Description:

Take a walk on the foodie side of Oslo and delve into the delicious world of New Nordic cuisine, full of fresh produce and natural ingredients. With an expert guide, taste popular, authentic Norwegian bites at some of the area's best local haunts.

Purity, freshness, simplicity, and nature are the main themes in Oslo's thriving culinary scene. In a country of vast forests, stunning fjords, crystal-clear lakes, and the ocean, the food of Norway promotes a nutritious, healthy diet. Learn about the local cuisine as you walk off the city's beaten path with a professional guide.

Head to Mathallen, a lively food hall with more than 60 stalls of small-scale producers and organic farmers. Sample flavorful, rich cheese varieties, Norwegian honey, and knekkebrød (crispbread). Discover other local specialties, like berries with chocolate or aquavit sausages, and hear about local food heritage and how it's incorporated into New Nordic cuisine.

Visit a renowned restaurant, decorated like a rorbu (fisherman's house). The kitchen has a strong maritime focus, offering dishes like cod tongue, seagull egg, and even lutefisk (dried fish)—depending on the season. Conclude your culinary experience at a microbrewery, exploring the facility and tasting 3 craft beers.
