Mitt Oslo - The Nighthawk Diner



Siden jeg og Vegar nettopp har vært å spist søndagsmiddag der så passer det fint å åpne et nytt kapittel i 'Mitt Oslo', som denne gangen er et spisested på løkka. Inspirert av Tom Waits plate 'Nighthawks at the Diner' startet Jan Vardøen opp en diner i amerikansk stil og med amerikansk meny på løkka i 2010 og som alt annet han står bak så er dette stedet gjennomført til fingerspissene. Alt fra radioene som er skrudd opp på veggen til jukeboksen til viftene i taket gir deg følelsen av å befinne deg i en amerikansk film et sted på 90-tallet.

Maten er så klart også hel-amerikansk og du kan for eksempel velge deg en burger, sandwich, T-bone steik eller pannekaker med lønnesirup og bacon. Smaker godt gjør det og på toppen er det en ekstra liten bonus at all maten de serverer her er økologisk.

Mitt tips til en vellykket middag er å bestille en av sandwichene som kommer med kanskje verdens beste coleslaw og en pistasj milkshake. Nam nam!

Servicen er visst litt så som så om man skal tro restaurantanmelderne, men de titalls gangene vi har vært å spist der så har vi i så fall vært heldige for vi har bare møtt blide og hyggelige servitører hver gang.

Takk for mat lillebror!



Since my younger brother and I just came back from a nice Sunday dinner there this is a good time to open a new chapter in ‘My Oslo’ 
- which this time is a restaurant on Grünerløkka.

The owner got the inspiration to this restaurant from the Tom Waits album 'Nighthawks at the Diner' and made it as a replica of an American diner. Everything from the interior to the waitresses’ uniforms to the menu reflects that and you even have a jukebox standing in the corner to complete the illusion.

The food is also authentic diner food and you can pick between burgers, sandwiches, T-bone steak or pancakes with syrup and bacon. It all tastes great and as an extra bonus all the food is organic!

If you ever find yourself here I can recommend the Club Sandwich (which comes with the best coleslaw ever!) and a pistachio milkshake. Yummy!
