (panna cotta) my wife ordered a risotto for 295 NOK. I was told that the reindeer tataki was out of stock but I could choose another starter. I then decided on another dish. Afterwards we unfortunately had to wait almost 1 hour, which in itself is very borderline as the restaurant was not even fully occupied. Then we both got our main course which tasted absolutely perfect. The chefs know what they are doing. However, if you read it correctly, you will now realize that something is wrong. Because my starter wasn't served beforehand. When the waitress wanted to ask me if they could serve the dessert, I asked her about it and we agreed that I would pay for the fish and the dessert separately, but that I would rather order a rhubarb parfait instead of the panna cotta. The reason why I give the service here 4 out of 5 stars is due to the action that happened now. I got my dessert relatively quickly and started to eat. Now another lady came along and also handed my wife a rhubarb parfait as house compensation. That this happened without complaining on our part at the restaurant's own initiative is worthy of all credit. However, when I wanted to pay, the price of my menu was also reduced by 50%. I've never experienced anything like this before, so it just has to be mentioned. Quality of the food 5/5 there is nothing to complain about Service needs to be faster, but problem solving is great. 4/5 Ambience is totally okay, modern restaurant at the harbor with enough outdoor seating 4/5 Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: kr 400–500 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4"

"Named after Pastry Chef Pascal Dupuy, born French but trained in Norway and part of Oslo's dining scene since 1995, Pascal now consists of several Patisseries and Restaurants including the largest near The Royal Palace. Officially addressed Henrik Ibsens Gate 36, one of the few locations open on Sunday while much of Oslo rests, guests are invited to dine from 12h00 to 17h00 on a collection of Pastries, Salads, Soups, Sandwiches and Desserts. Staffed by friendly servers from take-out to the table, all English fluent with a menu to match, Coffee ranges 49-65 NOK including everything from an honest Espresso to a towering Mocha on Ice. Regarded by Relais Dessert International and Guide des Croqueurs de Chocolat, a range of Truffles lining shelves, Viennoserie is a mixed experience including a good Pan au Chocolate but soggy Almond Croissant while Flan a la Vanille consists of a good Crust surrounding soft Custard with evidence of pure Vanilla Beans throughout. More pricey for Entremet, available to go but plated with Crème Anglaise or Fruit Purees on-site, Pascal's Rhubarb Tart is artful in terms of taste as well as texture while the Feuilletine trends a bit sticky in the Caramel layer which makes cutting without a knife something of a mess. Perhaps best known for homemade Softeis, undeniably produced with top quality Cream and smooth as silk, diners may choose to add a number of toppings with Sea Salt Caramel and crumbled Macarons in a variety of flavors the most popular for good reason."
