Park 29

Oslo


Set in one of Oslo's oldest remaining wooden villas (once the home of composer Halfdan Kjerulf and later a legendary car dealer) and with a summer dining lawn, this must be one of Oslo's prettiest restaurants. A menu of simply if carefully done international and Norwegian classics is attractively plated and the upmarket wine list is a treat to sample.
