Food Scene
Delicious sushi and bao's in a tiny spot. In the summer, we recommend to get take-away and sit in one of the nearby parks or next to the river (Akerselva). Make sure you go to the café, not the restaurant in the back. The café and restaurant have different menus and are in different price ranges (restaurant = pricey).

A sort of pub, almost an institution in the neighbourhood, this is the only proper kitchen that serves food every night until 2:30am. Not a gourmet experience, but big servings though :)
