Åpent Bakerei CAFE
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 22 04 96 67; Inkognito terasse 1; 7.30am-5pm Mon-Fri, 8am-3pm Sat)
A neighbourhood cafe that serves coffee in deep, cream-coloured bowls and has unbeat-
able breads and pastries. A freshly baked roll topped with homemaderøre syltetøy
(stirred jam) and enjoyed on the bakery's patio makes for one of Oslo's best, and least ex-
pensive, breakfasts.
Bars & Clubs
Going out in one of the world's most expensive cities requires a bit of skill, but high prices
certainly don't keep the locals at home. Quite the opposite: Oslo is more vibrant, busy and
nonchalantly proud of its up-and-coming status than ever. And the manageable size of the
city makes it easy to figure out where to be on any given night.
Note that many Oslo nightspots have an unwritten dress code that expects patrons to be
relatively well turned out - at the very least, don't show up in grubby gear and hiking
boots. For most bars and clubs that serve beer and wine, you must be over 18 years of age,
but many places, especially those that serve spirits, impose a higher age limit. On week-
ends, most Oslo nightspots remain open until at least 3am.
Beer prices for half-litres typically range from Nkr50 to Nkr75, but for those travellers
watching their kroner, some places (usually grim and inhabited by wary elbow-on-the-bar
locals) charge as little as Nkr35.
The city's best neighbourhood bar scene is along Thorvald Meyers gate and the sur-
rounding streets in Grünerløkka. The Youngstorget area has some of the most popular
places close to the city centre and the new developments around Aker Brygge have
brought more after-dark life to the waterfront, while the Grønland neighbourhood has a
more alternative feel.
