"The Eik team's gourmet room inside Hotel Continental — book Eik Annen Etage for a weekly-changing menu and a power table in central Oslo."
About Eik Annen Etage
Eik Annen Etage sits on the second floor of Hotel Continental — Oslo's family-owned grand hotel, a member of the Leading Hotels of the World — above the landmark Theatercafeen on Stortingsgata. The team behind Restaurant Eik, a Michelin Bib Gourmand kitchen, took over the hotel's long-running gourmet room and reworked it into a warmer, modern fine-dining restaurant while keeping its institutional address.
It stands among the capital's strongest tables. Compare the seventeenth-century Statholdergaarden, the two-star Maaemo and the one-star Kontrast, or browse the wider fine-dining picks.
The Kitchen
The menu changes every week. Diners choose a three-, four- or five-course menu with an optional matched wine package, built around the best ingredients available that week, alongside a short list of classic dishes the kitchen keeps on. The cooking is refined and generous rather than avant-garde, the Eik team's calling card — very good food at a fair price, the ethos that earned the group its Bib Gourmand.
It is moderate by Oslo fine-dining standards: a set three- to five-course menu with wine pairings offered, a gentler bill than the city's starred rooms for cooking at a serious level.
The Room
The room is warm and classic — a comfortable second-floor dining room within the Continental, paced for an unhurried dinner, with a chambre separee that seats up to nineteen for a private party. Service is polished and well-drilled, the kind that suits a deal as easily as an occasion. The mood carries the institutional weight of the hotel beneath it.
Not for
Not for diners chasing a boundary-pushing tasting menu or a casual budget meal — this is a classic hotel gourmet room built on refined cooking and a central power-table setting.
