Liminal

Liminal is a small restaurant on Torshovgata with six tables and six seats at the bar. Dinner from Wednesday to Saturday centers on a seasonal set menu built around Nordic ingredients; the menu changes often. Sunday and Monday bring a smaller à la carte offering, and Saturday also has lunch service. The kitchen is small, so it says its ability to adapt dishes for allergies and other dietary needs is limited. Book ahead if you want to eat, especially for dinner. Drop-in at the bar depends on spare capacity.
