Every now and then, the view from a restaurant and the food are both fantastic. This was one of those lucky occasions. Have a look at a small slice of the Oslo Fjord, from a top the hillside.

The Ekeberg Restaurant produces tasty creations, perfect proportions, all in keeping with the active lifestyle of the Norwegians. You can enjoy three or four courses and really taste each one. There is a pleasant feeling at the end of the night, not a typical North American over-stuffed one.

I have been lucky enough to dine here on several occasions. Now as the years pass, my memories of the people whom I have enjoyed a table with are growing ever more fond. It was particularly nice to have some fellow Canadian guests last week.

I’ll never tire of having the opportunity to mix business and a fine meal.
