The name of this 2014 waterfront gastropub honors Jacob Smith-Jarmann, whose 1854 engineering works built ships and steam engines in today’s Aker Brygge neighborhood. Original tools from that same workshop now hang on the walls, forming a unique backdrop for fish and chips with local craft beer.
Behind a glass wall, hanging greenery, black-and-white woven chairs, and rattan loungers make this Asian restaurant a modern refuge in the historic Kvadraturen district. The star of the menu is the namesake sushi bowl with sashimi and greens, backed by some 30 Thai dishes on a solid list of mains.
Some hundred species of fish and shellfish pass through this fishmonger over a year, sold fresh, smoked, cured, or marinated. As part of the Mathallen food hall, it also has a restaurant section where the open kitchen turns the day’s catch into fish soup, grilled dishes, and mussels in white wine.
