More information on Sult

The bar here is called Tørst, meaning "thirst," and the restaurant's name, Sult, means "hunger" in Norwegian. In trendy Grünerløkka, the restaurant attracts lots of young people, as well as artists, writers, and what one member of the staff called "dreamers." No reservations are taken, but you can hang out at the bar next door until one of the small tables becomes available. With its stone floors, pale gray walls, and somewhat rickety wooden chairs, it might remind you more of a cafe than a restaurant, but a glance at its culinary ambitions will quickly dispel any thoughts that this is just a place for drinks. The menu changes every day, depending on what looked good at that day's market. But dishes are well prepared, and everything is made fresh. We've enjoyed beautifully grilled, fresh-tasting scampi, and a tender entrecôte with a savory Gorgonzola sauce. Endangered species or not, the menu sometimes features whale steak with red beets. Desserts are always a temptation: Our party ordered passion-fruit cream, chocolate cake, and caramel pudding (all shared, of course), finishing off with an Irish coffee, and were delighted with everything. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
