One of our absolute favourite eateries in Oslo, Kampen Bistro puts quality over quantity. Located in the 1st floor of a community center the experienced chefs cook only one fish- and one meat dish every night. But these are meticously planned and based on the best available ingredients of the season.

Another good place for an outdoor drink is Kafé Asylet just down in the high street at Grønland.

Also serves reasonably priced breakfast dishes in the weekend (egg and bacon, sandwiches, approx Nkr 130).
