Michelin in Oslo

Step into this little hidden gem tucked away at Alexander Kiellands plass. Behind an unassuming door on the second floor of Tranen, you’ll find a space that serves high quality food and drink in romantic surroundings. From the ceiling hang large and small lampshades casting a warm glow over the deep red wallpapered walls. The menu changes weekly and with the seasons, and you’ll find an impressive selection of luxurious and delicious wines.

Right in Bjørvika, just by the river promenade and the Munch Museum, you’ll find this modern and flavorful dining experience. It’s a cozy restaurant with dark, minimalist interiors and abstract artworks on the walls. Every dinner here is a little journey, featuring well-balanced flavors and creative small plates meant for sharing—from chawanmushi to tacos and seafood—designed for savoring multiple tastes at a relaxed pace. Many of the dishes highlight Norwegian ingredients with an international twist. On Fridays and Saturdays, they also offer a special lunch menu from noon to 3 pm!

This French restaurant is known for its refined flavors, classic luxury and well deserved Michelin star. Inside you’ll find soft lighting, elegant marble tables and crescent shaped sofas wrapped in sheer pink curtains that create a warm and intimate atmosphere. It’s not a cheap place, but you are guaranteed one of the best dining experiences in Oslo.

A natural gathering spot on St. Hanshaugen since 2012! Smalhans is the place for flavorful shared meals, natural wine and that true neighborhood vibe. They even earned a Bib Gourmand from the Michelin Guide in 2015 for serving great, tasty food at a friendly price. With a focus on Norwegian ingredients, they offer three different concepts throughout the day: lunch, ‘Dagens husmann’ (today’s traditional dish) and a couple of set menus for sharing in the afternoon and evening. The interior is framed by vintage wallpaper, dark wooden furniture and green plants. ‘Dagens husmann’ is especially popular and helps put them high on our list of great traditional dining spots in Oslo.

Michelin restaurant, bakery and a solid lunch spot all in one! This place has a cozy vibe with minimalist interiors inspired by British cuisine.

Expect an aesthetically cool spot with high quality in everything they serve, and a genuinely pleasant place to hang out!

Right in the heart of Barcode, you’ll find this bright and inviting restaurant. The food is rooted in Norwegian cuisine with a modern twist. Think homemade cured meats, creamy pasta salad with roe, chicken from local farms and juicy entrecôte. Their focus on carefully selected ingredients, prepared with love and respect for tradition, offers a unique Norwegian dining experience you won’t find many others matching in Oslo. The menu changes with the seasons, and for dinner you can choose from 4, 5 or 8-course sharing menus. The interior feels urban and warm with Scandinavian wooden furniture, reindeer antlers and touches of concrete. They also offer both a lunch menu and Saturday brunch!
