Hos Peder Oslo: Small Plates and Wine in Grünerløkka

Hos Peder is a small-plate restaurant at Thorvald Meyers gate 40B in Grünerløkka. It suits a relaxed dinner, a date or a shared meal, but its menu changes, so check the restaurant's current menu and reservation page before you go.

At a glance

The table is a planning snapshot checked on 5 September 2026. The official site is the live source for the menu, reservations and contact details. The original Mer av Oslo article records the source visit and photographs from shortly after the restaurant opened.

What Hos Peder is like

Hos Peder's own site introduces head chef Peder Salomon Bild Børstad and describes cooking built around good ingredients, careful technique and inspiration from around the world, with a base between French and Mediterranean traditions. That makes the restaurant a better match for a shared, sit-down meal than for a fast bite between attractions. You can also open the current wine menu before deciding whether the format suits your group.

Mer av Oslo visited soon after the restaurant opened and described it as a warm, family-run neighbourhood restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows, a relaxed room and small plates intended for sharing. The source article is a record of that visit, not a promise that the menu or room is unchanged today.

What the source visit tasted

The menu is designed for sharing, and the source visit tried several dishes across the table rather than treating Hos Peder as a one-plate lunch stop. Mer av Oslo reported a charcuterie plate with sourdough and pickled vegetables, skirt steak with chimichurri, Szechuan wings, fries with aioli, spicy broccoli and tarte tatin. Those dishes and prices belong to the February 2024 visit; use the current official menu for what is available now.

That older visit is still useful for understanding the format. Order a few plates for the table, compare different flavours, and leave room to add another dish or dessert if the meal calls for it. The restaurant's current menu page also says groups of more than eight can request a tasting menu for 695 NOK per person, which is the clearest current planning detail for a larger party.

How to plan a meal at Hos Peder

1. Read the live menu first. The restaurant says its cooking is globally inspired and rooted between French and Mediterranean traditions, while the dishes themselves change. Use the official menu rather than planning around the source visit's 2024 plates.
2. Reserve before you travel across Oslo. The restaurant links to its current booking system from the home page. This is especially sensible for a date, a Friday or Saturday evening, or any group larger than a few people.
3. Plan for a shared meal. Start with a small selection for the table, then add another plate if you want a longer dinner. Ask the restaurant about allergies or dietary needs when you book because the current menu is not fixed here.
4. Use Ruter for the final connection. Hos Peder is on Thorvald Meyers gate in Grünerløkka. Check the Ruter journey planner from your actual starting point instead of relying on a generic travel time.

Who it suits, and when to choose another place

Hos Peder makes the most sense when the meal itself is the plan. It is a good option for a couple who wants to share several dishes, friends who enjoy comparing plates, or a small group looking for wine and a relaxed neighbourhood setting. The source article also presents it as a place for bringing parents or meeting a date.

Choose another restaurant if you need a guaranteed fixed menu, a fast meal between timed attractions, or a walk-in table at a specific hour. Hos Peder's official pages provide the booking and contact routes, but they do not give a permanent opening-hours table on the pages checked for this guide. Confirm the available time directly before you set your itinerary.

Before you go

• Check the official menu and wine menu on the day you plan to visit.
• Use the restaurant's official reservation link for available times and party size.
• Contact the restaurant through its official contact page about allergies, accessibility or a larger booking. The current contact page lists Thorvald Meyers Gate 40B, 0555 Oslo, and phone 94457730.
• Treat the dishes, prices and opening hours in the 2024 source visit as historical context, not current guarantees.
• If you are planning a larger dinner, ask about the current tasting-menu option for groups over eight before you arrive.
