Latest Asker hotel reviews
Asker is a summer consicentous community and a local friend told me when I needed a part-size grill/BBQ that surely there must be someone renting out such ones?
So, through local research I came across the Vollen Grillservice also called Pose og Sekk, run by Christian Reffheng in Heggedal.
Cost of a medium sized grill (I did for 25 people), coal, delivery, cleaning and pick up was NOK 725 per day/night.
They can also do the actual provisioning of the food, the BBQing etc. also, but it is not a real catering company. Odd place, difficult access etc no problem.

Tveter Gård is a municipally owned farm at Semsvannet lake just above Asker centre. While farming jher is obsolete, there are other activities in tha area. Considered the most beauriful farm in Asker. The main market is the local one and they regularly hold Sunday dinners, special events, holidays and connect food service to their other cultural and sports activities. Linked to the reknown (in oslo area at least...) restaurant company "Sult". See web site for further details.
Favorite Dish: Specials vary from time to time and season to season.

Coopting a neigbouring municipality restaurant again, Skytterkollen serves excellent food. So good that people travel from afar to get here.
Serves up hearty meals based on game and fish. Their red deer steaks are great.
Need to prebook during weekends.
Located near a shooting range, and originally established as some sort of club house for the shooting club, it is now a restaurant and a day conference centre in its own right.
Excellent hikig nearby, and many people combine a day hike with dinner upon returning to the Skytterkollen car park.
Favorite Dish: Wild game, deer or roe deer preferably.

A local pizza restaurant that is not a chain store... They have been around for more than 20 years, so it cannot be totally off?
Eat your pizza there, take it home or have it brought to you.
Open: Mon: 16-22, Tue-Fri: 16-23, Sat: 15-23, Sun: 14-22.
Favorite Dish: Did not try it yet, but will do so soon!
Check internet for menu.

OK, got to admit it; I never went here.
But let me list it for future review:
Misto mixes a cafè and restuarnat concept, they do parties, Christmas buffets and catering, take-out, contains a delicatessen shop and food gift shop. How could I have missed it????
Favorite Dish: - need to try it out first...

After saying good-bye to our Mexican fav Mucho Mas (you still find their restaurant in Oslo), Kosmos has moved in on the same premises.
Aiming at being a family restaurant for a modern and well travelled clinetele, there isn't much that sounds like Norway on the menu. Nor do they seem to have much in terms of a food line. Very eclectic, in other words, and something for everybody, presumably. Very close to an American diner. Sort of place I think I would tire from, I like profile and ethnicity and strength in one direction or the other.
Favorite Dish: Tuna salad is good here!

Dolly Dimple's is part of a large internatinal chain and thus not very exciting, and rather predictable. But they do good quick dinners and very good pizza for the Askerianians ("askerbøringene").
They have a sit-down option, take home-option or they-bring-option.
Favorite Dish: Got to be pizza.

LATEST SAD NEWS IS THAT MUCHO MAS MAY NO LONGER OPERATE - LET'S HOPE THEY WILL RETURN TO ASKER, NOW LIMPING BACK TO OSLO; THIS WAS THE BEST PLACE TO GO FOR FOOD IN ASKER CENTRE!!!!! Mucho Mas is the only restaurant in Asker that features an exclusively Mexican-Californian menu. Aaaahh - I went to college in CA, so this will be my favourite when in town...
The loooong counter doubles as a stand-up or sit-high bar.
Everything on the menu is available as take-out items, too.
High ceiling gives it a different feel from what I find cosy, but I should focus on the food...
There are two of these restaurants, the other one is in Oslo. As the Asker one is fairly new, I found some reviews of the Oslo one that rave about their food, authenticity - "..decidedly the most Mexican in town..."
I hope that holds water - I just went in to have a look and a take-out menu.
Opening hours: Mon-Sat 12-01, Sun 13-01.
Favorite Dish: Their menu :
Huevos de la Casa
Tortilla varieties
Taco& salad
nachos
Quesadilla of the House
Burrito
Tostada
A hefty several-item dinner plate priced at NOK 103-149, ditto for lunch at NOK 97-126.
Children menu.
Refills for NOK 35 Desserts: cheese cake, chocolate mousse , carrot cake, apple cake, ice cream.
Not very original, any of it, but safe and sound? Looking forward to my next visit...

Thia is a pizza restaruant chain with some success all over Norway. Same menu as elsewhere in the country, thus a bit boring in the long run. But you know what you get, and that is of great importance to distrustful and food-conservative Norwegians approaching a table. All sorts of pizzas and sizes and side dishes and other items on the menu, too, that go a long way to make the entire family happy on a diner outing... Good place to bring children, after all.
Favorite Dish: Pepperoni pizzas, deep pan American style.

Chinatown - a very original name....
Serves up Chinese lunches and dinners.
Take-home service, drive-out service.
Indoor and outdoor seating.
Fully licenced.
Favorite Dish: Chinese food in Norway is not like Chinese food in China. But you cannot go much wrong with seafood and shredded meat wok dishes, sweet'n souts and chopsueys.
Nothing extraordiary here, but worth it if your craving goes this way.
