  • Believe it or not, this place has been open for more than 20 years and it is still a favourite amongst everyone I know. The food has kept the same high level of quality and the wine list keeps evolving. Personally I tend to drink a lot of Cali wines here but their Riesling list is also a joy to choose from. Especially if you go for their pepper crab, which is to die for!

  • Arakataka has been one of the most beloved restaurants in Oslo for over a decade now. And while the restaurant is excellent, the real treat is their food bar, which is open from Wednesday to Saturday. Here you can grab a nice meal as late as 00.30 at night, the wine list is ridiculously good, and when you're finally kicked out, there are tons of other venues close by.

    Last call: Sunday-Tuesday early, Wednesday-Saturday 00.30 (sometimes 01.30)

  • ​This place feels like home and is great for any occasion; if you want to get your hands dirty with pepper crab and riesling, or if you’re going all in and having everything on the menu. But mostly I end up in the bar – ‘matbaren’. Here you can order one small dish at the time while you look through the wine list, because that could take some time. I always have a hard time to decide what to get here because there are just too many goodies to choose from. Luckily the staff there has great taste and is always there to help.
