The 10 Best Restaurants In Bjørvika, Oslo
With the National Opera and Ballet as a natural architectural focal point, the newest and most exciting part of Oslo, Bjørvika, is a testament to innovative Nordic and Scandinavian design. Soon to be home to some of Norway’s most important cultural institutions, such as the Munch Museum and the Deichman Library, this part of Oslo presents a cuisine as creative and exciting as its architecture. Here are ten of the best restaurants in Bjørvika.
Maaemo
One of the top 100 restaurants in the world, and decidedly Norway’s finest, Maaemo serves world class food in the middle of Oslo. Having earned two Michelin stars in one go, this innovative kitchen serves a delicate tasting menu of more than 20 courses, packed with seasonal and organic Norwegian produce. Offering a near panoramic view of the newly developed Barcode Project, and the Opera Quarter, Maaemo sets the stage for a spectacular dining experience, brandishing some of the very finest and most creative cuisine the Nordic region can offer at the moment.

1. Argent Restaurant
Restaurant, Northern European
As one of the two restaurants housed by the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, Argent Restaurant provides a fine-dining option to anyone venturing inside the impressive marble building. As well as having a superb location, Argent has gained a solid reputation as a restaurant serving delicious food, made with fresh and seasonally adapted produce. As a result, Argent is a restaurant offering refined dining as well as a view towards the city center and the newly developed Barcode high-rises, which are both next to the opera. The view is of perhaps the most architecturally interesting building to be added to Bjørvika in recent times.
2. Vaaghals
Restaurant, Northern European
Sanguine Brasserie
Sanguine Brasserie, as the second of two restaurants housed within the Opera, is the more casual dining alternative, providing a perfect backdrop for a pre-show dinner or a drop-in meal in beautiful surroundings. With a snow-white marble terrace going right into the fjord, and the spectacular building of the Opera which is an example of world class architecture, Sanguine Brasserie serves a continental selection in the most iconic surroundings contemporary Oslo has to offer.

Behind the Opera, down by the water, this restaurant has become one of Oslo’s favorite summer pastimes.
