Getting fed

Good places to sate your hunger. Will be expanded later. Also see the link section for more restaurant reviews (not added yet).

Please come with your suggestions, preferably including where it is, what kind of establisment it is (restaurant, cafe, pub) unless obvious from the name, type of food, rough price range (cheap: main course less than 100 NOK, moderate: main course 100-200 NOK, expensive: more than 200 NOK, very expensive: more than 300 NOK), and major selling points.

The local neighbourhood


Isabel: Turkish, moderate/cheap cafe/pub. Large outdoor section.
Gio: Vietnamese, moderate cafe/restaurant.
Gutta fra Calcutta: Indian, moderate restaurant. Just the other side of Uelands gate.
* Sult: Largely seafood, moderate restaurant. Creative good food in decent portions.
* Rehmans: Pakistani, moderate restaurant. Unusual dishes.
Oasen: Iranian, moderate/cheap cafe/pub. Nice interior.

Grünerløkka/Sofienberg (South-East)


Tøyen/Grønland (further South-East)


Asylet: Norwegian (the name means "the asylum"). Moderate pub/restaurant. Nice building.

Ila/St.Hanshaugen (West)


Bislett/Majorstua (further West)


Centre East Side (South)


Centre West Side (South)


* Klosteret (the Monastery): Norwegian/International expensive restaurant. Food very good. Judging from the huge number of candles around they might have forgotten to pay the electricity bill.
* Ylajali: International expensive restaurant. Not visited, supposed like Arakataka, but better.

Sagene/Torshov (North)


Zen: Tapas and pizza, cheap pub. Not particularly good food, but very cheap food and drinks.
Matfinken: French/international, expensive/moderate restaurant.
Sun Sushi: cheap sushi/sashimi takeaway/cafe.
Soria Moria Restaurant: Norwegian/international moderate cafe/restaurant. Pleasant theatre/cinema complex.
Stambul: Turkish cheap/moderate cafe.
* Victor: French expensive restaurant (the cafe is moderately priced, but the restaurant is much better value). Though it has gotten more expensive it offers good to exquisite dishes.


* Places I would recommend for a dinner (as opposed to getting some food)

For Tøyen/Grønland: Add DarBar, a nice Indian with at least one (the one I always get) very nice waiter. The food is the best Indian I've ever had (but being Norwegian I'm afraid that doesn't count for much). At least the Vindaloo is making you break a sweat. Prices are moderate and they offer a take away/delivery service as well.
