Norwegian cooking unforgettable. The restaurant focuses on using local seafood and meat,

Ifyou're
not in the mood for the formal dining room of Markveien Mat & Vinhus, slide into one
of the dark wooden booths at Dr Kneipp's next door for finger food with a strong Spanish
and Italian flavour or a sumptuous dessert (the cheesecake is legendary), not to mention an
amazing 400-strong wine list. Another plus for the place is the super-friendly staff.

Sult has a polished green-and-black col-
our scheme and perfectly captures the Grünerløkka vibe with an imaginative menu replete
with superb fish and pasta dishes often using local and organic ingredients. It's always
packed, so get here early and wait for a table in the attached bar appropriately called Tørst
(meaning 'thirsty').
