Spisestedet Feinschmecker

My wife and I ate at Feinschmecker in 2018. I have been to many good restaurants since then, so I know this was not the normal level. My wife was pregnant, and when I asked for alternatives to raw fish, we got a condescending response instead of suggestions. When we asked for a non-alcoholic drinks menu, we also got little attention. Later, I ordered a glass of wine that had a cork in the glass. When I said so, it was first rejected before I was finally given a new glass. I took this up with the restaurant afterwards and only got a general response with no real apology. The food was good, but the service was not up to par with the price level or expectations of a restaurant of this caliber.

A little piece of France in Oslo, I highly recommend it! Can't wait to come back on my next visit!

Here is a free tip for the management: The dining experience begins when the guest sits at the table, not when they are waiting in the hallway. Our visit was a complete contrast. The kitchen delivered absolute perfection, but the arrival was a disaster. We were kept waiting 25 minutes past our booking in the foyer. We received plenty of verbal apologies for the delay, but they became meaningless the moment a waitress handed us menus in the entryway and tried to bully us into ordering our main courses while we were still sitting on the waiting bench. When I politely explained that I prefer to order at my table, she became visibly annoyed and tried to argue about kitchen logistics. I come here for the atmosphere, not to help you optimize your kitchen workflow from the wardrobe. This unprofessional, pushy behavior completely soured the evening. It is shocking that a place with such high culinary standards allows its front-of-house staff to treat guests like cargo. Great food, but I have zero desire to return to a place that doesn't understand the basic boundaries of service

Excellent! Eating here is definitely a unique experience and so much attention is put into every detail of it! Food is excellent, nothing more to say. Except, after such an exceptional meal and culinary experience I was a bit surprised to see that the coffee was just like your average grocery store or Nespresso coffee. A bit weird after so much though is put into everything else, and considering the coffee is the final thing you receive as well, so minus 1 star for that. My suggestion would be to consult with Tim Wendelboe, one of the best coffee roasters in the world that happens to also be in Oslo, and have them supply beans and set you up with a few of the nice Wilfa coffee makers and how to brew it properly. It would be a much better final touch to the experience, you could even present the details of the coffee to the customer as well like you did with each dish! :) Will be back for sure, but hope you level up the coffee before then! :)

Food is very delicious and service excellent.
