The 10 Best Restaurants In Oslo, Norway

Cafes, bars, restaurants and shops on Karl Johans gate in the city centre, Oslo, Norway

As Norway’s culturally rich capital, Oslo is packed full of boutique art galleries, architectural wonders and fabulous eateries just waiting to be discovered. To keep you in the know about where’s hot in this fast-changing city right now here is an updated version of Oslo’s ten best cultural restaurants that you need to visit.

1. alex sushi.

Often said to be one of the best sushi restaurants in existence, Alex Sushi has an extremely high reputation and yet never fails to deliver. All of the fish served here is as fresh as it could possibly be and the contents of the set menus changes daily depending on what has been caught that day. There are four set menus each with a different price tag and include dishes such as sashimi, nigri-sushi, maki, scallops, crab, tempura and lobster. For those with a smaller appetite or looking to try something unique, order a selection of innovative dishes off of the main menu instead. Diners can choose to sit at the boat shaped counter inside to enjoy a show of the chefs preparing the sushi right in front of them, or can relax outside on the docks of a fjord.

Chef Esben Holmboe Bang (2nd R) works in the kitchen of his restaurant Maaemo in Oslo, September 9, 2014. In an unfashionable part of Oslo, head chef Bang?s minimalist creations are stirring up food culture in a country where, a generation ago, the height

Diners will wish to set aside an entire evening to make the most of the set menu option at Maaemo . Constantly changing to keep locals coming back for more, the tasting menu features a staggering 26 plates of raw foods and sublimely simplistic reductions. Expect to sample innovative and slightly daunting dishes such as reindeer heart, spruce juice and fried rye-bread cream for a dining experience you are unlikely to ever forget. Maaemo earned two Michelin stars in just three years and from the quality and array of dishes on offer, it is very easy to see how they managed it. Although unlikely to become anyone’s regular Saturday night restaurant, Maaemo is a restaurant that everyone should visit at least once.

Inspirerende og spennende opplevelser

Syv spesielt koselige restauranter i Oslo

Noen restauranter gir deg mer enn bare et måltid. Her er spisestedene som er skikkelig koselige, har lunt interiør, pulserende stemning og svært god mat.

image

De siste årene har vi sett en endring innen hva vi ønsker når vi er ute og spiser. Trendene er bærekraft og ønsket om å redusere kjøttinntaket, både med tanke på oss selv og fremtiden. Nostalgien råder og vi vil gjerne ha mat slik vi husker det fra barndommen. Det asiatiske kjøkkenet blir stadig mer populært og vi vil også ta bilde av og dele det vi spiser med andre - altså SoMe-vennlige retter. 

I tillegg til dette vil vi ha kortreist mat, og det skal selvsagt til syvende og sist smake veldig godt.

Alle disse tingene kan Oslo servere. De siste årene har det dukket opp alt fra trendy og innholdsrike mathaller til gourmetrestautanter med michelinstjerner i Norges hovedstad. Og de stedene som rett og slett bare er skikkelig koselige.

Her er syv koselige restauranter du bør besøke i Oslo:

Ostebutikken.

Hvor: Thorvald Meyers gate 27 A.

image

Går du forbi dette lille, franske stedet, så tror du nok at det bare er en delikatessebutikk.

Men nei, her inne er det cirka ti små bord, og du går rett inn i klisjeen med rød- og hvitrutete duker og begynner umiddelbart å nynne på «Parlez-moi d'amour».

På menyen står det både steak tartare, moules-frites, parmentier de canard eller cassoulet. Vinkartet tar deg med til provinsene Bourgogne, Loire og vinhovedstaden Bordeaux. Men du glemmes ikke hvis du er mer en ølperson, da kan du velge mellom øl fra både Tsjekkia og Spania. Ostebutikken treffer svært godt på en romantisk middag og er veldig koselig.

Ekebergrestauranten

Hvor: Kongsveien 15

image

Ta trikken fra Oslo sentrum (linje 13 eller 19) opp til Ekebergåsen. Eller ta den vakre og romantiske spaserturen opp langs åsen som til slutt gir deg utsikt over så å si hele byen, og du ser fra Bjørvika til Aker Brygge og Slottet. 

