Oslo Restaurant Reviews

You can find nearly every type of cuisine in Oslo, from traditional Norwegian to sushi and Mexican. Many Oslo chefs have developed menus based on classic Norwegian recipes but with exciting variations, like Asian or Mediterranean cooking styles and ingredients. You may read about "New Scandinavian" cuisine on some menus—a culinary style that combines seafood and game from Scandinavia with spices and sauces from any other country. Fusion and crossover cooking have come to stay, even in fast-food restaurants.

Spend at least one sunny summer afternoon harborside at Aker Brygge eating shrimp and watching the world go by. Floating restaurants serve shrimp in bowls with baguettes and mayonnaise. Or better still, buy steamed shrimp off the nearby docked fishing boats and plan a picnic in the Oslo fjords or Vigeland or another of the city's parks. Note that some restaurants close for a week around Easter, in July, and during the Christmas holiday season.
