More information on Palace Grill

Don't be misled by the word grill: This is not a fast-food hamburger joint, but a chic rendezvous. Hip, sophisticated, and unwaveringly upscale, this is a posh but artfully battered neighborhood restaurant, near the Royal Palace, whose clients just happen to have included the crown prince of Norway. There are well-defined rules at this place: Begin with a drink in the high-ceilinged, cowboy rock-'n'-roll bar, which attracts both young-at-heart divorcees and status-conscious young singles. The restaurant, which lies across from the bar within a building that functioned long ago as an elementary school, contains only eight tables and a tiny kitchen, which bustles with a barely controlled creative frenzy. It works like this: Everything is made fresh for the day of your arrival, from scallops with burnt butter sauce and fresh ginger, to rare-cooked tuna with glazed beets, to breast of duck with red-wine-and-duck-stock sauce. Menu courses each cost 100NOK ($15/£8.20), and although the restaurant recommends that eight of them comprise a complete meal, you can stop them anytime that you've had enough. If you absolutely can't handle the long wait at the bar for a table, and if you insist on an advance reservation, you'll be eased into a satellite dining room, with its more conventional four-course menu. 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.