Start gjerne restaurantbesøket med en gåtur i Ekebergparken. Her kan du oppleve over 40 skulpturer og installasjoner fra kjente kunstnere som Sarah Lucas, Damien Hirst og Louise Bourgeois. Ekebergrestauranten ligger like nedenfor den storslåtte parken, og med glassvinduer mot byen får dere et måltid med utsikt over hovedstadens skyline. Det kule og fredede funkisbygget fra 1920-tallet er i seg selv verdt turen. 

Menyen på restauranten varierer ut fra sesong og råvarer, men du kan spise alt fra andelår confit til torsk. Vi anbefaler stedets moules-frites.

Ekspedisjonshallen Sommerro

Hvor: Sommerrogata 1

image

Gamle Oslo Lysverker er blitt renovert etter alle kunstens regler og har åpnet dørene igjen i form av det ærverdige snakkis-hotellet Sommerro. Her finner du flere restauranter, men skal du ha noe som treffer på skikkelig koselig, så bør du bestille bord på Ekspedisjonshallen. Uansett hva slags stemning du var i før du kom inn i brasseriet, kan vi love at du kommer til å ville flørte med den du er ute med, smile, skåle og nyte jazzmusikken. 

Atmosfæren er likevel varm og avslappet. Vi tipper du kommer til å ville bestille champagne eller en dry martini. Til middag står valgene mellom noe fra grillen, som piggvar, eller dere går for tomahawk for to? Anbefales året rundt for deg som vil komme i feststemning.

Statholdergaarden

Hvor: Rådhusgata 11

image

Kokk Bent Stiansen var den første nordmannen som vant Bocuse d`Or, og Statholdergaarden er hans gourmetrestaurant. Hans eget slagord er at restauranten skal «være en forlengelse av hans egen spisestue». I så fall er det en spisestue av høyeste kvalitet, for her spiser du klassisk og moderne, men svært godt.  Statholdergaarden er anerkjent i Oslo, men også av Michelinguiden . Menyen varierer ut ifra årstider, men det brukes norske råvarer. Du kan unne deg 6-retters gourmetmeny eller à la carte. Hit går du for en luksuriøs matopplevelse, eller du kan velge noe litt mer uformelt på stedets Mat og Vinkjeller. Matopplevelsene du vil snakke om, er for eksempel kamskjell, andehjerte eller reinsdyr.

Hvor: Fredensborgveien 13

image

Murstein, kjeller og stearinlys gir en lun og koselig stemning, og slik er det på Klosteret. Restauranten ligger på Fredensborg, et område som er litt utenfor Oslos hektiske handlegater. Her kan du få roen til en romantisk date, men dette er minst like mye et sted for middag med venner eller familie. Hver dag komponerer kokkene egne menyer for tre-, fem- og syv-retters.

Klosteret baserer seg på det franske kjøkken, men det er likevel klassisk og rustikk mat. Det finnes også gode alternativer for både vegansk og vegetarisk. I tillegg skilter stedet med en imponerende vinkjeller.

Matinteressert? Her er ni koselige restauranter du bør besøke i London

Nedre Foss Gård

Hvor: Nordre gate 2

image

Stilfull restaurant som ligger i en gårdsbygning fra 1800-tallet. Det ærverdige bygget ble rammet av en storbrann i 2015 og brant ned til grunnen, men er blitt restaurert og gjenåpnet med lyse og varme lokaler. Stedet ligger også midt i den hippe bydelen Grünerløkka, og like ved Mathallen Vulkan - så her er det mye å finne på og se både før og etter middag. 

Nedre Foss Gård har både bryggeribar og restaurant. Menyen er spennende og norsk, og du spise alt fra østers og vågehval til fjellgris fra Valdres.

Vi har tidligere anbefalt Nedre Foss Gård som et herlig sted for lunsj - med vennegjengen eller daten.

