Loved our tour guide (Lisa Tanya)...thorough history, spent extra time with us, etc. The only thing not favorable was the weather, but, hey, it was summer in the Baltics.

What To Expect

The tastings during this Culinary Tour are designed as a flavorful introduction to Norwegian cuisine — a curated selection that lets you discover authentic local flavors and traditions (snacks), rather than a full meal!

Norwegian cuisine in its traditional form is based largely on the raw materials readily available in Norway and its mountains, wilderness, and coast. This exciting tour shall include a visit to some historical restaurants and cafe. We will visit a famous chocolate shop, a gourmet supermarket, a canteen and a traditional pub. You will have the opportunity to try typical Norwegian dishes: salmon, fish soup (seasonal), meat, local beer and much more. This food tour is ideal for those who like to "try/taste" traditional Norwegian cuisine.

During the tour you will visit the historical center of Oslo, Aker Brygge area, the City Hall, the medieval Akershus fortress and the National Opera. The places you are going to visit are very popular among the locals. Everything is very authentic and delicious!

Tour price does not include tasting. Food and drinks are paid by the visitors.

NB! Food tastings are limited on Sundays and during week days after 6PM.
