Fodor's Expert Review Klosteret
$$$
Oslo
Dinner
Modeled on a church cloister, complete with chanting monks and hundreds of twinkling candles, this underground lair dates back to 1899. (Its real history is more profane: it was a waffle bakery in the early 1900s.) A favorite for more than three decades, this Nordic-Germanic restaurant is a divine experience. Expect a heavy meal, with the seasonal menu focusing on meat and fish options served either à la carte or part of a set menu of three, five, or six courses, along with wine pairings. Smoked halibut and veal escalopes often make an appearance.
