Olympen

Housed in Oslo's oldest pub premises, which date back to 1892, Olympen is part drinking den and part restaurant in a traditional beer hall adorned with massive chandeliers, ancient paintings of Oslo, and wooden pews. It's constantly packed with a young crowd who come for the whopping choice of more than 150 beers from Norwegian microbreweries and for the food menu, which is outstandingly good value for this stratospherically expensive city. Dishes include organic lamb sausages, grilled bass, and salmon paired with caviar. Best of all there's a flat-rate lunchtime super-saver dish that changes daily.
