With a resident chef who authored an exquisitely illustrated book on foraging, this leafy courtyard restaurant offers an ever-changing menu of unpretentious organic comfort food with a Nordic twist. It also has plenty of indoor seating for cozy evenings dining by candlelight. The staff know the menu inside out, and the owners are often on hand to explain the hearty roster of meat, fish, and vegetarian options.
This Latin American--flavored waterfront restaurant comes alive on the weekend, when fashion-conscious locals compete for the best seats on the terrace. The hip dining room is almost as popular, with long wooden tables emphasizing that meals here are a communal experience. If you can't snag a table, wait at the leather-fronted bar with a strong and sweet signature martini. Choose a selection of seafood dishes to share with your posse.
The name is German, but the food at this warm and stylish eatery spans the globe. Owners Lars Erik Underthun, one of Oslo’s foremost chefs, and Bengt Wilson, a leading food stylist, make sure each dish looks as good as it tastes. Feinschmecker is a haven for seafood lovers—especially those looking for something a little more interesting, like trout tartare—with three-course menus that change according to the season.
