More information on Hos Thea

This century-old building, once a private home, lies in a West End neighborhood 3km (1 3/4 miles) south of Oslo's center. Is it worth the trip? We thought so after a recent visit -- and so did a lot of foreign foodies who had read about this place in European gourmet magazines. The stylish, well-managed restaurant also attracts a loyal crowd of people active in the media and the arts. The waitstaff and chefs share duties, so the person who prepares your meal is likely to carry it to your table as well. Depending on the staff's mood and the season, the superbly prepared menu items might include medallions of veal served with beurre blanc and carrots. That was good, but it was bested by the breast of tender duck in a delectable red-wine sauce. Ingredients arrive fresh "from all over," including filets of whitefish flavored in a sauce laced with saffron plucked from the plains of Spain. The venison, which came from the north of Norway, was handled delicately and served with a sauce of mixed Nordic summer berries. 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.
