Katla
Universitetsgata 12, 0164 Oslo 2 h 30 min
The grill is always hot and the music is loud. Katla has this style where everything tastes slightly charred in the best way possible, with flavors from all over. The space is open and there's a lot going on. It's a cool spot if you're into wine and food with a bit of a kick.
Why it works
Since you're sharing the food, there's less pressure to just sit and stare at each other. The vibe is more like a party than a formal dinner.
What to order
Pick 4-5 small plates together and ask them to find a bottle of wine to match.
Best time to go
Around 6 PM, before it gets too crowded.
What it costs
1200–1800 NOK for two
