Qué Pasa is not an ordinary restaurant. It is an experience where continents meet on a single plate. In the heart of Hamar, we serve food born from a life of travel - shaped by the raw energy of Latin America and grounded in the extraordinary produce of Norway.

The chef's vision: where two worlds meet
 

Head Chef Tomasz invites you on a journey where memories become technique and local ingredients become part of a larger story. Nothing is taken for granted.

Every dish begins with what Norway has to offer. Arctic fish from cold, clear waters, wild herbs, root vegetables that have ripened slowly through long winters. It is a larder of rare purity, and he treats it with deep respect.

But it is Latin America that gives the food its language. Chilli. Citrus. Smoke. Fermentation. A fearless willingness to embrace contrast and colour that cannot be learned from a cookbook, only from the markets of Lima and street kitchens of Mexico City, from a hospitality that tasted of something he already knew.
 

Tasting menus
 

The full experience - 7 courses - a carefully composed journey through the kitchen's full expression. Each course builds on the last, each element is there for a reason. For those who wish to surrender entirely to the kitchen and experience Tomasz's vision from the first bite to the last.
 

An introduction to the flavours - 4 courses - a glimpse into the soul of the kitchen, without taking the evening too far. The same ingredients, the same precision, the same philosophy - in a format that invites curiosity.
 

À la carte - for guests who prefer to compose their own evening, our à la carte menu offers the same depth of craft and quality. The choice is yours. The standard never wavers.
 

Wine pairing

Our gaze is turned toward Latin America's own wine regions. Chile's Central Valley and Argentina's Salta - places where extreme altitude, intense sun and cold nights create wines of remarkable tension and purity. Wines that carry the landscape they were born in. For each course on the tasting menu, we select a wine that speaks the same language as the dish.
 

For those who prefer to keep the evening alcohol-free, we offer a dedicated non-alcoholic drinks pairing – equally considered and composed.

Bar

Our cocktails are crafted with the same intention as the kitchen.

Each one built in layers. Each one driven by contrast -  the heat of chilli against the brightness of citrus, the depth of smoke alongside the lift of fresh herb. Rooted in the ingredients and rhythms of Latin America.
