OSLO'S FOOD

If you want to try tasty, Norwegian everyday dishes such as fårikål (lamb and cabbage stew), lapskaus (brown stew), kjøttkaker (large, Norwegian meatballs), steamed salmon or fish soup, Kaffistova,  Restaurant Schrøder and Dovrehallen are good and reasonably-priced alternatives. 

Norwegian specialities

Reindeer, moose and lutefisk (cod cured in lye) are best enjoyed in historical surroundings, and there are many good options in Oslo. East of the city centre you find the old beer hall Olympen. In the historical city centre, Kvadraturen, you can try Gamle Raadhus Restaurant and Engebret Café - both with over 150 years of restaurant history. Downtown you will find Stortorvets Gjæstgiveri.

Seafood restaurants

Norway is known for its high-quality seafood, and some of Oslo's best restaurants specialise in fresh fish and seafood. At Aker Brygge and Tjuvholmen you can enjoy fjord views at Lofoten, Louise and Tjuvholmen Sjømagasin. Across the harbour you find Solsiden Restaurant, and the city centre is home to Restaurant Fjord. At Majorstua you can visit Lofotstua and try its homemade specials.
