If price is no object, there is some very fine dining to be found. If there is anything Oslo has a lot of, it is expensive restaurants.
Bølgen & Moi, Løvenskioldsgate 26, . Modern restaurant in the Frogner district. Reviews has been on the negative side the recent years. �
Dinner, Stortingsgata 22, . One of the finest Chinese restaurants in Europe. All the expensive dishes are worth it. Try their Peking Duck, which must be pre-ordered the day before, but is a true feast. �
Ekebergrestauranten, Ekeberg (tram 18,19 to Sjømannsskolen). An architechtural monument, this place offers gourmet dining and Oslo's best views. Hugely popular but the service can disappoint. �
Feinschmecker, Balchens gate 5 (tram 12 to Elisenberg or bus 30,31 to Frogner kirke). A feast for everyone involved, except perhaps your wallet. Exquisite dining at corporate prices. One Michelin star. �
Hos Thea, Gabelsgate 11 (tram 13 to Skillebekk), . A small place with outstanding food, small seasonal menu. �
Le Canard, President Harbitz gate 4, . One Michelin star. �
Nodee, Middelthuns gate 25 (T-Majorstuen, tram 12 to Frogner stadion). All-Asian gourmet offering just close to Frognerparken. The best East-Asian restaurant in Northern Europe (competing it out with Dinner), with prices to match. �
Palace Grill, Solligt 2 (just by Solli plass (tram 12,13 or bus 21,30,31,32 to Solli/Lapsetorvet)). Highly recommended gourmet restaurant where the menu changes daily according to the chef's mood and available ingredients. A ten-course meal costs about NOK 850 per person. Only 23 seats and no reservations, but a good bar to while away the hours waiting for food. �
Restaurant Oscarsgate, Pilestredet (tram 17,18 to Dalsbergstien). Always world-class food. Edging up for their second Michelin star, they still only hold one, while Oslo's finest chefs rave about them. Norway's finest restaurant by far. After the demise of Bagatelle, this tiny hole-in-the-wall gourmet retreat offer the finest in Nordic experimental cuisine, only rivalled by their "cousin" in Copenhagen, NOMA. The location seem modest but the experience is overwhelming. If you want to be in for a culinary treat of a lifetime in Oslo, here's the spot. Booking absolutely, absolutely essential.eight-course menu: NOK 995; Food and wine: ~NOK 1800. �
Statholdergaarden, Rådhusgate 11 (on the corner of Kirkegaten), 0151 Oslo, ☎ 22 41 88 00 (, fax: 22 41 22 24), . M-Sa 6PM-12AM. Arguably one of Oslo's finest seatings. Set in a beautiful 1800-century mansion, the combination of very friendly staff and extraordinary dishes makes it well worth its one star in the Michelin Guide. Not one to miss.Expensive. �
Theatercaféen, inside Hotel Continental next to Nationaltheatret, . Pretending to be a classic upmarket Wiener Café with a continental menu. What you get on the plate may only have a passing resemblence to the description on the menu. Staggeringly overpriced and excrutiatingly "culture-posh", you might just get better food from the Asian take-away in the removable kiosk across the street for a fraction of the price. However, being "the" classic Café in Oslo, the experience may just be worth it if your wallet is running thick. �
