A golden experience - a Norwegian designer does not live on oatmeal all the time

Since writing about Oro (and also Terje Næss´restaurant Haga) as a freelance journalist, I have wanted to dine at Oro, but spending all extra money on marketing literature and sewing materials has limited my restaurant visits at the present time.

This week, I visited it with the Miss Norway contestants, soon former Mrs and Miss Norway, the editor of the wine magazine Rødt og hvitt ("Red and white"), as well as Miss Norway organizers.

The starter is the best fish meal I have ever had: Salmon with fresh lemon cream. It was so tasty that picture taking was neglected and conversation stopped.

This was followed by more fall-ish chicken ...

.... and a fresh berry dessert, unfortunately hastily consumed beacause of latecomers combined with a tight programme:

Due to other tasks that night, only one glass of white wine was consumed (I cannot remember which, as it was not that memorable).

However, all in all I would give the meal 5 out of 6 points, placing it in league with inter alia Bergen´s To Kokker (5+), Fem stuer at Holmenkollen Park Hotel (5) and Ekebergrestauranten (5+), naturally beaten by my best meal ever - at Les Amabassadeurs (6) at Hôtel Crîllon, a $ 200 luncheon enjoyed in palace like surroundings and practically lasting until 10 p.m. What is below 5 is not very mentionable.

Best regards from someone that lives for pleasure.
