Norwegian Food - What to Eat in Norway

Heading to Oslo or Bergen & Wondering what to eat in Norway?
Here we have a short video that covers just a few typical dishes you may have while you are in Norway. From Elk and Reindeer to Salmon, cod & Herring. Don't forget some cinnamon rolls or Kvikk Lunsij, the Norwegian version of Kit Kat (which Norwegians will tell you is much better).

When the weather is good, just hit the supermarkets for lunch. Get some cheese, fish, bread and have a picnic. You will save lots of money. Even Oslo can be relatively cheap if you use your head.

The glory of Norwegian food is its baking. The many kinds of brown and whole grain breads and flatbreads. And the Fantastic addicting cakes and cookies.

[@olaandreolsen3036]

In Norway during the summer, you must eat seafood. Dig salmon, smoked salmon, lobster, king crab, scallops, oysters and all you can find of the sea's delicacies. In the autumn we eat lamb, elk, deer, forest birds and all that our forests can offer of mushrooms and berries and freshly picked potatoes. In winter and especially for Christmas, you eat Christmas ribs from pigs or sheep, or from the sea you eat halibut or dried cod (baccalao). In the spring, when we start to approach the summer again, we like to eat birds, as well as fresh vegetables such as. white asparagus. Norway is known for extremely good ingredients and Norwegian chefs and restaurants are among the best in the world. Besides, no meals in Norway without good bread. A coarse "home-baked" bread is high on all Norwegians' wish list. For dessert, eat ice cream and the world's best berries that have been grown in an intense Scandinavian midnight sun. There is no better. :-)

The flat bread to wrap around the sausage is called, Norwegian Potato Flatbread, named "Lefse".

[@solveig8943]

Im a norwegian and there are very few norwegian traditional restaurants here... maybe in the most expensive restaurants you can get it. If you are a tourist in Oslo you should try to go to *bondeheimen - kaffistova*. There you can get several different traditional norwegian dishes like *dampet laks* - salmon, *komler raspeballer*, *kjøttkaker i brun saus* - meat cakes in brøwn delicious sauce and pea stew, potatoes and lingonberry jam. *Pinnekjøtt - which is salty slow cooked sheep lamb with *kålrotstappe*, boiled potatoes and a reeally good sausage called *vossakorv*. I grew up with this dish and you can have it together with *komler raspeballer* which is a big potato dough ball and sometimes there is a meat surprice in the middle. Sprinkle sugar over the komle raspeballe and it tastes amazing. Of course this is best home cooked. Hugs

[@hildegunnurdahl5130]

What about pinnekjøtt, or svineribbe? (just google to see how it looks but well.. the first is steamed dried and or salted lamb meat and the second is pork ribs (but not US pork ribs obviously..)) usually eaten on Christmas eve? Even Smalahove (.. if you can stomach the look of it the meat is good.. lamb head/face essentially) or fårikål (lamb meat and cabbage.. its usually in season in autumn or if you're lucky). Fish soup (if you like that+) and otherwise other traditional type home cooked meals which can also be pretty good (even more so if the cook is a little creative and free with the spices (sometimes restaurants can be a little 'bland' though and basically adapt to everyone's tastes and therefore to nobody's tastes). There's a variety of deserts that are pretty good as well :) ..

[@Nubianette]

The beer is great, if you know where to look! Nøgne Ø makes good beer. Look for craft breweries and beer bars. Yes, very expensive! They have great food! None of my friends are eating dozen pizzas. People do tend to eat at home more, but there's sushi, Peruvian, and good Mexican food. There are people from those countries making great food with the local produce. At least in Trondheim. Oh the fish is so great! In America, I'm allergic to strawberries, but I can eat the tiny, wild strawberries they have in the spring. So good, on top of waffles with fresh whipped cream! Or, the sweet brown cheese on top of waffles. The only cheap thing were the waffles and cinnamon rolls. Cheapest, cinnamon rolls in 7-Eleven. They were like 3 for $2.00, or something.

[@goestplus]

I spent time in the Lofotens & Trondheim a few years ago, and all the food I had was incredible! Breads, seasonal produce, cheese, all the different kinds of tinned fish that people eat on toast. So tasty! I especially loved waffles and brown cheese, cloudberries, and all of the incredible foods that come in a tube!

[@nikkiep23]

Hi Mark! I love Norway! I was just there for work last week. I go twice a year. I love the brown goat cheese wrapped in a buttery waffle. It's sold in the grocery stores. Open face sandwiches are a big thing there too. Trout and salmon are awesome too. I'm actually working on moving there. I'm partial to Raufoss, Norway because it's small and quaint but offers a lot. Kongsberg is nice too. I actually like all of Scandinavia.

[@Cta2006]

Tipping is not customery in Norway. Not that you can't do it. But it's not like anyone is gonna throw you to the curb if you don't. If you add the 16 % + tip that you have to pay in the USA for instance, Norway is not that far off in comparison. Tip is either already included or not expected.

