Our Story
Bon Lío was celebrated as one of Oslo’s top restaurants, and recognized in the Michelin Guide.
The same team behind the former success-story now invites you to discover their newest culinary chapter: Cordial. Cordial is a neighborhood bistro in the heart of Frogner, where laid-back charm meets uncompromising quality. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a casual night out, this is the place for those who savor life through exceptional food and drink. Drop in with or without a reservation, for a single dish or a full meal, paired with whatever you’re in the mood for. The menu is crafted from seasonal ingredients, sourced locally whenever possible, and inspired by flavors and traditions from across the continent. Every dish is carefully designed to reflect what the team themselves love to eat. The name Cordial draws on the Old English word meaning “friendly, polite, pleasant” – itself rooted in the Latin word cordialis, which means “of the heart.” It also calls to mind the sweet, comforting drinks that carry the same name. At Cordial, the meaning is clear: It’s all about the heart-to-heart experience. Expect heartfelt conversations and laughter over heartwarming meals, served by a team who put their whole heart into everything they do. Reservations open from Friday the 5th of September. Be among the first to experience one of Oslo’s most anticipated new restaurant openings this autumn. The doors open in October, so mark your calendar and get ready to rediscover a beloved favorite in a fresh new suit. More details about the space and the menu will be shared soon.
