 A culinary work of art |
Sonja Henies vei 31 Oslo 1363 Norway +47 67 52 1020 http://www.bolgenogmoi.no |
Although situated in the Henie-Onstad cultural centre, this place is worth experiencing in its own right. The combination of fine art and excellent food is fantastic. The restaurant has been influenced by the contemporary art displayed elsewhere in the building: it is modern and stylish, but also contains a good dose of humour. The cuisine is exciting, creative and varied and the dishes are presented like works of art. The wine list is excellent and the waiters are keen to explain and advise you on your choice.

Over 140 years of tradition |
Bankplassen 1 Oslo 0151 Norway +47 22 82 2525 http://www.engebretcafe.no |
This low corner building dates from the 1700s, and the restaurant has been in business for more than 140 years. Situated right across the street from the Museum of Contemporary Art, it is within walking distance of the medieval Akershus fortress. Offering traditional Norwegian food, the emphasis of the menu is on Fish, but in the autumn there is always game. Coming here to eat the fantastic Lutefisk of the Christmas season is a tradition in Oslo. In the summer guests can enjoy the beautiful outdoor dining area. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The place to be |
Hegdehaugsvn. 30b Oslo 0319 Norway +47 22 60 7590 |
Not far from Majorstuen station, this place is quite easy to find, despite being quite far from most major tourist attractions. It is on the first and second floors above a restaurant, and has a cosy atmosphere with wooden walls and floors, nooks and crannies and a few small rooms with deep (if somewhat tired) sofas and low tables. There is also a dance floor or two, and a good bar. There are no admission fees, and prices are reasonable. This is a good place to hang out with some friends, or to see if the pool table is free.

Exquisite food in heritage surroundings |
Nedre Slottsgate 1 Oslo 0157 Norway +47 22 42 0107 |
Housed in a building built in 1641, this was the first town hall in Christiania, hence The Old Town Hall. In the summer you will enjoy dining in the large outdoor section. The bar has its own opening hours. The atmosphere is well suited to both formal or casual dinners. The menu is traditional and changes seasonally with a lot of fish and game. Here is a typical place to have lutefisk before Christmas. In the same building you will find Teatermuseet. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Legend on Karl Johan |
Karl Johans gate 31 Oslo 0159 Norway |
The café at Grand Hotel was a favourite of Norwegian painter Edvard Munch and playwright Henrik Ibsen (he still has his own table). Even if absinthe-drinking anarchists and crazy artists no longer frequent it, Grand is still an important meeting place and serves a fantastic prawn sandwich. You will find Norway's largest sandwich, pastry and salad buffet here, and the à la carte menu offers a wide selection of excellent dishes. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Intimate Oslo Pub |

Mahogany counters and plush, intimate booths make for a great nightspot. In the summertime the outdoor cafe is a welcome addition to the indoor impressionistic decor. The frequent live music makes Hannibals Hybel is a popular meeting place. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Traditional 300-year-old eatery |
Grensen 1 Oslo 0159 Norway +47 23 35 6370 / +47 23 35 6360 http://www.stortorvets-gjestgi... |
The building is 17th century and the food is good, in old-fashioned Norwegian style. During Christmas season, you cannot miss the traditional lutefisk. The first floor has a section reserved for private parties. In the summer, dine outdoors in the enclosed patio. Live Dixieland jazz is played every Saturday from 1:30pm in the café on the ground floor, which serves simpler traditional meals, cakes and sandwiches. On the other side of the square is Oslo Cathedral, built around the same time. Review © 2007, Wcities |