[@vesleengen]

That tortilla Mark mentions is called "lompe" Its made from potato. We use that mostly for hotdogs but it's also popular with butter, sugar and cinnamon. Look for Vestlandslefse in shops. Beer up to 4.7% can be bought in shops. Note that you can only buy it on weekdays from 9am to 8pm and 9am to 6pm on Saturdays. No alcohol sale in shops on Sunday. Wine, stronger beer and hard alcohol is sold at Vinmonopolet. witch is the government controlled shops. A bottle of decent wine is about 120-150NOK (15-20USD) and 40% vodka is close to 300+NOK (40USD) A pint of beer in a bar is usually between 8-12USD If you want to make it as cheep as possible here I recommend buying bread and groceries in shops and having a picnic in a park or to make a packed lunch. Otherwise eat all you can at the hotel in the morning. Feel free to ask me any other questions about Norway and I will try to answer asap.

[@laniel9007]

A lot of Norwegians will cook and eat at home, rather than go out. It's not all frozen pizza and hotdogs.^^ It depends on what part of the country you're in. Oslo is a kind of tourist trap city imo lol.

1) Only buy Leif Vidar hotdogs. They are the best quality in Norway. You can see Leif Vidar in this video. 2) Fresh whale beef is tasty, healthy, meaty and cheap. It's great. Fresh whale stew in brown sauce with potato and beer is close to heaven. 3) Real Norwegians get their protein from a farmer or fisherman or buy it direct from the factory. Whale is actually a cheap meat when you buy it fresh from the source.

Very expensive. Excellent advice, though they tend to undercook that reindeer so ask them to push that a bit when you order. The beer is okay but they are defensive about it. Way up north (Tromso) the local brewery is Mack, which has some good varieties. The goat cheese is excellent, goes well on your breakfast waffle, but it has to be thin or it overpowers the other flavors. I liked the food in Bergen better than in Oslo, but that may have just been our luck.

I would say we have a large selection of non-alcoholic beverages here in Norway, that's to say in the supermarkets. We have namely something we call "saft", a kind of juice which is made of berries, or orange, or apples, which you have to mix with water (like 1:4). That's the most inexpensive drink you can buy, and you get it with/without added sugar. (But only in the supermarkets, never in the restaurants.)

[@vesleengen]

We have a large selection from all major companies like Pepsi and Coke. ANd we also have our own companies making soda and other soft drinks as well. If you miss Surge in the US then we still have it. It's just named Urge here.

I had whale meat when I was in Oslo and it was delicious but it’s only harvested seasonally so it’s not always available Lutefisk Is survival food added using potash instead of salt to preserve it, so it requires another chemical to rehydrate sodium peroxide What lurefisk flavored with matters. Unfortunately, they use butter and cream so in many ways they’re putting the fat and the calories back into it using dairy

[@vghc]

No kidding its expensive....I found out that Statoil(gas stations) have good sandwiches at affordable price.

[@janhanchenmichelsen2627]

Hehe, we Norwegians deserve some of our reputation as a mediocre and expensive country, food-wise. There’s a reason so many Norwegians are looking forward to any visit to more civilised countries. The main reason for the prices is that Norway is a high income country. More important: Most people working in the restaurants are paid decent wages. (It’s definately not a high income industry and some tipping is appreciated, but the people working at the pub or cafe get paid. The do not rely on tipping). Alcohol taxes are also very, very high. But the story is really not as bleak as in Wolter’s description. Eating or drinking around tourist areas like the Aker Brygge waterfront in Oslo and close to Bryggen and the fish marked in Bergen can be very expensive. But in all larger towns you will find many good gastropubs, nice bistros and more student oriented places with very nice and not too expensive food. Often Italian/french/spanish. Also, more exotic food, especially Indian/Pakistani-styled restaurants will often very give you good value for your money. To fill up for the whole day, most breakfast buffets at hotels are not too expensive and can be very good. For some late night food, go for the kebab-option. Better than your (very) average standard sausage. When it comes to classical, Norwegian dining, there are places that will serve you really fantastic food without breaking the bank. But they can be kind of hard to find, do some research online and check out the "dagens", the speciality of the day. And yes, the major national brewers do make bland "industrial lagers". But more often than not, the booming micro brewery scene will be represented with some world class brews, even on tap.

I think you should have a video addressing the importance of picking the right travel companions. Your videos regarding what to eat reminds me of a trip I took with two coworkers. We went to Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. It started to be uncomfortable for me on our first day in Sydney. We were at a restaurant, they asked the waiter (who was an American) was there something wrong with the ketchup. He said no, it had different spices (he went on to explain that ketchup is something that is slightly different in each country). After that; everywhere we went they asked the waiter or cashier if they carried American ketchup. That was just the beginning. I'm not putting them down, they just wanted a different experience that I did. One of the girls would become physically ill when eating food she wasn't used to. It was hard for me, as they didn't appreciate my company either. That was an expensive trip for me, I saved a long time for that experience and I felt as though I didn't experience a lot of things I would have if on my own or with other people. We literally at at KFC or McDonald's every day.

[@annabella9105]

Most convenience stores have an ok vegan selection. Eating out as a vegan in small town Norway is not super exciting, but most restaurants offer a simple vegan option or two (if not on the menu, they will be happy to arrange something if you ask)😊 Look for Indian or middel eastern restaurants for the best selection. You will easily get full, but you will probably not have the lifetime of a food adventure 😉 The largest cities have nice vegan restaurants though.

