Lille Herbern is a seasonal seafood restaurant situated on a small island just off Bygdøy. To get there, you take the small ferry running regularly from Herbernveien at Bygdøynes, a short trip taking only a couple of minutes. The venue offers a maritime atmosphere with outdoor seating right at the water's edge. The menu focuses mainly on fresh fish, shellfish, and seafood platters. Prices lean toward the higher side, and since the spot is only open during the summer season with limited capacity, booking a table well in advance is recommended.

Located at Abildsø, Oslo Blomsterverksted offers a charming flower field where you can pick your own fresh cut flowers during the warmer months. Running from spring through early autumn, the field blooms with everything from tulips and ranunculus to vibrant dahlias and sweet peas. Equipped with shears and a bucket, you can wander between rows of colorful blooms and create your very own bouquet straight from the soil. The atmosphere is peaceful, scenic, and relaxed, providing a rural escape just minutes from the city center. Pricing depends on the number of stems or the total weight of your custom bouquet. Opening days vary throughout the harvest season, making it smart to check their schedule before heading out. This is a lovely activity for a weekend outing with friends, a romantic date, or a cozy day out with family.
