Lean and herby reindeer fillet, often roasted rare and served with juniper, lingonberry, root vegetables and a brown sauce reduced with cream.
Reindeer has been on Norwegian tables for centuries, originally from Sami herders in Finnmark and Troms in the north; Oslo's fine-dining and traditional rooms keep it on the menu year-round. The autumn slaughter runs October through January and the freshest meat reaches Oslo from the Karasjok and Kautokeino reindeer cooperatives. Lofoten Fiskerestaurant, Bagatelle and Statholdergaarden run the canonical version with juniper, lingonberry and root vegetables.
