Rodins Bistro & Bar

The Spis take

A French-leaning bistro right on Karl Johans gate serving the classics: oysters, tartare, moules frites, bouillabaisse, duck confit and a well-regarded blue-cheese burger, with a decent wine and cocktail list. Reviews skew warm on food and cosy atmosphere, and it's a reliable central choice, though the tourist-drag address means you're paying prime-street prices. A safe, comfortable sit-down rather than a hidden gem.