[@runarandersen878]

As a Norwegian I don't eat half of what you mention here. I do recommend the whale. When cooked right it is tasteful! Also the lamb is very good. Try fårikål (lamb and cabbage). Meatballs is quite common as a an everyday meal. So is "lapskaus" that is a form of stew or sloppy joe. Reindeer is okey I think, but expensive on restaurant. While some eat cinnamon buns, I have never heard of it as a typical Norwegian thing. You are right that the special hotdog is common here, however I don't like it and it is more common with ordinary bread. In your videos you also talk a lot about the chocolate Kvikk Lunch. Yes it is old and some people by them, but not everyone. It is more of an advertisement gimmick what you eat it on skiing trip and so on. I prefer Bamsemoms and Gullbrød from Nidar. For Easter and Christmas it is very common to eat marzipan candy, often covered with chocolate.

[@runarandersen878]

@Surtsey TT : I am not killing the whale. It is killed instantly buy experienced fishermen, and they are controlled by the government. They have a quota they can catch, so it is fished sustainable. Just like other fish. Do you eat pigs or cows? Don’t you think they beautiful? To me they are more beautiful than whale, but I still eat them. Isn’t it better to eat a an animal who have been living in the free the whole time, than eating a an animal that have been living inside a building in captivity it’s whole life with only purpose to be eaten? So in conclusion: As long as the whale is captured sustainable and it doesn’t suffer, I have no problem eating it. You should try it.

I live in Norway and I think that Norway has the worst food out of the Nordic countries. The fish and seafood do have really good quality but the chefs are not that good and shops do have a very poor selection of groceries. Norway basically have about a forth of the selection compared to Sweden or Denmark in the grocery shops. If you like seafood, go to Iceland instead because they do know how to prepare it. If you like meat you should go to either Iceland, Denmark or Sweden. Norway do however have really beautiful nature and is comparable to the alps when it comes to skiing :)

Why is Norwegian food so expensive?

[@johnuferbach9166]

because everything in norway is so expensive... and their wages are pretty high on average, so it kinda balances itself^^

[@karltommyhoang6865]

norwegians love taco and lasagne

[@jonathanedwards8696]

Have you been to the Molde Jazz Festival? It's the oldest jazz festival in Europe and you can usually see some of the long list of world famous Norwegian jazz musicians there.

Most Norwegians do not eat goat cheese.

[@LaLeoRonroneo]

So sorry to hear you were not impressed with the cuisine in Norway. I thought the food and beer was great! pricey but quality yummy stuff.

[@GLopezMad]

Great? No way. Great in Spain, Portugal or Italy but in Scandinavia no way.

[@keithanderson7720]

flesk, kumpa, lupskaus....... i can see why there are so many videos out there telling people why you shouldn't move to norway, i don't blame them. go back to protesting transistion rights.

[@thephoenix3155]

Go to Scotland instead it's cheaper

[@mandyoy]

You should definitely try traditional foods like kjøttkake, fiskeboller, fårikål, and flesk & duppe. They are all delicious! :)

[@GLopezMad]

Buff traditional food in Norway is boring and too pricey!

[@oscarp.m1139]

Kjøp Grandiosa

[@LifeOnHoth]

Hahaha yeah. The one that came up with that name probably felt grandiose. Come on... that pizza is just horrible! It's some half wet bread with some tasteless tomato sauce, ham and topped with bell pepper... really? Nobody should have to eat that crap. Hahaha. Yeah I know there are variations. Yeah it's cheap. But it's horrible. Better off baking ur own pizza then.

12 Dollars for a McDonalds in Oslo. :0

[@Shiraz354]

come to canada and it's $1.75

[@LifeOnHoth]

Point is - McDonald's or Burger King will give u a LOT more for the money here than hotdogs from 7eleven... haha. And also - to say 12 dollars... for what? McDonald's is cheap here. If u want fastfood - find one and keep away from those nasty priced 7elevens and equivalent stores.

Whale. Eat Whale meat. It is so very excellent.

[@theErmysick]

Whale taste like beef

[@janhanchenmichelsen2627]

With a whiff of trawler cargo hold :-)

[@bethechangeyouwannaseeinth9488]

no!!!! they are not for eating!!

[@theErmysick]

be the change you wanna see in the world yes they are

[@adelarsen9776]

Fresh whale beef is tasty, meaty and healthy. Whale stew or whale BBQ is so good with beer.

[@LifeOnHoth]

@@bethechangeyouwannaseeinth9488 sorry to disappoint u but people have been living off the sea for thousands of years. Just because u like Willy to live doesn't make him less of a dinner. This is the reality. If u want to change something - get draught victims water, stop using plastics as best u can, plant trees to combat desert growth. I'm not trying to be rude, but this is the reality. Eat whale... just dont eat them all.

[@kamilzabiegala1649]

Do they have whale burgers?

[@jonathanedwards8696]

You must have really poor taste! I did two semesters of post graduate study in Oslo, and I remember drinking the best beer I ever had!
