6 June - raw salmon and reindeer

After expensive lunch and dinner over the past couple of days (practically double the price of the UK), we go for just sandwiches for lunch, plus a few coffee and cake stops as it’s turned rainy. Tris has a fancy for some reindeer before he leaves tomorrow, so we find a traditional Norwegian restaurant for dinner – the oldest in Oslo apparently; Engebret cafĂ©. It’s old and dark, with a very different vibe to the trendy waterfront, but the service is excellent and the food just what we’re after. I start with a selection of raw, marinated salmon done in various different and delicious ways and Tris has the pickled herring he’s been wanting. Then we both have reindeer tenderloin with a rich red wine and berry sauce; a great end to a foody weekend in Oslo.
