5 Tasty Places to Eat in The Neighborhood Frogner in Oslo

June 22, 2016
7 Tasty Places to Eat in Frogner, Oslo

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.

Directions by Google – Åpent Bakeri

Prices from 39 – 180 NOK / 4 – 15 USD

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.

Directions by Google – Pizza Da Mimmo

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

74-80 NOK / 5-10 USD

My name is Pauline, and I'm a Norwegian girl who started to explore the beautiful world for some time, and now I can't stop. I have to see what's out there. I love discovering new places, meeting new people, have crazy experiences and unique stories to tell. Life is for living, and I like living in adventures.

    A Norwegian Travel Voice & Trying to Impact the World by Nudging People to Choose More Sustainable Travel.

    I’m shaped by nature. I grew up at the edge of th I’m shaped by nature.

I grew up at the edge of the Stadt peninsula — where the ocean doesn’t negotiate and the wind decides your plans. You learn early to read the sky. To sense the shift before the squall rolls in. To move before the door is pushed open.

The weather isn’t small talk at the coast.
It’s strategy.
It’s timing.
It’s survival.

And the women knew it best.

While the men were at sea, coastal women held everything together — land, livestock, homes, children, community. They didn’t call it resilience. They simply lived it.

They understood something very important that we need to remember well. 

You don’t dominate nature.
You collaborate with it.

Today I live in the Lofoten Islands, again surrounded by strong coastal women. Different generation. Same backbone.

To adapt when conditions shift.
To build with the landscape, not against it.
To know when to move — and when to stand firm.

To me, that is a coastal inheritance. 

The coast teaches you self-efficacy. Patience. Awareness. Respect.

It shapes women who know that sustainability isn’t about control — it’s about relationship.

And that’s the spirit I carry into my work, my travels, and the future I’m building.

Thank you @dino.serrao for capturing my coastal spirit in this portrait.
    2025 was rich in good memories, wonderful times wi 2025 was rich in good memories, wonderful times with family and friends! It went so fast! Many highlights this year! And many great hikes even in Lofoten and Sunnmøre! 

2025, I have used less time on my phone more flight mode, more with just being. It will continue onward for 2026. I’m still traveling and doing many mini adventures. Mostly being with loved ones. 

In April we were in Cuba, which always disconnect but reconnect you much better with what matters and the importance of being grateful and appreciating what you have in Life. When we travel, how can we travel well, how do we show up at a destination. 

My last international travel this year was Lanzarote, famous for its landscape and architecture. Best of all traveling with my sister. We used public buses, eat at different local places and guided tour to the national park. What an island! 

I think one word that has been important this year for me is mindful. Be aware, be curious, ask open questions, reflect more before speaking and listen. 

Being in nature is the best gift for human nature. We must visit more often. We must focus on our sleep quality. 

I think 2025 have been a year of flowing and protecting my energy on what sparks joy to me. The most limited resource we have is time. How can we live the most happy with the time we have. How can we use our time and energy well. 

2025 I’m very grateful for the year it was a blessing filled with love laughters, friendship and some important life reflections and some new changes. 

2026, welcome let’s embrace and see where the wind takes us this year! 

Wishing you all the very best new year filled with abundance, hope and peace. May the year be as good as you want it to be! Or even better as magical as you want ✨🤩
    October disappeared in the blink of an eye! 😃 The October disappeared in the blink of an eye! 😃 The start of the month was breathtaking in Lofoten. We welcomed German travel experts for a MEGAFAM trip in the Lofoten Islands and had a blast connecting with new faces and industry colleagues. Truly amazing!!🤩 #lofoten #lofotenislands #megafam #lofoteninfo #visitnorway
    Greece is always a good plan! This time we went is Greece is always a good plan! This time we went island jumping to Skiathos and Skopelos. You know the Mamma Mia Islands 🌞 Also Athens, but next post. I think Skopelos has the clearest water I have seen in Europe. So stunning so pure, wow! So green the Island. Could have been away longer as always, but now living slow cabin life before hitting back North. #islandescape #greece #visitgreece #skiathos #skopelos #islandsofadventure
