Café Tekehtopa — Restaurant in Oslo

Dinner on two separate evenings. Opted for the same mains both evenings i.e. Seasonal Arctic Cod with a cripsy seasoned top. First night was sublime and so, for me it was the most attractive option on 2nd evening. Regrettably; on the 2nd evening, the mains was presented almost cold and without the crowning crispy topping. It was returned to the kitchen for a reheat but was served cold again and still without the feature topping. That was very disappointing and all that was offered in compensation was a small token reduction on the total bill. Not Good Enough – really !

Do I recommend Café Tekehtopa – Yes! Will I...

No longer a Turkish menu - new management, I believe. I've just eaten one of the worst meals I've had. Billed as 'classic' schnitzel. Schnitzel pieces very large, oddly-shaped,undulating and curly.

I've never heard of schnitzel made with beef, and this was substandard beef of a cheap, poor...

Café Tekehtopa was a splendid experiences January 2024 eating relatively short lunch (40 min max). Did it three days in a row, and alternated between their today’s pasta and soup. With a decreased ability to taste (probably due to an earlier covid or similar), I was recommended the dish with most flavours.

I enjoyed every meal. The service was great, and just small things like setting some chilli flakes that I could add to the food (last day), sees that they really had attentions towards my first day story about little taste. Impressive service.

The bread served as a teaser was great.

I will definitely use Tekehtopa next time doing public service in...
