Solsiden does it without surprises but very good. I was there with my wife and we had the 3-course menu. The menu doesn't offer anything super new and spectacular, but what it offers the restaurant delivers. We had excellent smoked mackerel, a good fish main dish and a good desert. We didn't try ot seafood plate that is supposed to... More

Trying to find a place that showed Oslo at its best in a nice sunny afternoon we reserved a table at Solsiden. We got a table by a window with a beautiful view of Oslo Fjord and the port. We chose the 7 courses meal for all of us. We did not regret it. Started with oysters, and moved to... More

No one beats the shellfish at Solsiden. Located just by the harbour, this is the place to go if you are willing to pay up for a special treat. Book in advance.

Had no reservations but hostess was friendly and immediately showed me to a lovely table. Appetizer consisting of scallops delicious - great combination with a little pork. Turbot was good but slightly more cooked than I would have preferred. Wine list is extensive. Lots of local businesspersons entertaining foreign guests. Service was friendly and quick. Prices were similar to similar... More

The restaurant is located by the seaside, in a more quiet are than Aker Brygge. Enjoyable on sunny days or to enjoy great food by the sea. Impressed by their food quality, and their service was great! Would love to return!

Have visited Solsiden on several occasions. Always happy there, but it is awfully hard to get nice seating (unless you are an "insider" I guess). Consistently good food, but service vary with the waiter - and more so than other places I like.

This restaurant opens later in the season and closes early - consequently they do not have the choice of the better Norwegian waiters. If there were more Swedish waiters then I am certain that the quality of service would improve and the arrogant waiters would hopefully disappear. Seafood is mediocre. Situation and view is first-class. When you put everything together... More

This will live long in the memory - sitting on a Friday evening with the sun setting over the fjord and waiting for the mountanous seafood platter that this restaurant is famous for. Superb, fresh seafood and some very nice wines to accompany it. Wonderful!
