Experience Oslo's Booming Culinary Scene At These New Restaurants
2017 has been a good year for Oslo, gastronomically speaking. New restaurants keep popping out all over the city, especially in the up and coming neighborhoods like Tøyen. From Nordic fine dining to gourmet cheese sandwiches and everything in between, below you’ll find the best new entries in Oslo’s restaurant scene.
1. The Golden Chimp
Restaurant, Dim Sum, European
Situated at Tøyen, one of the most aspiring parts of Oslo nowadays, this cozy Asian restaurant serves really fresh and tasty dim sum. Do try their Norwegian lobster dumplings with butter for a Nordic take on the staple dish.
2. Vintage Kitchen
Brasserie, Restaurant, Wine Bar, Northern European, Danish
Between Grünerløkka, Grønland, and Tøyen, you can find a little piece of Denmark. Opened in August, Vintage Kitchen serves Danish smørrebrød for lunch every day, and hearty, Nordic dishes accompanied with some great wine selections at night (the place also doubles as a wine bar).
3. Kverneriet Solli
Restaurant, Hungarian
5. Genki by Sabi
Restaurant, Asian
A perfect place for a date, or for meeting people after work, Genki by Sabi is Sabi Omakase’s little sister restaurant: a more casual Japanese place in Vikaterrasen that does bento boxes (which you can also take away) and other Izakaya-style delights.
6. Restaurant À L’aise
Restaurant, French, European, Vegetarian
This is fine dining at its best. À L’aise does French cuisine with a Danish know-how. You will have to dress up to savor their langoustines paired with Dom Perignon, or their white chocolate dome with edible flowers, but it will be worth it.
7. The Pink Elephant
Restaurant, Indian, Vegetarian
8. Fyr Bistronomi & Bar
Bistro, Restaurant, Bar, Tapas, Beer, European
Situated in Majorstua, Fyr manages to balance grilling things to perfection and offering a refreshingly Nordic twist on bistro dishes that are at the same time elaborate and authentic. If you have to choose one dish (although their menu, Full Fyr, is excellent and paired with wine and cocktails), make it their langustines, served simply with bread and infused butter.
9. Topphem
Restaurant, European, Tapas
10. Melt Grilled Cheese Oslo
Brasserie, Restaurant, Sandwich Shop, European
If the idea (let alone the smell) of a grilled cheese sandwich is enough to make you salivate, then you should definitely stop by St. Hanshaugen. The guys behind Trondheim’s successful Melt Grilled Cheese venue are bringing some of that cheesy goodness to the capital. Expect gourmet twists on the classic cheese sandwich, like lamb and lingonberries or beetroot and arugula—and of course, expect a pot of melted cheese to dip your fries in.
11. Galt
Restaurant, European
In Frognerveien, you will find the brand new Galt, helmed by a team of chefs that include Michelin Chef Bjørn Svensson. There’s only the option of a six-course menu, which you can enhance with fresh oysters, cheese and ham platters, and a wine pairing—but thanks to the hearty ingredients and sophisticated execution of classic Nordic flavors, you won’t want for anything.
