Norway's tasty restaurants

Sink your teeth into a feast of flavours in Norway. You'll find many different varieties of delicious food, from seafood restaurants with local treats to exquisite tastes originating from all over the world. Dig in!

Follow the scent of fresh, local food and find a vacant table – maybe even one with a view. In Norway, you’re certain to find culinary experiences that fit your tastebuds (and budget).

An increasing enthusiasm for food is creating a huge surge of new style restaurants and easy-going eateries all over the country, from the major cities to more remote places.

Many Norwegian chefs go abroad to work at renowned restaurants before returning home to open their own and renew the Norwegian food traditions.

Cities like Oslo, Bergen, and Stavanger in particular have become important hubs for both Norwegian and foreign chefs, in addition to aspiring professionals willing to come and learn about the new Nordic cuisine. Trondheim and Trøndelag, European Region of Gastronomy 2022, have become one of the hottest spots for foodies from all over the world.

The result is a multitude of choices for those who hold that good food is one of the main ingredients of a good holiday. Discover traditional classics and eat your way through Michelin-starred restaurants and casual local favourites.
