Elias mat & sånt
Kristian Augusts gate 14, 0164 Oslo 2 h 30 min
Intimate, relaxed, and remarkably good. With just a few tables, the atmosphere stays quiet and easygoing. The menu changes with the seasons, and dishes are often brought out by the chef in person. It feels like being invited to a friend’s place who happens to be an incredible cook — only the food on your plate is top-tier.
