Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My wife's and my experience at Fjord Restaurant was extraordinary in the capable hands of Mr. Zeybek. He brought deep culinary knowledge as well as enthusiasm to the dining event. The dishes and soup were exquisitely prepared, and offered one of the best meals that...we have enjoyed anywhere in the world.More

The service tonight was cold. Colder than jumping into the fjord. The food was good, the wine flight was ok, for the cost though at least try to pretend to care .... Tables for 2 are in bad positions but the lack of customer care...makes this place sadly poorMore

It was a good experience and good food BUT why must they play loud and sometimes noisy music. We are there to eat and talk together, we are not at a concert. I asked the waiter to turn the volume down once, which he did,...but then the music was almost as loud again. Music in restaurants is unnecessary and ruined a lot of my experience. I don't need Pink Floyd and guitar noise when I'm going to enjoy a 5-course meal. Cut the music.More

I'll keep this tight, as everyone seems to be writing the same reviews that I agree with. It's one menu but you can choose between 3, 4 or 5 course. The fish cookery is superb and the wife and I took 4-course (skipped dessert) -...she loved the monkfish with risotto (as did I) but the main halibut for me was the star of the show. My teenagers skipped the risotto and went for dessert. Wine pairings were generous pours and very well chosen wines. Would I return? Absolutely.More

Dining at Fjord Restaurant is an experience that transcends mere eating. It's a culinary travel that takes you on a rollercoaster of tastes, each one an unexpected delight. From the moment you're presented with the 5-course menu, you know you're in for something special. Each...course is an adventure in and of itself, crafted from great products and enhanced by an innovative combination of spices and herbs. The chefs at Fjord have created a symphony of flavors, where every meal is a carefully composed masterpiece. But what sets this culinary journey apart is the perfect pairing of wine with each dish. The choices were sublime, turning each meal into an even more memorable experience. The wine not only complemented the food but elevated it, creating an interplay of flavors that danced on the palate. Fjord Restaurant isn't just about the food and wine; it's about the whole experience. The ambiance, the attentive service, the craftsmanship that goes into every dish—it all contributes to an evening that you'll remember long after the last course has been served. If you're looking for a dining experience that's truly unique, where every meal is an adventure, Fjord Restaurant delivers on that promise. It's not just a meal; it's a journey through culinary artistry, where the unexpected becomes the unforgettable.More

We are regular guests at the Fjord for many years. Apart from a very friendly and professional service the food amazes us each time ni.amtter what of teh year-spring summer autumn! Fjord is an exuisite restaurant with best sea shells ,fish and sea food. If...you vist with people who perfer continental food the meat choices / grill are as well spectacular. Sometime we order less just to have space for desert- there's nothing like Fjord pancakes or Apfelstrudel. And the best thing it all comes for a reasonable price! Fjord is the place where we enjoy the most in Istria.More

The five course menu was all cod and it was the best cod I've had. I never knew cod tongue or cod cheeks were a thing. Each course was better than the one before. Excellent wine pairings. A busy server did a wonderful job and...was fun to talk to. We even got a free round of champagne for having to wait just five minutes for a table to open.More

Food slightly above average, service very mixed (we were served by several different people, who ranged from pleasant and helpful to brusque and offhand), wine pairing merely acceptable but volumes poured were minuscule making it poor value. Cannot recommend.

Fabulous Norwegian seafood fine dining experience. We were looking for fine dining with a local flare. This restaurant was a highlight of our trip. We enjoyed a 4 course. The soup was the best, I usually don't like fish soup but this one was amazing,...creamy with various types of fish. Highly recommend to do the wine pairing with the menu, it was fantastic and found new wines I'll be trying again in the future. The service was also extremely friendly and efficient. 5 stars!More

A thoroughly enjoyable evening. Great food, beautifully cooked with really excellent wine pairings. The atmosphere was pretty relaxed and the service attentive without being cloying. All the food was good - but you should definitely get the butter-fried bread. Heavenly!

Hmmm. Over the past few years I have had some amazing meals here. This time was not at that level. I don’t know if this is a trend or if we were there on an off night. The atmosphere seemed to have changed from intimate...and cozy to something that seemed more corporate. While the servers were great, the overall sense was less personal. And the food, which had always been a highlight, was frankly disappointing. The main dish was supposed to be the halibut, but frankly it was inedible. The fish was soggy and the sauce overpowering and off putting. Small dishes beforehand and desert were very good, but I couldn’t eat more then a few bites of this. I’m not sure where that leaves me with regards to Fjord. I’m not in Oslo that often, so I’ll be looking at reviews before heading back to this restaurant as opposed to others ( and tbh that makes me a bit sad as this has been an absolute favorite in the past).More

Chef Richard is an outstanding chef and personable as well. He came out and talked to us between services and recommended a great restaurant in Bergen. The wait staff was excellent as well. Our waiter Burak, remembered us from the reservations we had made the...night before. He explained each course in accurate, understandable detail, very friendly too. The prix fixe meal was fantastic, from a salmon on rye creme fraiche starter, a soup with pickled celeriac and scallops and langoustines , halibut with fish roe and hake with red wine sauce. There were two tiers of paired wines, good and better. We chose the good pairing and were not disappointed. The dessert was also outstanding and all in house made- Pumpkin seeds, pumpkin cake and raspberry sorbet. This was one of our best meals on a trip of almost a month.More
