Halling-Stuene

Top choice in Central Norway


This crimson-clad restaurant is just about as traditional as restaurants get in Norway, but it's been going strong for 25 years and seems as popular as ever. It's run by celeb chef Frode Aga, who cooks up rich, classic dishes such as skårapølse (lamb sausage in butter sauce), grilled grouse breast, herb-baked trout and reindeer fillet with game sauce.

The food will definitely be too rich for some palates, but there are few better places to sample the true taste of old Norway. Note that some dishes contain minke whale.
