As a foodie and neighbor a five minute walk away, I have visited Lysebu many times over the years. Before covid my son has attended cooking classes here, and it was a place to enjoy a local gourmet experience and the best beer in town....It had produce from the hotels greenhouse, forrest, beehive or chicken coop. The chefs also sourced produce from the areas around and cooked the most wonderful dishes. They also used to have a very engaged crew of chefs with beer or wine makers dinners etc. Our experience here today was ok, but not the gourmet experience I have experienced so many times before. One thing is the food. But also with the knowledge of the sommelier or waiter explaining the choices, or just the expected minimum of the waiter explaining the courses at all, was missing. The food and wine was slapped on the table with no explanation. We soon learned that the reason for the menu staying at the table, was because you need to read it every course to make sense of the wine pairing. portion size of food and wine was more generous than before. Like a taverna. But having a five course meal, less is sometimes more. I could not eat all the food. To the foods The first course of cod was well balanced and really delicious. The second dish was also ok, but wine leaves and cheese has little to do with local produce. The main dish of pork was so dry I never made it to the goose liver in center (not a very contemporary/animal welfare choice either so ok to miss) The waiter never asked why we didn’t eat it. She did however remove the plate of the second course I liked before I had finished it. Dessert was really good with a grey combination of the white chocolate and perfectly balanced sorbet with crunchy crumble. The same was the wine pairing, but the waiter had little enthusiasm and knowledge. The main star of the show this time was the wine pairing saving the main course of drenched dry meat and cold potatoes. Sadly we never got to know who the sommelier, or got the explanation of why this particular wine was chosen to the dish. Last time we came the sommelier owned the restaurant floor and engaged with all the tables. I could not see him here today. A ok hotel restaurant, but used to be so much more. We will try again when the next chef arrives. Maybe we can enjoy syrup of fresh pine sprouts in weird combinations of meats and veggies, whole grilled pork from the grill outside, or all the other exciting food experiences we have had before again. It would be marvelous and we would come back! We will keep an eye of the veggie garden. It is a mirror of what to expect inside the restaurant.More

No vegetarian choice at all. The waiter was nice but kept on forgetting our drink order (we were a table of 2). No sparkling water. Food was really salty and average for the price. I was disappointed because I had expected quality and finesse but...it was salty and average. Both week meny and seasonal menu were very salty and I repeat, no one vegetarian option, not even a soup... Also if you stay there more than a night, it would mean that you will have the same menu all weekend. Restaurant should consider snacks for room service so you don't get bored with pricy average salty food. The room for the restaurant is not cosy at all even though with a view. It feels like you are at a corporate lunch meeting.More

I went here with a friend. Love the view. Ordered a Skagen toast, ate it and then ordered another just because the bread was sooo nice. Well worth a visit.

Wonderful midsummer nights in nature surroundings. Tasty food and drink with stunning view is more than enought itself! The manager should however know that he or she still have a job to do in training and educating the staff, which mainly comes from forreign countries....This proff training can be conducted in a short timeframe and the restaurant and kitchen might be up there among the best.. However, it seems that the turnover is high which indicates that there is a urgent need for better leadership at the hotelMore

I had been told by a friend that they have a great restaurant, and this same friend invited me to have dinner there. It was a great disappointment. The service was offhand and slow. To start with the maitre d kept us waiting for our...booked table while he had a long conversation with the waiter, and when he finally got round to showing us our table, then presented us with a very offhanded gabble about the menu. We chose a vegetable starter based on beetroot, or rather on one slice of beetroot accompanied by a small selection of slices of other vegetables spread over a large plate. We then had lamb which was so tough I could only manage to eat about half of it simply gave up on the rest. This accompanied by a potato croquette and a thin slice of cauliflower. At no point did the maitre d who was serving us ask if the food was all right ( something waiters in Norway invariably do) and did not even react when he cleared our plates away with my lamb only half eaten. We were given a glass of water at the beginning and were not offered a refill. We felt altogether unwelcome, and I shall certainly not be dining there until they change their staff! A real shame as the rest of the place is fantastic and the views from the dining room spectacular. Go there for the general ambience and the. view, but not for the food! I did not by the way make a complaint at the time, because I did not want to embarrass the friend who had kindly taken me there for a treat.More
