The best Norwegian restaurants Oslo

Kaffistova is one of the best addresses in Oslo, and for good reason it is one of the oldest! Indeed, the café opened in 1901 in the Norwegian capital. Every day Kaffistova offers fresh products from local production and traditional dishes. On the menu, salmon, reindeer, meatballs and a wide choice of side dishes. The setting is bright, modern, spacious and, above all, well located, as it is only a stone's throw from the city centre. A must for those who want to know a little more about Norwegian eating habits!

Still bearing the name of its former life (former steamship) and paying homage to that era in its decoration, Louise is a very pleasant, relaxed, friendly and well-made place. The view is magnificent - located in the former construction site of Aker Mek - the fjord, the boats and the fortress of Akershus are offered to your eyes while your taste buds discover varied menus mixing exoticism and traditional Norwegian cuisine. A chic and rather expensive place, with a subdued atmosphere but where you can eat very well.

A typical Norwegian place, a wooden house painted in red with white window surrounds. Tables and chairs all over the garden, which has many trees and flowers. Just the drive to get there is great, as you have to take the boat from Aker Brygge which gets you there in only 7 minutes. Free internet connection. A la carte or takeaway menu. Lunch, coffee break, all dishes are simple and good.

Lorry is not only a good traditional Norwegian restaurant, it is also one of the oldest! This characterful place with its historic bric-a-brac atmosphere is a very popular place and in the summertime offers one of the most beautiful terraces! You are more than welcome to stop and try some of the 129 beers available. The prices are reasonable and the portions generous, a place that we recommend without hesitation. In addition to being one of the city's best known and most popular addresses, it is a place that is very representative of the atmosphere of the capital.

A typically Norwegian restaurant, in the menu as in the decoration, and prices which remain quite reasonable for copious and good dishes! Salads, vegetarian dishes, meat, nice fish dishes, like grilled mackerel, there is really something for everyone here. They also offer a daily special, every day different. On Saturdays, it's reindeer! This institution is well known to readers of the crime writer Jo Nesbø. Indeed, his main character, Inspector Harry Hole, is a regular here!

Under high state protection, this is the most authentically "Oslo" "brown café" in the capital: 3 small rooms with moss-green and off-white lacquered panelling, with an old-fashioned stove in the first and last room halfway up the stairs. Renowned as a place where lawyers, policemen, politicians and journalists come to quench their thirst (their offices are not far away) the place offers a solid local cuisine. Opposite, on the left under the porch as you enter, is the Paragrafen bar, with its rather speciality: gull eggs.

A splendid restaurant, all white and with the windows wide open to admire the fjord just below! Not only is the design impeccable, but so is the quality of the cuisine. For lovers of Norwegian gastronomy, this is one of the temples of its kind. It's a great place to spend time and stroll around before your meal to work up an appetite, and afterwards to digest! Reservations are recommended, especially as it would be a shame if all the tables were taken!

At Arakataka there is no code. The rule of the house is to know how to make from day to day with the products of the moment! The chefs have fun with new compositions and recipes to seduce the customers, who take to the game. The dishes are based on traditional Norwegian products, adapted to Western and modern recipes, for a mix that is always original and sometimes surprising but never disappointing! This kind of test meal is actually a nice surprise, because the bill is never too high for an almost gastro dinner.
