Bagatelle was a French restaurant in the borough Frogner in Oslo, Norway.
Bagatelle first received two Michelin stars in 1993[1], and as of 2008 was the only Norwegian restaurant to achieve a two-star rating.[2] The restaurant lost one of its stars in 2008, though was restored as a two-star restaurant in March 2009.[3] In the 2011 Michelin Guide Bagatelle had zero stars, but regained a star in 2012.
The restaurant was led by chef Eyvind Hellstrøm, and was owned 96% by Christen Sveaas. Hellstrøm ran the restaurant from 1982 until December 2009, when announced he would be leaving the restaurant due to a long term conflict with Sveaas.[1]
Under Hellstrøm, Bagatelle served a cuisine that fused classical French technique with Norwegian ingredients such as wild salmon, scallops, king crab and game. Signature dishes included scallop carpaccio with sea urchin, lobster in orange-dill sauce, and wild pigeon with trompettes de la mort mushrooms.[4]
Bagatelle closed in September 2014 after having operated at a loss for several years.[5]
