Egon Restaurant (Oslo, Norway)

Karl Johans Gate 35, 0162 Oslo, Norway

Egon Restaurant is a Norwegian chain of some 25 American-style restaurants throughout the country. It has a big and broad menu, mostly combining Italian and American dishes: pasta, pizza, burgers, salads, and steaks. I visit the one on the most touristic street in downtown Oslo.

I get the Egon Burger (NOK 225 or $27): a 160g burger with mushrooms, onion, bacon, and pepper sauce as well as a side of fries. The burger has a great taste, but more like eating a soft pepper steak on a soft and delicious bun. The fries taste a bit old and bland.

 

VERDICT: 84/100

It is expensive, even for Norwegian standards, but this might be in part because of the location. Overall pretty good food and the Egon Burger is original.
