Restaurants, pubs, cafes, discotheques and nightclubs

Oslo is a fascinating city if you want to go out on town. You'll find everything in pubs, cafes, restaurants, patisseries, discotheques and nightclubs. You can "travel around the world" sampling an array of cuisines, get together over some Norwegian specialities, visit a French cafe or brasserie, an English pub, eat a delicious couscous dish or oriental specialities. Norwegian cuisine is first-class. Teams of chefs from Norway have brought back a number of medals from international competitions.

The salient characteristics of Norwegian traditional food are taste and presentation, and Norwegian chefs are unassailable when it comes to prepa-ring buffets. To mention just a few Norwegian specialities:

Smoked or Gravet (marinated) salmon or trout. Lutefisk (dried fish softened in brine). Lefse (savoury pastry layered with cheese or brawn). Spekemat (dried, smoked salted meat). Boiled cod. Lapskaus (stew - lobscouse). Fenalår (dried, smoked leg of lamb). Rakørret (seasoned, preserved fish). Reindeer and elk roast. Cakes and desserts. For example, "Tilslørte Bondepiker".

If you want to have a tasty culinary experience in Oslo, ask to be directed to one of the many places that serve traditional Norwegian buffet lunches or dinners - such as many of the city's hotels.

As the array of restaurants in Oslo is so large, we can only list a limited selection and draw your attention to the fact that there are many more to choose from throughout the price range. For further information about the choice of restaurants in Oslo, specialities and prices, we suggest that you contact your hotel reception or the Tourist Information Offices.
