I am SO glad this bakery isn't four blocks closer to my apartment, because I would go there every single day. Their croissants with apple and vanilla custard are scarily good. Short walk from the apartment, but luckily not too short...

This is my favourite restaurant in Oslo! Small, intimate premises in what used to be a biker bar. The chef is Islandic and formerly worked on THE best restaurant in Oslo (Ylajali, closed in December 2015 sadly). This is Icelandic, Asian and Nordic gourmet food in one. The ambience is easy-going, but the staff is knowledgable and the food is stuff you've never tasted before. I'm quickly approaching 10 visits...

Åpent Bakeri is a chain of really good bakeries in Oslo. The first one opened about ten years ago and became an instant hit because of their uncompromising take on baked goods. Their cinnamon buns are amazing, and even though they've expanded, the place is still as good. This is the bakery me and my girlfriend visit because the surrounding area is so beautiful. It's in a quiet, rich area, with old houses and a fountain close-by.

As a food lover I've been to my share of food markets, or food halls, around the world. Nothing beats this one. The chicken place, Stangeriet, has amazing food, but my favourite is the place called Ma Poule. Their duck confit sandwich is affordable, but so, so good! They also have restaurants for every taste, a good butcher, a fish market etc. Everything you need, but some of the places are kind of pricy.

My drunk food temple. The only place I can eat fast food kebabs sober too. Order the double shish kebab in a tortilla (in roll), but be careful with the dressing (medium is enough unless you love spicy stuff). They also have great falafel.

Oslo is flushed with amazing burger restaurants! San Francisco, Amsterdam, Copenhagen...none of the mentioned beats Oslo when it comes to burgers. Illegal Burger is the classic amazing burger place, and I've never been disappointed by their burgers. The Hot Mama Deluxe is my personal favourite, but both their truffel burger, their Illegal special and the Ol' Mcdonald is great. My tip if you're really hungry: order two small ones instead of a double with fries.

Delicatessen has three tapas restaurants in Oslo, after the first one on Grünerløkka being a major success. The restaurant on Aker Brygge is the best one though (it's also the most expensive one...). Really good tapas with a Scandinavian twist, plus a solid wine repertoar.

This is a hidden gem in Oslo. Really good Vietnamese food that's not too expensive. When my dad visits, this is our emergency restaurant because it's (weirdly enough) never fully booked. The explanation is probably because it's kind of hidden - in the third floor in an expensive mall which is closed at night time.

My personal museum favourite in Oslo! The Norwegian Technical Museum is such a fun place! Always a good, current exhibit, a large area with permanent exhibitions, which makes a perfect museum for people of all ages. By the way: every Thursday they have late night events. Beer + technical fun is always good - in my mind.

For the movie lovers, this place is a hidden gem. This was the biggest positive surprise for me when I moved to Oslo, with a lineup of everything from niche cinema to old amazing movies. Check out their lineup if you want a cinematic experience. Their largest theater is also equipped with perfect sound, screens and everything for the movie lover.
