Norwegian comfort food

🕒 Mid morning, Lunchtime, Mid afternoon

Visit a couple of Oslo's most famous coffee shops and indulge in local treats while browsing in the independent boutiques of trendy Grünerløkka

Grünerløkka is home to a couple of the Oslo's top destinations for coffee tourists, in Tim Wendelboe and Supreme Roastworks. These intimate coffee shops serve up exquisite coffee and sell bags of their own roast.

In the nearby streets, alongside the trendy shops and restaurants, you can find knockout examples of some staple local treats. Try sweet buns with cinnamon or custard, waffles with brown cheese, and a prime example of Norway’s fast food king: the humble hot dog.

The Mathallen Food Hall, down by the Akerselva River, makes for a fitting finale. Shops and restaurants both inside and around the former industrial workshop serve up local and international fare, ensuring there's something for all budgets and appetites.
