The best restaurants Norway

Timetable

Norwegian mealtimes differ from those in France. A good breakfast in the morning, lunch from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., often a light meal. Dinner(middag) is served from 5pm. Most bars and restaurants are open every day and serve food outside these hours.

Budget & Tips

You should expect to pay at least €15 for a meal, even on the run. For something a little more elaborate, prices are around €25-35. Doggy bag available, even if no one else does! Very expensive alcohol. Unfortunately, it has become almost impossible to pay in cash... In some establishments, you order and pay directly at the counter.

What costs extra

Water and bread are served at the table free of charge. There is rarely bread to wait for, however.

Tipping. In hotels, restaurants and cafés, service is included, so there's no need to tip. It is, however, a good idea to round up the bill, but here again, it's up to you to judge according to the service you receive. Often, you'll be asked to add the tip directly when you pay at the credit card terminal.

Taxes. In Norway, prices are quoted inclusive of all taxes.

Kids

Children are welcome everywhere, and there's often a special menu for them, and sometimes even games. In restaurants, there are often chairs adapted for toddlers, and sometimes a special children's menu.

Smokers

No smoking inside public spaces.
