Food Scene
New café / coffee bar at Tøyen Torg, near to the apartment and metro station. They have a split service - one part is café, very nice for coffee/lunch at daytime, and the other part is restaurant, with a new nordic kitchen. I bit more expensive, but worth it if you want to have a taste of the modern nordic gastronomy.

Hip pizza restaurant and bar close to the apartment and metro station Tøyen. The restaurant is located at Tøyen Torg, the new urban neighborhood in Oslo. NB NB! The map shows the wrong address for some reason - address is Hagegata 27

Perfect for summer days! Just behind the opera house you find the new hang out by the see, Sukkerbiten and Sørenga, where people come to swim or hang out on sunny days. At Sukkerbiten you can have beer and food and sit by the sea.

Favorite pizza restaurant in Oslo (Italian), at the heart of Grünerløkka, with lots of bars and other restaurant surrounding. Always very popular, be prepared to wait a few minutes to get a table if you come at prime dinner time.

You probably have already hear of Frognerparken/Vigelandsparken if you have done some Oslo research, but I'll send my recommendations as well. A beautiful sculpture park.
