Borggården Biffrestaurant — Restaurant in Oslo

The food used to be great, and is still good. I used to feel that it ALMOST was good enough to make up for the high prices charged for the food here, but changes made to the menu during the last year means I have to go for options I really don't care for.

That's not entirely true. This restaurant shares the kitchen with the restaurant next door, so if you ask nicely, you can order things that are not on the menu here, but available next door. Mind you, they'll somehow charge more for carrying the food through the door to this restaurant rather than to the other. Also, the waiter will probably tell you "You should really order the course the way we have put it on the menu. We know better than you what you like to eat. This is a NICE restaurant, and you're stupid", before you get your food. Not the best way to keep a customer happy, but I'm sure it makes the waiter feel better.

Go elsewhere, at least until the menu and the waiter has been changed. The value for money here is really bad as...

Borggården is located centrally in Oslo and specializes in meat dishes. We had a great time and lots of incredible food. The waiter was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about the different dishes coming with recommendations. They have indoor and outdoor seating and it is recommended to have a reservation in advance, especially if it’s a larger group. The food was delicious and all our preferences on how the meat should be cooked were followed precisely. I would definitely recommend going here for dinner and trying their potato gratin next...

Good for a quick bite before going out or seeing a movie. I just tried the carpaccio and entrecôte.

The carpaccio was marred by too much ruccola salad, but the addition of blueberries was interesting and worth a try.

The entrecôte was thin and more like a flank steak, hardly any marbling or deep flavor, like it hadn't been aged. A bit overdone as well, the same was true for my friend's beef.

The waiter was in a hurry and kind of stressed out, which was a bit weird since there were hardly any guests.

Plus for having barolo and amarone...
