CurrentFood and restaurant prices in Norway

You can check out restaurant menu prices.

Peppe's Pizza is popular because of their affordable pizza prices. You'll spend more on beer (øl) than pizza.

The only couple of things I will add...
- Alcohol of any kind is exorbitantly expensive. If you want your meal tab to stay reasonably middle-priced then drink water...it's complimentary at most restaurants if you just ask.
- We kept our costs down by only eating one meal out per day. For the others we would make our own breakfast (or eat the hotel breakfast if that was the case) and then picnic from the grocery store for either lunch or dinner. Grocery stores aren't that much more expensive than the ones at home providing you eat as the locals do.

If you need alcohol, the cheapest alcohol in Norway is sold in the duty free shop at the airports before you go through the customs gate. High alcohol beverages (>4.75%) can only be sold by the Wine Monopoly (Vinmonopolet). There is one in the Oslo S.

Norwegians out for a wild night on the town will have pre-dinner drinks in their homes before going to the restaurant, then try to stretch out their alcoholic beverage and not chug. Alcohol is so pricey (highly taxed) that the wine glasses will often have a etched line marking the pour line. A full glass of wine, to the second pour line is charged as two servings of wine.

As noted, low alcohol beer can be bought in the markets. But if you want aquavit, its a trip to the Vinmonopolet.

Thanks everyone for your responses and info.
I plan on taking approximately 14 persons to Oslo and Bergen next September and am gathering info for that trip now
I was in Oslo late march last year for four days. I did not keep track of my expenses but was eating and staying at regular type eateries and hotel. I do remember I stayed at the City Box hotel which was reasonable priced with great location and ate a couple dinners at the Cathedral Cafe.. And would recommend it.
Thanks, george
