Kontrast

One of just three Michelin-starred restaurants in Oslo, Kontrast was awarded a star in 2016, only a year after moving locations to the up-and-coming Vulcan neighborhood. Helmed by Swedish chef Mikael Svensson, Kontrast is an epicurean delight with a seasonal menu that might include grilled white asparagus glazed in juniper vinaigrette and King Crab from Finnmark with beer and flowering dill (most products are sourced from Norway). The cuisine can be enjoyed à la carte or as part of a six- or ten-course tasting menu, and is served in the sleek, minimalist dining room, featuring a concrete floor, exposed pipes and an open kitchen.
