Restaurants at Grunerløkka

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Oslo. It's an old farm building, centrally located but with green surroundings. The food is focused on local products, with an international touch.

Great french food in a warm and cosy setting. It is hard to get a table, so that should be booked well in advance.

Nice restaurant with beautiful views of the city. Perfect to combine a lunch here with a walk in Ekebergparken (sculpture park).

I warmly recommend a visit to this little gem of a restaurant close to the museums at Bygdøy. It's accessible via a small cable boat from the mainland. It could perhaps be a bit hard to find as it is hidden in a residential area.

This is a great restaurant if you feel like eating good meat for dinner. Maybe best on rainy days as the interior is a bit dark. 15 minutes walk from the apartment.

This is a great shop for delicacies about 15 minutes walking from the apartment and a few bus-stops before Lindern if you come from the city center. They have great cheeses, hams and I can basically eat up the shop. But be aware - it's expensive!

Downtown restaurants

Traditional brasseri in downtown Oslo city center. The prices are high, but the food and atmosphere is nice. It's a restaurant with a long history and always very busy around christmas-time.

Asian restaurants at "Aker brygge". We went here with 4 kids (9, 11 and two babies) and found it very family friendly and were all happy with the food.

Sightseeing

The newly opened Much museum is a must when visiting Oslo! We went as a family and loved it! The building is highly debated and voted to be the ugliest building in Norway (and I agree..), but it's great once you are on the inside. It has a rooftop restaurant, but the conclusion from our visit was that the rooftop is best for a drink (we were disappointed about the food and service, but loved the surroundings)

Nature/hikes

If you have a car and sport-shoes I recommend an afternoon hike to Vettakollen. Its steep uphill, but the treat on the top is great views of Oslo.
