Take the pass,
or take the room.

There is one dining room and one fire, so a private booking is not a side room off the main service — it is the service. Which means we can do things on those nights that twenty separate reservations would never allow, and it means the dates are few.

Two ways in

The Pass

Six seats

Six stools along the steel counter where the plates are finished, close enough to feel the hearth. You are handed each course by the cook who made it, and the order of service bends to whatever came off the boat that morning. Not a quiet table — the kitchen works around you.

Per guest: NOK 2 450
Nights: Wed – Fri
Minimum: 4 guests
Notice: 3 weeks

A plated course of glazed heritage carrots and charred alliums, steaming under low light

The Room

Twenty seats

The whole of SÖL for one evening: twenty seats, one seating, the door closed to everyone else. The card is written with you a fortnight ahead — a longer menu, a course cooked whole at the table, a cellar flight built around bottles we would not open for a normal service.

Room minimum: NOK 58 000
Nights: Wed – Sun
Seats: 14 – 20 guests
Notice: 6 weeks

How it goes

A fortnight of correspondence, then one night.

You write with a date and a number. We answer with what the season will plausibly hold — not a menu, because it is too early for one, but the shape of it. Six weeks out we take the deposit. A fortnight out the kitchen has been to the market enough times to know what autumn is actually doing, and the card is written and sent to you.

On the night the door is locked at 18:30 and the room is yours until midnight. There is no second sitting waiting for the table, so nobody is ever moved along.

Terms, plainly

What we need from you.

To hold a dateTaken by transfer on confirmation. The balance is settled on the night.: 30% deposit
CancellationFull refund of the deposit up to twenty-one days out; after that we will move the date once, weather and larder permitting.: 21 days
Menu confirmedWe write the card with you, then stop changing it so the kitchen can buy properly.: 14 days out
Dietary requirementsAll of them at once, please, including the guest who says it does not matter.: With the booking
Speeches, cake, musicNo amplified sound after 22:00 — the room sits under flats. We have a small deck and it is quiet on purpose.: Yes, within reason
PhotographyAvailable light only. No flash in a room that dark, and no rigs on the pass during service.: Ask first

Prices above are per guest and include service and the cellar flight where stated. The seven-course autumn card is set out on the card, and what gets poured beside it is on the cellar page. For a private date, write rather than call — we are in the kitchen from mid-afternoon and the phone loses.
