Famous funkis restaurant with panorama view over Oslo. Next to the park carrying the same name so you can visit the park, have a walk and then sit down and enjoy the view. Always one vegetarian dish on the menu, they say. Easy access using the tram 18 or 19 from the city (Oslo S) and jump off at Ekebergparken. A bit high-end priced.
