Frogner is my neighborhood and on the West side of Oslo. Some of my neighbors are the Royal Palace, Vigeland Sculpture Park, Embassy buildings, many luxurious apartment buildings, and exclusive stores providing the best in interior design and specialized stores. Frogner is the posh neighborhood, and I´m not going to hide that. It’s my neighborhood, and I love it. I love eating here!
5 Places to Eat in The Neighborhood of Frogner in Oslo
The best part about Frogner is that there are many great places to eat and drink. Frogner has nice gourmet restaurants but also a cute warm neighborhood café. I have now created the Insider tips of 7 Tasty Places to Eat in Frogner. Or where I end up ordering my food or dining with friends when having a fun night out!
My recommendations are not fancy and expansive places, and this is the place where you will afford to eat again and again.
1. El Camino in Nils Juels Street
Maybe you need a real lunch or a quick meal before hitting the town; then El Camino is the place for you! It is almost like Mexico and very close to the tacos I had in the food truck in Cozumel. You can have tacos, burritos or a bowl and a lot of tortilla chips. The choice is yours, and yes, the spicy sauce is spicy.
Directions by Google – El Camino
Prices from 59 – 180 NOK / 8 – 15 USD
2. Åpent Bakeri for Breakfast or Coffee Break
One of my favorite places are Åpent Bakeri my favorite of Places to Eat in Frogner, when it comes to Breakfast or Coffee. Åpent Bakeri is the place where the locals go to get there daily dose of coffee and freshly baked bread. This the place you go to get your morning coffee after a stroll in the beautiful Frogner Park! For me the best coffee in Frogner. It is a local bakery with a french pastry and a great place to enjoy the morning sun. Relax here and take a look at the local neighbor’s running in to get their morning bread and coffee.
Norwegians love their coffee. We usually don´t talk to each other before after the first-morning cup of coffee. Then we can start the day. There is often a line at the door, and this is how great the place is, just saying. Arrive early at 08:00 if you want to have more than just coffee.

3. Pizza da Mimmo at Behrens 2
(Secretly the best pizza in Oslo)
Pizza da Mimmo is one of my favorite places to eat in Frogner when it comes to pizza! Pizza da Mimmo is the best pizza in Oslo. People don’t acknowledge it because it is tiny. Please let´s keep it small and a well-kept secret. Pizza da Mimmo is an authentic Italian Pizza! If you can’t go to Italy this summer at least, you can eat pizza baked by an Italian in Oslo.

Prices from 150 – 200 / 15 – 20 USD
4. Jewel of India, Blue Elephant, or Japo Sushi?
I can’t decide which of them, I should represent you, they are delicious. Jewel of India is maybe one of the best Indian restaurants in Oslo and is proper dinning and mid-range in price. Blue Elephant is causal and even great for take-away food. It is real Thai, except that is not in Thailand and without the beach. I love the food on Monday, especially If I want to quit my job and go to Thailand and live on a beautiful island like Koh Tao.
Japo sushi has the best takeaway sushi in Frogner and all the locals go to her. If you are ordering at 18:00, accept the rush hour. It´s not expensive and neither fancy. Just a quick good eat and perfect after a long day with work. If you want the best sushi in Oslo, you go for Alex Sushi at Solli Place.
5. SmoothieXchange the American Way
I have to add this Smoothie Xchange place because it´s healthy and it´s the best recovery after anything heavy the night before. It is a perfect breakfast if you are on the healthy side. It is all about fruits, vitamins, acai, and healthy with no sugar.
Directions by Google – SmoothieXchange
