3 Best Restaurants in Holmenkollen, Oslo

Above the Holmenkollen ski jump, Finstua at Frognerseteren is a great spot to take in sweeping mountain views. With chefs well versed in traditional Norwegian fare, this rustic and elegant spot serves salted and smoked fish, game, and more. Downstairs is the more casual Kafe Seterstua.

Enjoy a Danish-Norwegian meal with a stunning view of the magical forest surrounding Oslo—thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows, nature’s practically part of the dining experience. Choose from the à la carte or set menu—come summer, many of the ingredients are picked straight from the restaurant’s kitchen garden—but don’t skip dessert, as they’re all made in-house by the restaurant’s pastry chef. This place started as a cabin back in 1916, but after World War II, the Norwegian government gifted it to Denmark in gratitude for sending about two tons of food and clothes every day during the war. If there's time, pair your dinner with a hike on one of the forest trails around the hotel.

This bistro at Holmenkollen Park Hotel is known for its excellent food and unbeatable views of Oslo and the Oslofjord. Packed with locally sourced Norwegian ingredients and a variety of Scandinavian dishes, the buffet is served for dinner in the summer and for lunch the rest of the year. Be sure to save room for the delicious desserts! It’s a good idea to contact reception in advance and book a table by the window or out on the terrace.
