This place was recommended by our tour guide as having the best cinnamon rolls in Oslo and she was…read moreright! I guess cinnamon rolls are a big deal here and this place has the best. Hot and soft with a nice caramelized glaze. Not cheap but nothing is cheap in Norway. We need to stop again before we leave town. Big thumbs up!

We liked our cinnamon buns so much we came back twice during our stay in Oslo. They were big, soft…read moreand just the right amount of sweet. This place was easy to find along Karl Johan Gate. Counter right at the entrance and all pastries lined up. Both times staff were quite friendly and quick. Besides the bun, we also got the school bread which was also quite good with lots of shredded coconut and icing and a creamy center. Our macchiato coffee was small but also quite strong. Caffeine helped peel us up for the rest of our wandering around Oslo.

Seasons are hard to come by at this place. Some items are…read moreover priced. The selections genuinely vary and I appreciate the store brand offerings. Head's up the store brand Pesto included egg. I don't know why but I had to bypass. It's across from a Coops Mega so this helped when I couldn't find black pepper at Rema - I walked right over to Coops before catching the bus. The locals were helpful in identifying butter. But they only had 1 loaf of sliced white bread. Someone broke eggs in the place and didn't alert anyone. 5 stars for the worker's service provided. I didn't want some chips so they had to be taken off and it didn't show on my side. Well, instead of dismissing my concern - the cashier guy got up and looked then explained it would show on my final receipt. I'd definitely would return to buy from any Rema100. Yet, I expected the prices to be more akin to Aldi's in the US. They have packaged meats, fish and et al with preprinted pricing right on the top. They accept cards with chips.

I know I have a picture somewhere of this place in my phone and when I find it i'll post it…read more Rema1000 is a supermarket chain in Oslo, though I believe they have this chain all over norway and other european countries nearby. Smaller than supermarkets in the US (but most supermarkets in europe are smaller) but has basically everything you need (just not as much selection in each item - ex: the selection of brands to choose from). Guys probably like this because it forces us girls to shop faster (less to look at and decide from lol). In general if your on a budget and staying a few days in norway, its much much cheaper to get groceries and cook for yourself so try... and get a small studio apartment with a small kitchen where you can cook in and it will save you some money. Overall, rema1000 is a supermarket you'll find everywhere in oslo. Its small, but has everything you need.

My friend and I were searching for a nearby pizza shop. With the help of Yelp we found rent Mel…read more This pizzeria and bakery focuses on creating meals made with organic and local ingredients. The restaurant is simple yet elegant. They were probably three or four patrons during our visit, so it was quiet. The waiters were nice and chatty. I ordered the pizza of the month for May. I can't recall all the ingredients. But I do remember I ordered this pizza because it had chorizo. Sadly, I did not like this pizza. The pizza had a very strong smell and it had a pungent taste. I think it was the chorizo. It was probably the spices it was marinated in. Anyways, the waiter was so sweet that he gave me another pizza. This time it was a plain ham and cheese pizza. And I thoroughly enjoyed it. My friend ordered the three Norwegian cheeses. I thought it was perfect. I'm unfamiliar with what cheeses they use, but it tasted great. Now Norwegian Cuisine is pretty out there. So they do serve pizza with reindeer meat and such. I did enjoy my experience. I'm giving them 4 stars because of their awesome waiters, their cozy yet trendy ambience, creative pizzas, and superb service.

I don't usually have the habit to go for the same on the menu each time, but the chickenburger here…read moreis amazingly good. The chicken is breed the old fashion way- Breath of fresh air, fresh oat, wheat and corn and this combination makes the meat so juicy and tender. The burger itself is boneless (they remove bones), coleslaw, bbq sauce and a good dressing on top of a amazingly good bun. The bun actually makes the whole difference. It's so moist and tasty when you let the burger sit for a minute(if you got the patience to wait), it just suck up all of the good dressing and bbq sauce and that combined with the juicy chicken just makes it even better. I tend to go for the burger whenever I'm down at the local football pub watching a game and I combine this meal with a Brooklyn Lager. Good taste combined. The service is also great. No mocking around. Quick and done. Since they started up their local shoppe at Mathallen, the price has risen from a comfortable 60NOK to 90NOK. I personally think that's a little steep but I can't resist it. It's worth it. They also got a good chicken sandwich, but I've never eaten it. (Never change a winning team) but I've heard it's also very good. It's not only burgers and sandwiches at Stangeriet, they also sell wings, thighs and whole chickens. It's definitely worth a try and a chicken for sunday supper is a winner.

Any food stand with a bubbling pan of meat is promising, and Stangeriet delivered. The sandwich we…read moreordered was humongous, with meat practically bursting out of the seams. The meat was flavorful and juicy.

Then again, simply being in Norway eased me back into borderline respectable exercising routine again. Compared to Rema 1000 and Kiwi-pris nearby, this supermarket wins in size. It's around the same size as the Walgreens by the Downtown Berkeley BART Station. An entire wall is lined with fresh meats, fish, and deli next to perpendicular rows of frozen foods. There are plenty of sauces and condiments to make ethnic foods (since the first things my mother and I hunted down was soy sauce and rice). I tended to come here for bread but elsewhere for dairy based on price. Of course, all their products are great quality. The selection of BAKING ingredients in Scandinavia makes me weak at the knees. God no, I speak not of the sugary, extraneous sprinkles or toppings, but the sheer variety of baking flours that makes ICA the local mother of baking if you're into solid, heavy, flavourful breads. Why can't Trader Joe's sell 10 different types of wheat/rye flour? Oh yeah, this place is tucked into Norway's national football (soccer) stadium- that's like tucking a supermarket into Rose Bowl, Pasadena! Not too bad. Don't be like me and forget to do your shopping until Sunday- everything's closed. One day I will wake up and find ICA down my street. #ibelieve

Perhaps the long trek from downtown Oslo dragging my family in tow slightly skewed my opinion of…read morethe food - but - we were not overly impressed with the Japanese dishes in particular. Kids got fresh pizza - which they loved and my wife's curry was "meh." The price tag for five people was nearly $200 -- well more than I would have expected for a glorified food court. But, ambience was nice - no air conditioning however - on one of Oslo's hottest days on record. So all in all, a tiring trek for average food at high prices. We will pass on this next time.

It was easy to get to via the tram from our city centre hotel. There was already a small crowd inside as we navigated around. Italian, multiple burger joints, tapas were some of the busy spots that night. We decided on Helt Vilt with their wide selection of game meats from moose, reindeer, to boar to try some unique red meats. They also had a nice seating area that was available so we got the last table.. We ended up ordering the angry moose and wild boar burgers. The patties were a little over 5oz, juicy and lots of flavors from the meat and toppings. The angry moose burger also came with a nice kick mostly when biting down on the jalapeño slices. Both were filling but wouldn't have minded more meat considering these were each over US $20+. Service was just ok (maybe too busy) and we ended up walking to the front to close our tab.
