Restaurants🍽️

Ostebutikken

Arguably Oslo's coziest dining spot, offering an intimate, heartwarming atmosphere and unforgettable neighborhood charm.

200 Gastrobar

Exceptional sharing plates paired with an incredible atmosphere and vibrant energy. The ultimate spot for a memorable evening with friends. And it’s dog friendly!

Rikkes hage

An enchanting garden patio boasting an exceptionally cozy atmosphere, now elevated by a brilliant new culinary team. The ultimate retreat for relaxed outdoor dining.

Frognerseteren Restaurant

A dragon-style timber lodge from 1891 at the top of metro line 1 — apple cake with a view over the whole fjord, ski tracks outside the door, and the Korketrekkeren toboggan run just below.

Theatercaféen

Vienna-style grand café from 1900 opposite the National Theatre — white tablecloths, a live pianist on the balcony, and a century of Oslo's artists on the walls.

Lorry

A gloriously cluttered 1870s restaurant by Slottsparken — oil paintings to the ceiling, waiters in aprons, and a menu that hasn't chased a trend in living memory.

Smalhans

St. Hanshaugen's all-day neighborhood kitchen — hverdagsmat done properly at communal tables, from morning coffee through a nightly set dinner that changes with the season.

Kampen Bistro

A neighborhood bistro in Kampen's wooden-house village that people cross the city for — blackboard menu, natural wine, and the warmth of somewhere that belongs to its street.

Restaurant Schrøder

A wood-panelled Oslo institution from 1925 serving brown-sauce classics without irony — and the regular haunt of Jo Nesbø's detective Harry Hole.

Maaemo

Norway's only three-Michelin-star restaurant — Esben Holmboe Bang's hyper-seasonal tasting menu, served like theatre. The country's most ambitious meal, priced accordingly.

Oslo Street Food

Sixteen kitchens inside the old Torggata bathhouse — the city's biggest food hall, loud and easy, with something for every appetite until late.

Vippa

A street-food hall in a harbor shed at the tip of Vippetangen — a dozen global kitchens, long shared tables, and the fjord starting just past the door.

Mathallen Oslo

Oslo's original food hall in a 1908 iron foundry on the Akerselva — thirty-odd artisan stalls, importers and counters under one roof. Come hungry, leave with groceries.

Olympen

A 1926 beer hall with chandeliers, dark wood panelling and one of the city's longest beer lists — Grønland's grand old dame, still packed a century in.

Brutus

Natural wine with a kitchen that outcooks most restaurants — Tøyen's proof that a wine bar can be both serious and loose at the same time.

Koie Ramen

Casual ramen shop serving tonkotsu and shoyu with housemade noodles — walk-ins only.

Hos Peder

Grünerløkka neighborhood restaurant by chef Peder Salomon Bild Borstad serving French- and Mediterranean-inspired cooking.
