31. July 2026

Are you someone who checks what the Vink girls recommend before heading out to eat? We've rounded up their Tjuvholmen favorites, so you don't have to search for them yourself!

Sjømagasinet - "Summer Dish of the Year"

⭐️5/6

Vink reviewer Erik Gulbrandsen highlights the pan-seared halibut as the best dish of the evening - perfectly cooked, topped with salmon roe, and served with a risotto that nearly steals the spotlight from the fish itself.

It's not a cheap night out, but the waterfront location and the kitchen's consistent quality make Sjømagasinet one of Vink's top-rated seafood spots in Oslo.

Hanami — Charming Location and Great Robata Grill Dishes

⭐️4/6

In Vink's review of Hanami, the location is one of the restaurant's biggest strengths. The restaurant sits harmoniously by the water, sheltered from the rest of the area, with lovely sea views. The review also highlights dishes from the robata grill as the evening's standouts — both the beef tenderloin and the whole roasted farm chicken are praised for their great flavor and fine balance of salty, sweet, and sour notes.

The sushi bar and Japanese small plates also deliver several highlights, including salmon with whitefish roe and a refreshing ponzu sauce.

New Delhi - Curry in a Class of Its Own

⭐️4/6

According to Vink reviewer Morten Schwencke, it's New Delhi's classics that truly impress. Palak paneer and butter chicken in particular are described as top-notch, with great balance and beautiful spice notes.

With a solid tandoor grill, great naan bread, and an atmosphere that draws people to Tjuvholmen even on weekdays, the advice is clear: stick to the Indian classics, and you're unlikely to be disappointed.

VIN Tjuvholmen - "One More Glass, Please"

⭐️5/6

Vink gives VIN Tjuvholmen a rating of 5 out of 6, praising the concept for being educational and welcoming. With over 100 wines by the glass and a detailed wine list explaining grape varieties, aromas, and producers, it's easier for guests to choose for themselves.

The lobster soup stands out as one of the evening's highlights, alongside the signature board of cheeses, cured meats, and pâté.

A cozy, atmospheric wine bar with lovely outdoor seating — perfect for those who want to learn a bit more about wine while enjoying a glass or two.

Kenzai — "A Fine Addition to Tjuvholmen"

⭐️4/6

The small plates are Kenzai's biggest highlight, according to Vink. The ebi tempura stands out as the best dish of the evening, alongside great dumplings and a solid Sichuan chicken. Kenzai opened in the fall of 2025 and fills a gap on Tjuvholmen with dim sum and wok dishes.

A cozy, romantic spot for those looking for something other than raw fish.
