You can find Smalhans in Ullevålsveien in the neighbourhood of ST Hanshaugen.
This space has housed several restaurants since 1921

Smalhans, a natural hub in the neighborhood of St. Hanshaugen, has focused on sharing meals, natural wines and a large selection of beers since opening in 2012.

 This makes our restaurant a perfect meeting place for most occasions
Smalhans - means "scarce way of life" and was the inspiration on how Smalhans came to be. For us, this means finding suppliers who deliver quality produce at the right price, utilizing the raw materials to the full and really seeing the value in something that others see as worthless.

We love finding new ways to use nature's beautiful products and, in this way, stay relevant in the fantastic industry we work in. In 2015, we were so lucky that the Michelin guide gifted us the award "Bib Gourmand" which stands for exactly what we have worked for since the start in 2012, to serve good and tasty food for less money.

Today the kitchen is run by Mads Ekrheim and the restaurant by Rikard Gunnarson. Smalhans offers 2 different concepts during the day, today's home cooked - a single dish that is most often shared on the table, and our evening concept with set menus.

We welcome everyone to Smalhans and into our world of food and drinks.

Reservation for parties

At Smalhans you’ll will be met with a slightly different dining experience than you are used to. You will not find the typical 3, 7 or 10 course menu or wine menu, we’re fond of a more social form of serving. That means that the food will be served on sharing plates to be passed around the table, and also that the dishes will arrive at the table continuously from the kitchen, in the appropriate pace.
When booking a table for a party of seven or more, we wish to have the reservation at least two days in advance, where the party will agree on the same menu. You can also preorder the beverages so that these are ready for you.
We offer two menus for bigger parties:

  • Krøsus, 825 NOK (a full menu for a complete night out)

  • Smalhans, 645 NOK (a shorter version of Krøsus)

We will at all times use the best and freshest produce available and in season. If there are any allergies or special needs we need to know about, please inform us.
We kindly ask to know the right number of guests before 12:00 am the day of the reservation.

LEILIGHETEN/THE APARTMENT

Leiligheten is a private room furnished with second hand furniture that gives a cozy atmosphere. Entering this room feels a bit like visiting someone’s home. Be kind to the interior, as it has had a long life and gets easily worn down or broken.
The ideal number of guests in Leiligheten is 12 - 14 as you can fit comfortable around the table. The maximum amount of people in Leiligheten is 20, then you will be placed on two tables.
The room can be used for meeting during the day, for family dinners, parties or other events.
The room is equiped with a television which can easily be connected to a computer, a record player with many LPs and wi-fi. If you wish to use the record player, we encourage you to put the records back in their sleeves and take good care of them so that as many as possible can listen to them after you. You can find the most common channels on the TV, as well as some other sports events.
We offer both lunch and the dish of the day (‘dagens husmann’) in Leiligheten during the day.
During the evening, the entire company has to order the ‘Krøsus’ menu.There is only one seating pr night in Leiligheten.
