Foodflirt AS: The Company Behind ASIA and Frenchie Restaurants

Foodflirt AS is the holding company of ASIA, Frenchie Solli plass, and Frenchie Frognerparken. Behind Foodflirt stands Drueklasen, a company responsible for launching and establishing several successful restaurants, including Olivia, Åpenbar, and Druen. With extensive experience in the restaurant industry, we are highly active and engaged in the operations of our restaurants.

When you work in our restaurants, we strive to ensure you have a positive and rewarding work environment. Our goal is to be the preferred employer in the restaurant industry, offering internal programs to improve employee health and provide opportunities for career growth within the company.

Our Restaurants

ASIA opened its doors at Aker Brygge in October 2014. One of Oslo’s largest restaurants, it features 600 seats during the summer season. We serve South east Asian dishes with our own signature twist —tempting and exotic flavors designed for sharing, though they can also be enjoyed individually. ASIA leads the restaurant industry in sustainability, certified as an Eco-Lighthouse and recognized by the UN's Climate Neutral Now initiative.

Frenchie Solli plass, launched in August 2020, has quickly established itself as a popular neighbourhood bistro and a vibrant part of Oslo’s restaurant scene. Frenchie is a “Borderless Bistro,” where we play with flavours and ingredients not typical for the french cuisine. As well as the decor to create a lively atmosphere for both guests and staff. The restaurant accommodates 110 indoor seats and over 100 outdoor seats during the summer.

Frenchie Frognerparken, the latest addition to the Frenchie family, opened on May 9, 2023. Like its Solli plass counterpart, it is a “Borderless Bistro” with 200 indoor seats and more than 120 outdoor seats.

Sustainability

At all our restaurants, we are passionate about treating our environment and surroundings with care and constantly strive to be as sustainable as possible. This is reflected in our choice of suppliers, the products we use, and how we prepare and serve food and beverages. We are committed to minimizing and reducing waste, lowering our carbon footprint, and offering responsibly sourced food.

All our dishes are labeled with their carbon footprint, showcasing our transparency and providing detailed information about our products. Additionally, we offer a wide range of plant-based options at all our locations.

Foodflirt is dedicated to creating great dining experiences while fostering a sustainable and inclusive future.
