You can always get your fix of sausage and kiosk-food at above-reasonable prices, but there are a few restaurants and cafes worth mentioning. The fastfood and kiosk chains 7-11 and the Norwegian Deli de Luca might provide you with some decent, (though overpriced) pastries and cakes, but in general you should always ask the staff how fresh the food is, sushi is only delivered in the morning and in the afternoon, and if you want this at night, the chances are big that it has been lying there for ten to twelve hours, this counts also for everything else they serve. You will be better off at most kebab kiosks.