Vinterhaven og bibliotekbaren

Hvor: Kristian IVs gate 7

image

Hotel Bristol , midt i Oslo sentrum, er blitt kjent for sin Afternoon Tea. Her treffer du gjerne et voksent klientell, men også influensere som drikker kakao og tar foto av etasjefatet med saftige scones og minisandwicher.

Hit sniker du deg unna storbyens støy og trer inn britisk luksus og gjerne levende musikk. Klassisk te kan også byttes ut med en syrlig og frisk champagne. 

Le Benjamin

Hvor: Søndre gate 6

image

En uformell bar og bistro i bydelen Grünerløkka. Vi synes likevel stedet er elegant og har svært god fransk mat. Du bør virkelig prøve stedets escargots au beurre, ail et persil og hovedretten entrecôte grillée, pommes de terre croustillantes, salade et sauce époisses. Vi gir Le Benjamin et stort pluss for at det på barnemenyen står noe annet enn typiske pølser og pommes frites, for her spiser nemlig de minste det samme som de voksne. Bare i mindre porsjoner, og derav lavere pris, kan de små nyte både entrecôte på spyd eller posjert piggvar. 

Stedet passer for alle som vil ha en koselig restaurant og måltid av høy kvalitet.

Move Over, Copenhagen. Oslo Is the New Nordic Food Town

visit oslo spisesteder

Look out, Copenhagen: Oslo is poised to dominate the Nordic food scene. Says who? Industry insider Shari Bayer, who travels the world for incredible (often solo) meals .

OSLO, Norway – Had you told me a few months ago that Oslo was a culinary gem that I needed to visit as soon as possible, I would not have believed you. Everyone (or at least everyone in my hospitality industry world) talks about Copenhagen. That’s the place moving the culinary needle. That’s where it’s at.

I don’t think they are wrong. Last year, I took my first solo trip to Copenhagen and Stockholm and found an amazing food scene. I was happy to return to Copenhagen for a second trip within a year to attend the invite-only food conference MAD Symposium so I could explore more of the dining scene. From Noma to 108 to Andersen & Maillard, I was impressed and would be happy to return again and again.

But can we talk about Oslo? It may be living in the CPH shadows, but it’s definitely having a moment.

I added Norway onto my Scandinavia journey. I knew of Maaemo, Oslo’s three-Michelin-star restaurant that in itself has made the city a food lover’s destination, but that’s pretty much it. I reserved my solo spot there as soon as I booked my flight, but the rest of my days would be up for exploration. I did not know what to expect — except for things to be expensive.

What I discovered after three days in Oslo was exciting. Restaurants are sophisticated and approachable — creative, relevant, and delicious. Chefs serve innovative, seasonal menus with quality products, focusing on local seafood and vegetables — very plant-forward. Tasting menus are widespread, as are a la carte options. Ambiences are unpretentious and intimate. Staffs were welcoming. Oslo’s burgeoning food scene not only held its own; it exceeded my expectations.

Trout and Dill at Arakataka.

Where to Eat

Arakataka Mariboesgt Gate 7; +47-2332-8300 The seasonal Nordic and international restaurant is inviting to passersby, with its glass-front facade, designer lighting, open kitchen, and central food bar. Inventive dishes include fermented celeriac bread with king crab and raw trout with dill. Make a meal of small plates or opt for a five-course tasting with optional wine pairings. It’s also open late.

Bass Oslo Thorvald Meyers Gate 26c; +47-4824-1489 The intimate, low-key spot in the Grunerlokka neighborhood serves a seasonal menu of small plates, such as halibut with horseradish cream and poached turbot with wine sauce — perfect for solo dining or sharing. Exposed cement walls, designer lamps, and character art, including a Jerry Seinfeld photograph by the door, make the casual, wine-oriented bistro and bar a welcoming destination for reasons beyond the food.

Kolonialen Bislett Solfiesgate Gate 16; +47-9011-5098 A sophisticated, yet approachable space with a standout black and while checkered floor and stylish touches is located in the Bislett neighborhood next to a renowned home-design shop, offering dishes that read more simplistic than they actually are on the plate.
