Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

This is the Aker Brygge district's most appealing -- and best -- seafood restaurant. Opening onto the waterfront, the interior sports nautical accessories that evoke life on an upscale yacht. In good weather, tables are set up on an outdoor terrace lined with flowering plants. Menu items change according to the available catch, with few choices for meat-eaters. The fish is plentiful, served in generous portions, and very fresh. Look for culinary inspirations from Italy and France, and an ample use of such Mediterranean flavors as pesto. Old-guard diners don't find their tried-and-true dishes on the menu but are introduced to Norwegian fish enriched with various sauces and accompaniments, including grilled halibut with assorted shellfish and a coconut-flavored risotto. How about grilled filet of tuna with garlicky potato cakes, Parmesan cheese, and a red-pepper cream sauce? We were won over by the filet of trout poached in white wine and served with a tomato-enriched beurre blanc.
