    Elegant wine bar (coffee shop in the morning) serving up delicious small plates influenced by both Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Frances opened its doors late 2023, and hit the ground running. Located in the old US Embassy buidling, recently renovated and lending this big city cosmopolitan feeling to it all. Without loosing its charm. Solid BTG-programme. Stronghold in the USA section (no wonder, given the location). Intimate but spacey.

    Address: Torshovgata 15, Oslo

    By the Glass List of the Year Norway, presented by Riedel 2024

    A “hole-in-the-wall” wine bar in the residential area of Torshov. 30 square meters of wine and a fun, warm and welcoming atmosphere, centred around their bar and a few tables. Al fresco drinking is possible when Norwegian summers allow for it. Lasarett serves small dishes (like cold cuts and cheese) and also hosts occasional pop-ups which are always popular. The look is raw and industrial. Voted best wine bar by the local Oslo newspaper ‘Aftenposten’, in December 2023. Great selection by the glass from a wine list covering all bases.

  6. Address: Øvre Holmegate 3, Stavanger

    Norvald Vinbar opened in January 2022 in the centre of Stavanger. The venue occupies a corner section with generous ceiling height and large windows. It seats around thirty-five people inside and twenty-something outside when the weather allows it. The space is inviting, cosy and warm with Norwegian design furniture. The centre of attention is a built-in, temperature-controlled wine wall that holds approximately 2,000 bottles. The wine list has around 400 references and offers quite a few wines by the glass. All wines are served in high-quality glasses. The wines are predominantly from wor...

    California Wine List of the Year Norway 2024

    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.

  8. Address: Markveien 58, Oslo

    By the Glass List of the Year Norway, presented by Riedel 2024

    Although only established in 2014, Territoriet on Grünerløkka is already firmly established as a mainstay on the Oslo wine scene. Pre-2014, Oslo was rather dry concerning wine bars – not anymore, however, and we can thank Territoriet a lot for their trailblazing work. The bar is not very much larger than “a hole in the wall”, intimate for sure and may get busy and crowded late at night during weekends and leading up to weekends. Their by-the-glass program is massive – the widest selection in town. Contemporary and raw interiors, with wines leaning towards the more classical regions/styles, h...
