Kontrast
Norway
Kontrast in Oslo explores Nordic flavours through a contemporary set menu. Small-scale farmers and producers shape what reaches the kitchen, so the courses change with the available ingredients. Traditional preservation methods connect the abundance of summer with the leaner winter months, alongside influences from further afield. Fermentation and preservation are central to the restaurant's approach, with vegetables, cheeses, berries, mushrooms and herbs coming from carefully chosen suppliers. Wine and non-alcoholic pairings accompany the main menu. Two private dining rooms offer alternative spaces for groups, with a choice between the full sequence and a shorter menu. The restaurant is on Maridalsveien, in Oslo's former industrial quarter.
