Pair it all with the delicious Indian beers (or wines), and you&#8217;ll have the perfect Indian night. We also recommend you try at least one of their Naan breads. After all, it is mandatory when eating at a Indian restaurant.

During the day, you can eat pastries, sandwiches, or pancakes from Åpent Bakeri, and at 16:00, the historical space morphs into a pizzeria.

If you visit Norway, you are not allowed to leave before you eat fish. Fiskeriet is just the place with a long history of fish &amp; seafood in Oslo. In 2010 Fiskeriet took over for the local fish hero for over 75 years, Erling Moe. They proudly continue his legacy of selling seafood in the same store in central Oslo. Buy fresh produce from the counter, or relish in celebrated dishes such as fish soup, bacalao, or oysters, maybe combined with a nice glass of white whine? It&#8217;s a yes from us.

From time to time, we should all take pleasure in classical Italian cuisine. A staircase up from Håndslag, you will find Girotondo, a family-run business with a focus on hearty service. It is folksy and down-to-earth, designed as a cafeteria with large tables that you share with other guests. If you crave an intimate and casual ambiance with good food and nice prices, this is for you. Maybe you can book a whole table for an evening out with your friends or family? P.S. Make sure to book a table a few days ahead; these guys are busy!

You know those small and intense bars they always use in films when they are in need of a statement smoking scene? Well at Merkur Bar you&#8217;ll find it. This is Oslo&#8217;s hidden pearl, disguised in a side street at St. Hanshaugen. It is one of those places someone usually has to tell you about. Unless they don&#8217;t want you to know about it of course. Amongst the beautiful interior from the 30s, inspired by Japanese influences and showcasing original artwork by Kumi Sugai, you can try out some natural wine &amp; sake. Stylish and understated, this is for the eclectic and David-Lynch-vibey crowd (don&#8217;t tell them we said that.)

Picture of the inside of "Merkur Bar Oslo". The bar has a traditional feel, with older, wooden-coloured furniture. On the bar counter there is a selection of beverages and a monstera plant. On the wall hangs a picture of a sunset.

If you like the sound of cocktails and good music a little less on the modern side, this is the place to go for a calmer evening out. During the day, you can swing by for a coffee, read a book, or chat with the interesting clientele.

In Slemdal, you can find a well-kept secret worth searching for. Mystical, historical, and dramatic all at once, the museum&#8217;s main attraction is a dark, barrel-vaulted room with walls covered in fresco paintings. The 800-square-meter painting Vita showcases human life from conception to death in often explicitly erotic scenes. A remarkable sight and out of the ordinary. The museum is open every Sunday, and booking tickets online ahead of time is recommended.

Being the world&#8217;s largest sculpture park, this is a must-see! With an early introduction to the Italian Renaissance, Gustav Vigeland eventually found his own inspired but still unique style and has made over 200 large-scale sculptures in granite, bronze, and iron. The sculptures were installed mainly in the period of 1940-1949, but show his life work for over 40 years. All sculptures show a beautiful depiction of humanity. Start at the Fountain, then move towards the Monolith and the Bridge. Free &amp; always open!
