My Oslo favourites ✨
In the neighbourhood 🏡
Great places to eat and drink in walking distance from my apartment.
Local institution and a neighbourhood favorite, just around the corner from my apartment and across the street from the Bunnpris grocery store. Perfect for drinks, snacks, amazing 3 course dinners (the menu changes every day) and the occasional concert.

One of the best restaurants in Oslo, somewhat secret for tourists cause it's not easy to find. Food and wine is delicious. Enjoy a drink or lunch outside in the courtyard in the summer, or go for the full 3 or 5 course menu inside by the fireplace on chilly evenings. Charming atmosphere in an historical, residential neighbourhood.

Local, mouthwatering, authentic Italian food. Just a few minutes walk from my apartment and highly recommended! I usually get take-away pizza, but their lasagna is to die for. See the menu at http://www.galleri-bastian.com
