![Hotel Bristol, a restaurant and hotel in Oslo, Norway.]()
Phone: +47 22 82 60 20
Address: Kristian IV's gate 7, Oslo
Italian Wine List of the Year Norway 2025
Proper hotel restaurants are few and far between, particularly with great wine lists, but they can prove the icing on the cake. Bristol Grill, within Oslo's Hotel Briston, serves up classical brasserie fare in a timeless dining room oozing old money, without seeming clichéd or intimidating – it's a bit like stepping into a time machine. Though the wine list is smaller than it once was, there are still treasures buried in this deep selection that is firmly focused on the classic regions of France and Piedmont, plus California as well. Some great prices to be found for back vintages.

![The dining room at Nordic-Asian fusian restaurant Happolati in Oslo, Norway.]()
Phone: +47 479 78 087
Address: Sankt Olavs Plass 2, 0165, Oslo
Austrian Wine List of the Year Norway, presented by Austrian Wine 2025
When entering this restaurant in central Oslo, you immediately think that it has to be something Asian, but the interiors also give promises of something Scandinavian. Both are true: the menus – both the set and à la carte versions – offer a combination of local produce in an all-Asian setting, where ideas and ingredients from many different food cultures are mixed in a bold, but still very successful way. A meal at Happolati never leaves you bored. Even though the name could sound Asian-inspired, like the food, it’s not. It’s taken from the famous novel Sult (meaning “hunger”) written by K...

Phone: +47 56 53 10 00
Address: Uttrågata 3, Voss
Best Long List of the Year Norway 2025
Park Hotel Vossevangen is not a place visited for its convenient access – it is a place worth traveling for. Located in a village in the western part of Norway, at least the road trip from Bergen can be spectacular. At Park Hotel Vossevangen it is possible to attend tastings in the wine cellar or try their restaurant, Elysée, which offers a classic menu.

Phone: +47 51 55 11 11
Address: Nordbøgata 8, Stavanger
International Austrian Wine List of the Year, presented by Austrian Wine 2025
Restaurant RE-NAA is a 3 star Michelin restaurant that sets itself apart not because of any gimmick or theatricals but simply because of the supreme quality of its cooking, wine selection, service and presentation. It's a place where you can relax and watch the chefs intent at their work, or choose to focus on your company and the special occasion at hand. Regardless of which, the quality is sky-high and the respect and handling of local ingredients superb. The award winning front of house/sommelier team led by Kristoffer Aga with Sander Johnsson as his right hand are part of the elite of Nor...

![Vinland, a restaurant in Oslo, Norway.]()
Phone: 48 84 28 05
Address: Henrik Ibsens gate 48, Oslo
By the Glass List of the Year Norway, presented by Riedel 2025
A world-class and widely-awarded wine list – and as deep as they get – can be found at this modern yet retro, vibey Nordic brasserie. Paris meets New York meets casually elegant Scandinavia, it’s suitable for date nights, wine-geek nights and smaller functions too. Your langoustine or côte de bouef will be in great wine company, that is for sure. Skewed towards the higher end, this roughly 170-page wine list covers traditional areas both widely and deeply, including the US West Coast. With the restaurant located in the former US Embassy, and California’s wines already well established among...

![Vinoteket, a restaurant in Oslo, Norway.]()
Phone: +47 974 32 020
Address: Henrik Ibsens gate 60a, Oslo
Italian Wine List of the Year Norway 2025
When Vinoteket opened in 2018, it gained instant fame for three things: the ridiculously low-priced wine list, the innovative pizzas and the fact that former European Sommelier Championship winner Robert Lie was general manager. Today the wine prices are a bit more normal (albeit still cheap), the pizzas are as good as ever, and the wine list continues to evolve and grow. While the combination of great pizza and a kick-ass wine list has been seen before, it's unusual to find such a relaxed and friendly venue in an area of Oslo known just as much for its poor taste as it's wealth and lavish sp...
