Number 36: Wrapped

Newly opened just a few weeks ago, Wrapped is fast food place with a difference. It is fast in the respect that your food is put together in front of you in a matter of minutes but not in the respect that many of the ingredients and fillings on display have been made by hand that very day (so in reality there is a lot of preparation behind each meal).

The menu was very self explanatory. You choose a dish, add a base, add a filing and then choose a topping. It was easy to understand and the staff were very enthusiastic and happy to talk about what they were doing and the ingredients they were using. It all seemed very healthy and fresh and once I had stopped looking for a knife and fork (its all finger food) I really enjoyed it.

The restaurant was very small and situated in a basement. It was actually quite cosy and they have tried to make it a feature. It is not a place you would sit for hours and hours, it is essentially street food... you eat and then you leave. The food was very good and well priced and I have a feeling that this place will become very popular.

Number 35 : Bee Kök & Bar

On most occasions when I have gone past this restaurant I have wanted to go in and eat but it has always seemed busy. On this occasion though I was in luck and having been recommended to eat here by a friend I was quite looking forward to check it out.

The restaurant was small but very cosy and was very fresh and modern. The atmosphere was young and lively and the staff were welcoming and attentive. Not the kind of place you would go to for a quiet meal, but certainly a place you would go to for something good to eat with friends. 

The menu was varied and offered a good selection. I was highly impressed by the food and it not only tasted good but was also neatly presented. I went for garlic bread and vegetarian pasta dish and it is definitely something that I would have again.

Number 34 : Bryggeriet

It isn't often that I venture out for lunch, but walking down Avenyn at midday presents you with many options to eat out. I ended up at Bryggeriet, the lunch menu looked simple and easy and offered a good choice for a reasonable price. The salad bar was fresh and I was actually quite impressed with the food I received.

It was very pleasant to sit outside in the covered outdoor section and the service was attentive and polite. I even had a look around inside and the restaurant was quite rustic and cosy. I ordered the lasagne... it tasted fresh although I was still quite hungry after I had eaten it. Next time I will stock up on more bread and salad to begin with. For the price I payed though, I shouldn't really complain. There are not many places around where you can eat lunch in the middle of city for under 100kr and still feel that you are somewhere a bit more luxurious.

Number 33 : Bitter

Bitter by name but certainly not bitter by nature. The food here was very nice. I chose a pizza and it was made just the way I like it. A nice crisp crust and lots of fresh ingredients on top.

I like the idea of Gastro Pubs and sometimes you can get some really nice dishes in a unique and unusual setting. Although the food was nice the menu I thought was quite limited. I would have preferred to see a bit of a wider selection and many of the dishes seemed similar to each other. The cocktail selection made up for it though and they were reasonably priced.

The design had a 60's touch to it and was neatly done. The outside seating was very pleasant and on a windy evening was protected and provided a nice eating area. The service was friendly and efficient.

Would I go back here? Probably not to be honest. Not that there is anything wrong with it, there was just nothing that made it stand out.
