The best grocery store around!!! And I would say in Oslo but can't as I am so new here (although I…read morehave a hunch it's the best!). Especially if you are a foreigner like Greek, Italian, Turkish, Asian, Arabic this store is something you must know about! It has many things you can not find anywhere else. I as a Greek found Greek feta, olive oil, cheese, yoghurt, balsamic, olives and there must be more products I haven't discovered yet!! All from Greece from brands that are well known. There are also specialties like Italian pasta, lots of Asian sauces and ingredients, beans that you don't find easily in the stores, etc. just go and try it yourself! There is something for everyone! Also the fruits are of very good quality and they have ALL kinds! Plus they have the cheapest nuts you can find. Definitely good for saving some money. Also it is open on Sundays too until 22:00 so it is a good place to get food when the other supermarkets are closed. Enjoy!

If you're trying to live healthy on a budget, this is your place to go for your groceries. The…read morefruit and vegetables section is like nothing else in Oslo, and the prices are often half of what you would pay at Meny. Sure, it's probably not organic, but my experience from organic farming tells me that these vegetables look and smells like nutritious plants should - in contrast to their watery supermarket cousins whom you find at the bigger chains. This is because the owners of this and other import stores doesn't buy their supply from the big corporate mega farms like the regular supermarkets do, but from smaller import companies. They go daily to the warehouses to find the highest quality vegetables to the best prices. This also means that prices and assortment varies with the seasons - something I highly appreciate. If you learn the "vegetable and fruit year" and keep your eyes open, you can make real bargains and lower your food budget further. Here you can also find a lot of other natural products that you would pay the double or more for in health food stores or regular supermarkets: additive free coconut milk, organic virgin coconut oil, olives, goat cheese, nut oils and even an assortment of herbal fluoride-free toothpastes - just to mention a few. I love this store so much that I often bring a big trolley all the way from Nesodden, to be filled with yumminess. And while I'm at it, popping into the butcher across the street to buy some lamb meat. Just be aware that afternoons - especially on Fridays and Saturdays - can be very busy.

This is one of the two BEST fruit & veg shops in Oslo centrum (the other being the one in Grønland)…read morein terms of selection and price. Foreigners always get depressed by the lack of variety of fruit & veg in Norway, but a visit here would brighten their outlook. Some things you don't see in normal supermarkets: savoy cabbage, turkish peppers, rhubarb, plantains, pakchoi.. Great quality, more juicy cherry tomatoes and better berries or fresh herbs than Kiwi or REMA1000 (and cheaper too!). On top of that, they have a huge selection of rice, sauces, bottled legumes, canned goods, fresh feta, marinated olives and more. The shop's goods are pronouncedly Turkish (you can get all Knorr soups in Turkish) but there are some East/Southeast Asian stuff as well. Including the never-seen-elsewhere Indonesian ABC chili sauce!

They work really hard for him. I don't agree with how he treats his staff as I heard him yell at them several times, especially the women. No wonder why some of the staff working there hardly shows a smile. The boss also barely shows attention to the coustumers, and if he does he is plain just grumpy. I thought it just was a temporary thing, but now it has been like this for years and I have decided to rather support a shop that treats their staff well.

This is a great little shop that stocks a really good range of asian and middle eastern groceries…read more They also have a wide selection of fresh vegetables at much lower prices than at the supermarket. You can get all sorts of instant noodles, big bags of rice, sticky rice, korean chilli bean paste, indian spices and frozen seafood. It's pretty cramped in there though. The Brugata store doesn't have a great selection of Japanese groceries but their sister store in Calmeyers gate is much bigger and has much more Japanese food such as Japanese curry paste, japanese pickles, kewpie mayonnaise, hondashi stock, bulldog sauce etc. They also have a bigger freezers and a better range of seafood / meat products.

Well this place is a little gem! I felt like I was in a spanish tapas cafe/restaurant as soon as I…read morewalked in the door here. It's like a proper delicatessen that is also a restaurant, and has a bunch of artesian gourmet products, sauces, dressings, cheese, meats that you can buy to take home with you. They have a a la carte menu for the restaurant, or you can just drop in and buy some of the freshly made salads of the day or even grab a slice of cake. We had a deal with a charcuterie board, a glass of red wine each, and dessert, and added some olives and vegetarian spring rolls to go with the meal, all very fresh. I had the cheesecake for dessert and my partner had the tiramisu. Both were delicious. I feel like I shouldn't review this place because I want to go back. It's small and intimate, and I want to be able to get a table next time, I'd be very surprised if it doesn't become popular :)

However, yesterday my friend was craving some dessert late at night and after a quick search we realized that actual desserts are served here. Walked in around 9pm and they were wrapping up for the day, but the flan was staring at us along with some other desserts. We opted for a to go portion of the flan which was a great portion for two people and SUPER GOOD!!!!! I cannot wait to be back, grab some more flan and try their tiramisu and creme brulee. Prices for the desserts were all under 10USD which for Norway levels is okay.
