I read up on the other reviews before we came here, and I largely agree with the majority. And in all I was positively surprised, and this is a decent place if you’re looking for a good seafood platter and a nice view of the water. The food: 6 people had 4 large seafood platters and 2 linguine with lobster sauce. The large seafood platter is a bit pricey at around 1250 kr, while the small one is around 650 kr. The only difference is the mussels and the lobster, so you decide what’s important to you. Either way, the quality of all the seafood was impeccable, and everything was very tasty. The pasta was also very good, so much so that I’d order it again. The service: Well, several of the servers were quite inexperienced, and this really came to show when they tried to place all the seafood platters with corresponding mussel buckets on the table for 6 people. There was no way to fit everything, and there was A LOT of confusion and pointing and maybe getting an extra table or maybe not and who’s getting it or who’s not getting it. We played it safe with the wines and had the Hans Geissler Riesling for whites and a Gran Reserva from Rioja for the reds. Both were really good and fitting. The basket of bread was definitely too small, and when we asked for a refill it was returned with four measly, thin slices of white bread for the whole table. After asking for another refill this happened yet again and we didn’t bother asking for more. All in all the food was really good, and the service was mediocre, but not for lack of trying. The outside seating area is quite public but still cozy and you have a view of the water. Nice bathrooms inside, down the stairs. I think I would come back here.

Louise Restaurant & Bar is a standout dining destination in Oslo, offering a refined yet welcoming atmosphere that perfectly complements its prime location along the vibrant Aker Brygge waterfront. Specializing in seafood, this restaurant delivers an exceptional culinary experience, with dishes that highlight the best of Norwegian ingredients and culinary traditions. The seafood at Louise is truly the star of the show. The seafood platter is a must-try, showcasing an impressive assortment of the freshest catches, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Each component, from the succulent oysters to the perfectly cooked shrimp and mussels, is a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to quality and freshness. Among the standout dishes, the halibut with lobster sauce is a particular favorite. The halibut is expertly cooked, tender, and flaky, while the rich, velvety lobster sauce adds a luxurious touch that elevates the dish to something truly special. It’s a harmonious blend of flavors that leaves a lasting impression. For those who prefer land-based fare, the steak at Louise is equally outstanding. Cooked to perfection and served with a side of your choice, the steak is juicy, flavorful, and showcases the same high standard of quality as the seafood. It’s a dish that meat lovers will appreciate for its tenderness and depth of flavor. The meal at Louise wouldn’t be complete without indulging in their dessert offerings. The tiramisu is a standout, striking the perfect balance between lightness and richness. The layers of coffee-soaked sponge, creamy mascarpone, and a dusting of cocoa make for a delightful end to a memorable dining experience.

14 April, I went to Louise restaurant with some friends and my little 9 months old son, Luckily we got a place for dinner, as the restaurant was very popular and busy . The staff were very polite and friendly, they looked after us and always made sure my son was comfortable and enjoying the dinner to. we order almost all the starters from the menu to share and to have a tasting menu between us which became a great ideia because all the dishes water very tasty and to go with that we had a lovely glass of red wine, which suited well. The seafood dishes were very fresh and delicious,the mussels was one of our favourite starters , the asparagus with holandês sauce was delicious and well presented too, the prawns also were very fresh and well cooked and also not forgetting the soup which was top notch. For main course we all ordered fillet steak medium rare well cooked and well presented too, and the fondant potatoes was lovely, the stuffed mushroom was wonderful, it’s definitely a recommended dish . For dessert we order the house cookie dough dessert and it tasted great and also we ordered the most incredible brown cheese ice cream and the Amalfi sitronkrem dessert was very refreshing and wonderful with full of flavour definitely my favorite one .

Open late!!! Thank you for taking us! It was amazing! The food was phenomenal The service was phenomenal, we were the last people there lol The cocktails were grosss (sorry), they didn't have a lot of the bottles that were needed to make certain drinks because it was after New Years. They ruined a simple old fashion twice lol. I had to tell them no thank you in the end, I felt a little bad but it was just bad. I ended up ordering a bottle of wine, can't go wrong there right. I ordered the carpaccio of Norwegian with beef tartar. It was amazing. Bufar from valadres cheese, fermented apple, sunflower seeds, porcini cream.... and what was a little strange and I'd rather not have it on my food was the Carmel popcorn. As for my entree I ordered the salmon which came with petite pois purse and potatoes. It was perfect. There are some amazing looking restaurants on the pier but since it was soo late and after new year, points for being open and feeding us! The ambiance is very fancy feeling hahaha The venue has a kind of nautical theme/ classic steakhouse restaurant. I would say good for business or pleasure Compliments to the chef on all our dishes.

I went to eat at Louise restaurant because a few days ago it was my birthday, and many friends had recommended it to me, the food and the hostess service were very good, until a waiter arrived. He obstinately tried to be friendly, but he was very disrespectful and daring to ask what country I was from. Why do people like you dress like that? I didn't understand what he meant by “people like you.” , I don’t know what but because I was dressed in light colors and had a different hairstyle, I was judged by the waiter. He was very insistent wanting me to answer him, (when his obligation is to make diners feel welcome to the restaurant), in the end he made everyone who was with me uncomfortable. In the end the waiter was asked for the bill, who just came and threw away the terminal and didn't even say goodbye, he just went and threw away the payment terminal and left. I'm afraid I must say that my experience was very uncomfortable, no one should be judged by their clothing or “look”. (The waiter was the bald one with glasses) Thanks.

I recently had the pleasure of trying the open seafood sandwiches at this Oslo gem, and it was an exceptional culinary experience. The fresh seafood, especially the prawns and gravlaks, was simply divine. Every bite burst with the flavors of the ocean, expertly balanced with creamy sauces and vibrant vegetables. The presentation was artful, and the toasted bread added a delightful crunch. But what truly stood out was the authentic taste of Oslo's seafood scene. This place captures the essence of the city's coastal charm and culinary traditions. If you're in Oslo and looking for a taste of genuine Norwegian cuisine, I highly recommend stopping by for their open sandwiches. It's a treat for seafood lovers and a must-visit when exploring Oslo's culinary delights!
