Sit around the elegant oval bar for what's widely considered Oslo's best sushi. You can order à la carte, but most regulars go the omakase route (the chef's selection; 1150kr); whichever you decide, expect perfection if not innovation. Dishes feature the very best of Norwegian seafood prepared simply alongside signature dishes such as the tempura salad and au gratin lobster.
