Liva's guide for fellow foodies
Matscene
My personal favorite! Located at Olaf Ryes place, a great place for people-watching. This is the place to visit for natural wine, great food and an amazing vibe. The waiters love their job and always has great recommendations for what to drink. If the weather is nice, you can sit outside. If you want to enjoy the vibe, ask for a table in the bar. At Skaal there are only walk-ins, but you usually get a table if you have a bit patience (it's worth it!!). About 10 minutes walking distance from the apartment.

This place is great for brunch! You should try their drink "Tøyen Mimosa". I recommend booking in advance as this a popular place. About 10 minutes walking distance for the apartment. (NB prepare yourself for a bit of a wait as the waiters are not the most effective)

Located in the best part of the city centre you'll find Generasjonsbaren. Great for brunch or dinner – or if you're craving natural wine. You should try their Rose Sangria – it's aaaamazing.

A great place to have brunch or dinner. This is both a clothing shop and a restaurant – but they offer great quality of both (The brand is a popular Norwegian brand – Holzweiler).

The best pizza in town. The place has a great vibe and amazing waiters. There are large sharing tables and a chill vibe. If you are two people, I recommend sharing 1 pizza and 1 of the antipasti: Bruschetta burrata e parma! YUM

17B TorggataGreat spot for a drink.
Another favorite!! I love this place! Unfortunately so do others, so it's difficult getting a table here. You could try calling the same day to check if there are cancellations – otherwise there are a few drop-in tables outside.
