Severely underwhelming. The issue is strikingly evidence. Watched the kitchen for about 20min after, despite all the food leaving the pass not an single person in the line tasting. Quite a extensive wait time between dishes for a half full restaurant. Someone needs to be expediting!! Started with the yaffle. Looked golden, thin yet somehow under cooked batter and soggy bottom. When I ate an orgasamable yaffle yesterday and compared to this. Not great. Variation of lamb. Accompanying salad with kale had enough sodium to give you stroke. The fried crumbed lamb was greasy enough you could squeeze the oil out. Wish the wait staff warned me that the dry aged entrecôte had the same serve of potatoes. The sauce for both dishes was too much butter and not enough reduction. The salad of small onions tasted like incomplete propane combustion. Whether that's the cause or not it is what it tasted like. Atmosphere was nicer in the other half of the restaurant. The seats are quite uncomfortable for a long sitting. Of which, there's no reason it should have been a long sitting. Priced like a Michellin two star. They’ll never get the first start for as long as they're not tasting what's being served!

An absolute and utter delight. Me and my gf went there and got a 8 course tasting sampler. We thought that the portion would be so small we would end up at los tacos to get fed but... It was more than enought. We came out of the whole experience absolutely stuffed, and its a 2.5h experience, not just a dinner. Its more than worth the money. Service is tailored to you. Food is absolutely georgous and if there is any form of criticism that I would have its that a hazelnut praline at served at the end would greatly benefited with a whole roasted hazelnut inside. Other than that its a definition of perfection. If you have any doubts about going there in first place then reserve 2 separate nights because you WILL want to come back there and any other dining experience will look and taste like a washed out aftertaste compared to this. Go there. And tell them you are polishthey will start speaking about pierogis, bigos and will send a polish server to you. Its absolutely great :D And pate was the absolute best thing there.

A very good restaurant in an excellent location near the Opera House and close to the train station. We opted for the 4-course tasting menu, which was very good. The wine pairing was excellent, but it was very expensive for 4 courses. The wine list was also very expensive, so we did dead the wine pairing. The courses got larger as the menu progressed. By the end we were too full to eat the last course. The entrecôte was so big that it was difficult for 4 people to share. The first course of soup and house-made ham was wonderful. I wish I had just ordered it as my whole meal. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. I simply feel the portion sizes were a bit weird and the meal took almost 3 hours for four courses. If I were to go back, I would order off the menu instead of doing the tasting menu.

Sadly I didn't know the name of the servers and a chef that had been super accommodating. As someone who has been working in the luxury hotel industry, I would say my dining experience was the best I had in a long time. I felt comfortable, being looked after and on top of that, the food was superb. My favourite was the pan fried hake with roasted cauliflower, the sauce was divine. It was very interesting to know how the ingredients were harvested and prepared, that was definitely a highlight. It was my last day in Oslo while dining, I could confidently said my holiday ended on a high note. The experiences and the people really matters, your team had done a really good job in conveying the camaraderie. I would remember Vaaghals as the gem in the heart of Oslo.

This appears to be some sort of a concept restaurant, a concept of Norwegian tapas , ie traditionally Norwegian ingredients served as tapas. Interesting and well presented, but not entirely well cooked possibly due to less than perfect raw food ingredients. Our companions at the table where pleased by the wine packet match with the food. I experienced a mixed level of service as different servants attended the table. At arrival the restaurant was not very noisy, but by the time we left we had to shout across the table to make ourself heard.

Modern restaurant serving Norwegian food. The menu is a little confusing as they are small dishes, but to share, and the tasting menu is just for one. The food was a bit hit or miss as some were delicious and others a let down, for the price I would expect a lot more. I recommend a 'main' and a starter style dish per person but the sizes of each item on the menu vary so it is difficult to judge. We ordered the reindeer heart but only after being served the food were told they were out and was replaced with cured meet.
