Statholdergaarden

About

Statholdergaarden is Oslo’s flagship gourmet restaurant, housed in a historic 17th‑century building on Rådhusgate 11. Since 1998 the restaurant has upheld a Michelin star, offering an ever‑changing seasonal menu crafted by chef Bent Stiansen and kitchen‑chef Torbjørn Forster. The menu features carefully selected Norwegian ingredients, with an emphasis on fresh fish, shellfish, game, and locally sourced produce, complemented by a 10‑course tasting menu for diners seeking an immersive culinary experience. A private dining room accommodates 8–24 guests, while the adjacent Statholderens Mat & Vinkjeller provides a relaxed bistro atmosphere and a 10‑course menu that changes every six weeks. The cellar holds over 5,000 bottles spanning European classics and emerging New Zealand and Australian wines, with a dedicated selection for specialty ciders and local Norwegian brews. The restaurant welcomes guests from 18:00 to midnight Monday through Saturday (closed Sundays and all Norwegian holidays). Reservations can be made online via the dedicated booking page, and parties are encouraged to round up to a tasting or private menu for the full Michelin‑standard experience.
