Café restaurants in Oslo

  1. A

    Fru Hagen

    The low-key and always full Fru Hagen, ‘Mrs Garden’, serves sandwiches and burgers, all with a healthy side portion of vegetables. Its location facing Olaf Ryes plass also makes it good for people-watching.

    Delicatessen

    One of Grünerløkka's numerous cool-kid cafes, it features sturdy wooden tables and big windows that fold away in the summer to overlook a riverside park across the street. Good Italian sandwiches.

    Grand Café

    At 11am sharp, Henrik Ibsen would leave his apartment on Drammensveien (now Henrik Ibsens gate) and walk to the Grand Café for a lunch of herring, beer and one shot of aquavit (alcoholic drink made from potatoes and carroway liquor). His table is still there and you don’t have to eat herring if you go, though it is on the menu (Nkr88).

    Rust

    On a cobblestone side street, Rust has plenty of outdoor seating and loads of blankets for when it gets cold. Good for a quiet cocktail, burgers (Nkr129), hearty salads (Nrk119) or tapas late into the night.

    Bistro Brocante

    Next door to Fru Hagen, this informal French-inspired café serves fantastic salads (Nkr98 to Nkr115), quiche (Nkr93) and even coq a vin (Nkr192). The outdoor tables are at a premium in summer.
