With its upbeat interior, Bacalao offers leafy, innovative
salads (Nkr135 to Nkr155), sandwiches and some equally creative pasta dishes; the
hot
rekepasta
(hot shrimp pasta; Nkr165) will set your taste buds tingling. Bacalao also ex-
presses what must be about the best coffee anywhere in Norway, a country that so often
settles for watery black brews.

dining in a more intimate ambience with a set menu (from Nkr435) of between three and

Kjøkennet, originally
a shack for salting fish and nowadays furnished like an old-time kitchen, is a wonderfully
cosy place to dine. The cuisine is just as traditional and the recommended menu choice is
of course fish - try the kitchen's signature dish,
boknafisk
, semidried cod with salted fat
and vegetables.
