Circa
Circa (Approximately) and its upstairs neighbour Presis (Precisely), under the same ownership, complement each other. Circa, downstairs, cavernous, both bar and light-meal venue, has free wi-fi. It serves tasty pastas, salads and sandwiches (Nkr90 to Nkr100) until 4pm. Thereafter, its cool jazz and electronic music attracts a 25- to 35-year-old crowd. There’s occasional live music plus, at weekends, a live DJ. Wednesday, wine night, is normally packed.

Aunegården
You can almost lose yourself in this wonderful café-cum-restaurant that’s all intimate crannies and cubby holes. In a 19th-century building that functioned as a butcher’s shop until 1996, it’s rich in character and serves excellent salads (from Nkr117), sandwiches (from Nkr75) and mains. If you don’t fancy a full meal, drop by just to enjoy a coffee and one of its melt-in-the-mouth cakes.

Driv
This student-run converted warehouse serves meaty burgers, great salads (Nkr95), focaccias with a variety of fillings (Nkr85) and a vegetarian pasta (Nkr95). It organises musical and cultural events (notably the self-styled Fucking North Pole Festival) and sometimes has a disco. In winter you can steep yourself in good company within its open-air hot tub.

Presis
Step upstairs, above Circa, to snack on Presis’ great range of Nordic-style tapas. The air’s calmer here, in a more rarefied atmosphere, furnishings are hip and original, and frequently changing artwork decorates the walls.
