Restaurant capacity 180 persons Südøst is situated on the outskirts of the trendy, former working-class district of Grünerløkka, overlooking the river Akerselva. The spectacular premises, which served as a bank between World War I and the late 1970s, measure six metres from floor to ceiling and have two bare brick walls. At the far end, beyond the centrally positioned bar and the open kitchen, are two open fireplaces. It is here, on a bed of Norwegian birch charcoal, that the chefs roast the organic pork that has become Südøst’s signature dish. Thanks to the fact that the pigs, who are specially reared on behalf of the restaurant, are fed with shallots and juniper berries, the meat has a distinctive taste that makes it especially suitable for roasting. In 2007, Südøst’s sun-soaked terrace by the river Akerselva underwent a renovation. It was subsequently declared Oslo’s best open-air bar and restaurant. New awnings and a large well that was converted into an open fireplace brought an intimate and inviting feel to the large area. Patrons can choose between ordinary tables, long tables and a more relaxed lounge area. All tastes are catered for, without it being inharmonious. And this can be said to summarise Südøst’s general concept. Welcome!
