A
Ekeberg Restaurant
An early example of functionalist architecture, the 1929 Ekeberg Restaurant once attracted long lines of spectators eager to be seen enjoying a beer outside this angular, painfully white nonconformist building. After falling into disrepair in the 1980s, the restaurant was renovated and reopened with a classy menu and slick bar. If nothing else, go for the view.

Markveien Mat & Vinhus and Dr Kneipp’s Vinbar
With a hint of truffle oil or a dash of dill, the cooks at Markveien make Norwegian cooking unforgettable. The restaurant focuses on using local seafood and meat, as well as organic produce, to create their delectable dishes. If you’re not in the mood for the formal dining room, slide into one of the dark wooden booths at Dr Kneipp’s next door for finger food or a sumptuous dessert, not to mention an amazing wine list.

Smia Galleri
Smia Galleri is one of those places Oslo residents are so fond of they almost hate to share it. The leafy patio is perfect on summer afternoons and there’s jazz on Thursday evenings. If they have it, try the rhubarb crumble with wild strawberry sorbet. It takes about 15 minutes to get there: from Oslo S, take bus 37 towards Helsfyr T-bane station and get off at Vålerenga.

Frognerseteren Restaurant
There are three good reasons to visit Frognerseteren: the apple cake (Nkr50), the view and the building. The apple cake is billed as the best in Oslo and the view, from over 400m above sea level, is as good as it gets. As for the building, with dragon heads and enough wood trim to rival the most ornate Swiss chalet, it is the epitome of the Viking revival–style popular in the 1860s.

Stortorvets Gjæstgiveri's
Norway's oldest restaurant's sagging yellow, wooden walls and pretty interior court provide an excellent backdrop for traditional meals. Don't try for a table on 17 May or Christmas.
