Had these amazing two dishes at @nektarvinbar the other day! My first time there, and it definitely did not disappoint! I totally understand why so many people love it here. It’s a good vibe!

We got the anchovies-toast, and their forever staple, the Mac ‘n cheese. 🧀 Perfectly balanced dishes and a feast for the soul! Will definitely be back soon 😇 taken in Nektar Vinbar by @thomas.tastes

Long time no see!!! 🥪

I have no good excuse for my absence. Just got a little tired of posting, hahah. But now I’m not as tired, so I’ll update you on my «tastes» the past, and the coming, year! To begin:

My go-to’s at Løkka Deli the past year:
Cubano
Double patty melt
The Spicy Italian 🌶️
Breakfast bun with pastrami (muah🤌🏻)
And the classic Pastrami Reuben

Banging sandwiches all of them, but a special shoutout to the breakfast bun! Smaller, but oh so good.

Oslo has a lot of great falafel joints, most of them I’ve tried, but none of them have left me really craving for another wrap as much as @jamals.falafel has! As soon as I had finished my first “Falafel SPESIAL” I immediately wanted to go back!

The SPESIAL has crispy golden falafel fried to perfection, without the excessive oily outer layer, an incredibly creamy hummus. Nice and salty. It also has fried aubergine, pickles, tomatoes, radishes and herbs. Finally it’s topped with this super tasty tahini dressing to at just leaves you drooling 🤤

A huge plus is the super friendly owner and staff, and their effective execution 😍 Go get some for lunch!! taken in Oslo, Norway by @thomas.tastes

The pizza at @vesuvio_cafe is one of the best pizzas to get in Oslo, or even in Norway to be honest. The pizzaiolo here, @francesco_solimeo_pizza_chef won last years Norwegian championship for pizza makers, which just goes to show you that this is the place to get your pizzas.

We ordered two pizzas for three people, which was perfect for us. The first was the Nduja with fresh burrata. With the incredibly creamy burrata and an excellent spice from the nduja they created and impeccable balance in taste and heat.

The second one we got was their special for this specific month which was a carbonara pizza. Crunchy guanciale and crispy parmegianno flakes or chips on a creamy flavorful sauce. Mmm.

The dough and crust at this place without a doubt world class. Light, fluffy and soft, with a lot of air in the crust.

They recently opened a new restaurant in Bislett, which also serves pasta! I’m sure this will be just as great, and a big step forward for this excellent business! taken in Vesuvio Cafè by @thomas.tastes

This katsu sando by @katsu.oslo has been on my mind a lot lately. It’s been a while since i had the pleasure of devouring this beautiful sandwich, but I still remember how good it was. Incredibly juicy on the inside and an excellent crispy texture on the outside. The shokupan bread slices smeared with pork fat helps keep the softness of the bread as well as giving it a bit of char and crunch. Chef @_es.qu was kind enough to give us a little lamb chop on the side in this excellent Korean gochujang marinade. Sweet and spicy, and juicy af.

Have you ever had a katsu sando in Oslo? If not, this is the one to get! Available at @100oslo 🥪 taken in 100 by @thomas.tastes

Had the huge pleasure of eating at @liminaloslo the other night and was absolutely blown away by the food! I’ve heard so many great things about Liminal ever since it opened and have longed to make a visit!

One of the things that has been holding me back, besides being at work on nights and weekend, is that I’m not the hugest fan of seafood. Safe to say, after this 6-course meal, I was a huge fan. I was “ooing” and “aahing”, and at some point my jaw was even on the floor by the amount of flavors in these dishes!

My favorite dish has to be the clam, with a sauce that was to diiie for!! I could honestly just have it in a coffee mug on the side, and sip throughout the meal. Chef mentioned that the sauce contained used coffee grounds from @timwendelboe so I guess it would be fitting in a mug ☕️

Other notable mentions was the fermented potato bread (wow!) and the eel on brioche! Everything else was outstanding as well, these just made me 🤤 a little more!

I’ve heard they’re switching up the menu real soon, so I can’t wait to go back and see what else @litenkokk and his team will make me love! taken in Liminal Oslo by @thomas.tastes

Another post, another sandwich! We’re staying in Gothenburg for this one, and the wonderful guys over at @hasselssons_macklucka 🥪

This is their Mortadella, and I’ll assure you it is not only stunning to look at! Thin bread, reminding me of an Italian schiacciata, with a nice schmear of stracciatella topped with tomatoes, a heaping amount of mortadellllll, arugula and some great, grated parmesan! This is everything I want and more in a sandwich!! And it was so incredibly delicious!

