Solsiden Restaurant
About
Solsiden Restaurant, inaugurated in 1993 by seafood enthusiast Lars Jon Amundsen, sits on the picturesque Akershusstranda in Oslo, just below the historic Akershus Fortress. The venue offers an intimate ‘casual upscale’ dining experience, featuring a menu built from the freshest local fish and shellfish, with a signature highlight: the Plateau de Fruits de Mer—a generous platter of lobster, scallops, crab, mussels, and shrimp. With a view of the sunset over Oslo Fjord, diners can enjoy the water’s edge while sipping one of the 250+ wines curated to complement the fresh catch. The restaurant operates Monday–Saturday from 4:30 PM to 9:30 PM (16:30–21:30), offering both indoor and terrace seating, and caters to families, couples, and food connoisseurs seeking authentic Norwegian seafood.
