Restaurant and bar, with suffleboard. This is in a great area called "Tøyen". Tøyen most likely isn't in any tourist guide, so you will only meet locals here. Great for pizza (also gluten free) and drinks.

Modern Spanish cuisine, but with tastes from all over the world. Floor to ceiling windows, right next to a park. It's on the pricier side of restaurants on this list. They have a set menu, if you do that incl. all paired drinks it's around NOK 2200. Without drinks it's around NOK 1000. They're allergy-friendly, you just have to mention it. Really close to our apartment (not more than a 5 min walk).

Parks & Nature

The public transport boats go to all the islands right outside Oslo. The closest and biggest one, "Hovedøya", is only 5 minutes away. In winter it's a winter wonderland, in summer it's an amazing place to go bathing. There is a small café on the island (don't think that's open in winter though).

St. Hanshaugen park is such a beautiful oasis in Oslo. It's a hilly park, and from the top you'll have an almost 360 view over the city and the small islands. In summer there's usually an ice cream truck on the square by the nr 37 bus stop. And just across there's one of Oslo's best coffee shops, Java café.
