This place look like a giant mountain cabin where the fire place always burns. Traditional food with the best view of Oslo and the Oslo Fjord. They have both a buffet-style café with everyday Norwegian dishes and a gourmet restaurant with Reindeer steak, Fondue and other mountain-style delicacies. You can take the subway up there, past the famous skijump arena.

Here you can come for some lunch or just some snack and cold wine or beer and sit directly at the docks on the boat harbour and get the real summer feeling. They have a floating sauna in case you would like a refreshing dip in the fjord and they rent out Stand Up Paddleboards (SUP). Walking distance from flat, just take the bridge across the highway at Skillebekk and you are there.

Breakfast or brunch? Okay, so.. this place has the best tuna melt toast in Oslo. No doubt. Great menu that makes you feel like you are in California or other place where there's an extensive breakfast menu including stuff with avocado and chilli. They also make great smoothies and juices. An old paint shop has been transformed into a sandwich / juice joint and without touching the original shop front decor. Recommendable.

Activities
A huge skiing resort in the center of Oslo? Yepp. Only 19 minutes drive from my flat you will find a fantastic winter park with plenty of hills for all skill-levels and many new comfortable chairlifts taking you where you want to go; Eriksen, Hyttli, Tårnbakken or Wyller. Parks with jumps and rails and pipes for those who like adrenaline. Oslo Winter Park usually opens around end of November or start of December. You can get there by subway train! Or dedicated busses. From my flat, take the tram to Majorstuen and then you can jump on the subway or bus there. And.. they are open until 10pm in the evening on week days! Enjoy.

If you like a cold dip and sauna this is the place for you! Very popular in the winter. Also a place like this in Frognerkilen at Kongen Marina. The latter is walking distance from the flat while KOK is a few stops on the tram (opposite the Opera House).

A nice place to go for a swim next to the Opera House, down town. Be aware, very crowded on hot summer days. Then it is better to swim at Tjuvholmen, Aker Brygge or at Huk or Paradise Beach on Bygdøy peninsula. You can also travel out to Fornebu for a very nice beach and park area called Storøyodden.

Neighborhoods
For shopping surrounded by docks, boats and fjord. The new tip of Aker Brygge is called Tjuvholmen and there you can take a swim in the summer. There's even a small beach there but most people jump into the fjord from the docks. Nice place to have a drink or a bite to eat as well.

Samgöngur
The tram stop is just around the corner (literally).
It will take you downtown or the opposite direction to Majorstuen. In both instances you can switch to subway if desired, at National Theatre Station or at Majorstuen Station and here there are endless possibilities including both trams and subways. You can also walk and see most stuff worth seeing from where you live in Oscarsgate.
You can take the bus to the beautiful peninsula 'Bygdøy' (Viking Museum), from Solli Plass or from Bygdøy Allé. There you can go to Paradise Beach or Huk Beach. If you fancy cliff jumping into the sea, the walking path to Paradise Beach passes by 8-10m cliffs.

Swimming in the Oslo Fjord.
In the summer the entire Oslo Fjord becomes one big swimming pool. You will see people jumping in pretty much everywhere, including down town (Sørenga, Aker Brygge, Tjuvholmen, Frognerkilen, Bygdøy, etc, etc). Between early June and late August there will be acceptable temperatures in the sea, between 18-25 degrees celsius. You will also find traditional Scandinavian saunas both at Kongen Marina and at docks next to the Opera House. Enjoy a refreshing swim!

West End shopping beats downtown shopping.
Personally I would rather shop on Frogner and Majorstuen (Hegdehaugsveien leading on to Bogstadveien and ending up at Majorstuen-krysset, where you also can find the new shopping center Valkyrien) than downtown on Karl Johans Gate. The latter has become very touristic and also not all that pleasant in terms of clientele, in particular the part close to Oslo Central Station. For more of a Berlin feeling, visit Grünerløkka east of the Aker River. Here you will find a more bohemian vibe.
