Mucho Mas

June 29, 2012


On our kickoff eve inwards Oslo, nosotros sought out Spisestedet. It's a decades-old vegetarian eating theatre inside a squat too nosotros were alone a petty surprised when it didn't aspect opened upwardly - why hold off a bunch of anarchists to choke along capitalist habits similar predictable opening hours? Thankfully during our wander we'd noticed Mucho Mas - Michael had their Grünerløkka branch on his listing but forthwith this ane inwards Majorstuen looked worth a shot instead.

The eating theatre was busy but the staff were happy for us to perch at the bar until a tabular array freed up, chatting equally they mixed drinks too recognising our accent. Later to a greater extent than or less other waiter offered to interpret the card for us verbally, but we'd pieced together around everything nosotros needed from Mexican menus by too the Norwegian we'd been navigating all week.


The ane mystery give-and-take nosotros needed translated was 'aromasopp' - mushrooms! Sautéed, they're an optional extra (35NOK AU$5.50) on the mains. I ordered them atop my nachos (115NOK AU$18.20 without) too though they were tasty, at that topographic point was to a greater extent than than plenty chips, cheese, beans, salsa, pico de gallo, guacamole too sour cream to materials me airheaded equally it was. Michael's burrito (115NOK AU$18.20) was filled alongside the same basics too rice besides. Both had a welcome hint of chilli heat.

The Mucho Mas card harks dorsum to the Mexican nutrient nosotros Aussies expected pre-Mamasita - your alternative of chicken, beef or beans served equally nachos, quesadillas or a burrito (though their specials card mightiness accept something to a greater extent than new for omnivores). Servings are big, flavours are dependable, staff are cheerful - it's all satisfying if non stimulating.

Den Gode Cafe

June 30, 2012


We started our outset amount solar daytime inwards Oslo at the Nobel Peace Centre, which is good worth a see - it has rotating exhibits (which included about wonderful photographs together with videos from Afghanistan) together with a bright position of permanent exhibits dedicated to the peace prize winners. There are a few pictures at the halt of this post.

The museum was together with hence engaging that nosotros spent longer at that topographic point than expected, together with left real hungry together with position for lunch. I'd tracked downward 2 nearby vegetarian places, last squat-based house nosotros tried to visit, it turns out that these anarchists were on about kind of holiday. Last fourth dimension nosotros rely on anarchists to feed us. No problems I thought, Vega is entirely a few blocks away. Vega Fair Food is, inexplicably, unopen on Saturdays (they at to the lowest degree field this on the website, together with hence this i was my error really).

By this betoken I was hungry, sick of walking together with getting pretty grumpy. And I had no fall-back plan. Cindy pulled out a duad of muesli bars together with nosotros walked vaguely inwards the direction of Grünerløkka, a supposedly hip together with cafe-filled suburb. We got nearly 200m downward the route together with stumbled onto this place: Den Gode Cafe (literally, The Good Cafe). Given the situation, I would accept been happy plenty if this house offered a single, barely edible vego dish, together with hence I was doubly thrilled when nosotros discovered a bill of fare amongst plenty for us to lead from together with an English-speaking staff fellow member who was happy to propose alterations to other dishes for us. Amazing.


I ordered the veggie burger (149NOK AU$23.60), which came amongst delicious chunky chips together with a piddling pot of creamy aoli. The burger patty was a crispy-fried mush of veggies (possibly amongst egg, flour or about other binders), amongst a melted slice of cheese on laissez passer on together with greens, love apple tree together with sauce underneath. I dunno if it was but my hunger, but it was pretty damn terrific.


Cindy ordered the 'pancake', amongst spinach, mushrooms together with feta (125NOK AU$19.80).


The 'pancake' was basically a crepe, together with was about other success - sparse together with nicely browned together with stuffed amongst a practiced mix of cheese together with veggies.

We were both together with hence grateful to accept stumbled across Den Gode Cafe that nosotros were almost sure enough to relish it. But it went good to a higher house our expectations - the staff were superbly helpful, the bill of fare relatively good stocked amongst veg options together with the atmosphere laid-back together with comfortable. Vegans volition in all likelihood fighting to detect much to swallow but the staff are real helpful together with would in all likelihood whip something upwards for you. For these vegetarians though, this house was an oasis on an otherwise frustrating hunt for a Sabbatum lunch.

Punjab Tandoori

July 1, 2012

On my final total 24-hour interval inwards Norway, Cindy in addition to I met upward alongside a few of her conference buddies in addition to went on a museum crawl. The national museums are all costless on Sundays, in addition to then nosotros striking upward The National Gallery, The Museum of Contemporary Art in addition to The National Museum of Architecture. The gallery was peculiarly impressive, but all were worth checking out, peculiarly costless of charge. In the afternoon nosotros wandered dorsum only about the harbour to the Oslo Opera House, which opened inwards 2007 (pictures below). By the fourth dimension we'd scaled the opera family in addition to wandered dorsum towards our hotel, everyone was footsore, hungry in addition to tired (especially the 2 of our grouping who'd flown inwards that morning). With no existent computer program lined upward for dinner, I turned to the trusty Lonely Planet, which pointed us inwards the direction of Punjab Tandoori promising us cheap, decent Indian food.

There's nix flash close Punjab Tandoori, it's a cafeteria-style place, alongside a big blackboard bill of fare in addition to loads of locals tucking into aromatic curries. We all took the uncomplicated pick in addition to ordered the veg thali, a silvery tray alongside iii curries, some naan bread, rice in addition to a salad, for a ludicrously affordable 70NOK (AU$11.10). This was comfortably the cheapest repast nosotros had inwards Kingdom of Norway - likely one-half the cost of the side yesteryear side most expensive.


And it was pretty adept - nix really complex or spicy, but a chickpea curry, a dahl in addition to a tomatoey mixed-veggie curry. The star of the repast was the naan - toasty in addition to fresh. Punjab Tandoori isn't going to give yous a peculiarly memorable repast but it's fast, tasty in addition to incredibly inexpensive (relatively at least). Well worth a visit.