A definite must if you’re in Gothenburg! This was at their Saluhall location, but they just opened another one by Skanstorget!! Make sure to get your fix!! taken in Saluhallen by @thomas.tastes

Ever since I came home from the states I’ve been missing a good bagel. So I crossed the border over to Sweden and went to Gothenburg to get my “bagel-fix” at @jimmyandjoansnewyork 🥯

I got the “Flatiron”-bagel, which is a poppyseed bagel with roast turkey breast, Swiss cheese, some tomatoes, red onion and lettuce and slathered with mayonnaise! A very good, large and filling bagel, that’ll leave you full for quite a while!

Recommend checking this place out if you’re ever in need of a real New York style bagel in Gothenburg! A big plus that the owner is a real New Yorker!! taken in Jimmy & Joan's New York by @thomas.tastes

I’ve been drooling at the pepperoni slice from @mamas_too on Instagram for way too long, so it was finally time to go and get a piece of my own!! This was two months ago, but I remember it as it was yesterday!

Sicilian style pizza with a crispy, crunchy outside crust and an airy, pillowy inside! Incredible texture in this one slice, wow.. I went with a classic pepperoni, but asked for some hot honey as well. Was first met with a “No, sorry, it comes as is”, but was surprised seconds later by a “Hey wait, we don’t usually do this, but here you go!”

My guy! Giving me the gooooods! And BOY was this a banger. Dang, that hot pepperoni was chewy with a bit of crunch and flavorful as heck! Excellent amount of yummy yummy aged mozzarella and a sweet and tangy fresh tomato sauce. I’ve gotta say, this is a step up from the other Sicilian pies I’ve had in this town, and the other more renowned and well known places need to step up their game!! taken in Mama's TOO Upper West Side by @thomas.tastes

My last breakfast in NY I was craving a BUSSIN’ bagel!! I had my eyes on @absolute_bagels that reportedly have some of the best this city has to offer! The reports ain’t lying y’all. I got two bagels, one sweet and one savory!

First I got a cinnamon raisin bagel with an insaaaane apple cream cheese spread. This bagel was a whole experience.. I struggled to contain myself. Sooo, so good! Sweet, creamy and chewy. MM! And they really respected ‘the schmear’ here, they did NOT hold back on the cream cheese spread.

The second bagel I got was an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and roasted turkey. This was also a banging bagel. Still warm with fluff and chew worth dying for.. The cream cheeses here deserve their own place in heaven, cause they’re just on an entire different level.

The bagels here are top-tier!! Baking all day long, super-fresh and delicious, with that right chewy texture! Cash only, so make sure you bring your dollars!!💵 taken in Absolute Bagels by @thomas.tastes

I’m a slave for a slice, and @lindustriebk might just have the best freaking slice I’ve ever had in NYC. Went here with a couple of friends, and we all agreed that this was on another level both in taste and quality!

I got the ‘Pepperoni, sausage and ricotta’ and the ‘Burrata’. Both were nothing short of delicious. The crust has the perfect balanced texture between chewy and crispy. You get the right flop when you hold it up, and there’s a little bit of char on the bottom. Mmmm. The sauce is not too sweet, and the toppings are just packed with flavah. Even the burrata and ricotta, which sometimes feel tasteless, has a richness to them!

The basil on top is just rhetorical cherry on top, and reason enough to check out this stellar NY pizzeria! taken in L'industrie Pizzeria West Village by @thomas.tastes

(After a couple of weeks of no posting I’m picking up where I left off in NY 🫶🏻🤩)

More sandwichess!!!!! Faicco’s in Bleecker St, NY, is the ultimate destination for sandwich enthusiasts. It’s been around since 1900, serving Italian specialties and capturing peoples heart! I went in and asked for the best selling sandwich, which naturally was:

“The Italian”

Okay, it starts off with laaaarge, sesame seed hoagie. I mean just check the second pic! It’s “forearm-big” 💪🏻 Filled with a hefty amount of meat - prosciutto, ham aand soppressata!! Then put in the middle is some sturdy mozzarella cheese, with lettuce, tomatoes and roasted peppers on top! It’s meaty, it’s fresh, and the quality of the produce is just top-notch!! So tasty!

This is a definite must if you’re ever in NY! But be hungry, and/or save some for later! It’ll leave you feeling satisfied and satiated, yet still wanting more! taken in Faicco's by @thomas.tastes
