Ekebergrestauranten
Kongsveien 15, 0193 Oslo 2 h 30 min
This building is a total classic sitting on the hill above Oslo. Inside, huge windows give you the whole city as a backdrop while you eat. The food is traditional and solid, and the place feels a bit more special than your average bistro. It’s a great spot if you want to dress up a little and have an evening where the view does half the work. After dinner, it's just a short walk to the woods right outside the door.
Why it works
The view is so good that it doesn't matter if there are a few quiet pauses in the conversation.
What to order
Try to snag a table right by the window, and finish with something sweet on the terrace if the weather is nice.
Best time to go
Right before the sun goes down.
What it costs
1300–1900 NOK for two
