Restaurant
Illegal Burger
Møllergata 23, 0179 Oslo 1 hour
The place is tiny and quite dark, but the burgers are arguably the best in town. No fuss, just really good food cooked over charcoal. There’s almost always a queue, but it’s worth it. Don’t expect white tablecloths; it’s casual and straightforward.
Why it works
It’s quick and unpretentious. Great if you’re heading to a concert or a bar afterwards.
What to order
Share a bacon cheeseburger and a side of truffle fries. It's the perfect amount.
Best time to go
Right after work before the line gets too long.
What it costs
400–550 NOK for two
