Norway Travel Tips

Restaurant Prices

Dining out in Norway can be a delightful experience, but itโ€™s important to be prepared for the costs, as prices tend to be higher than in many other countries. This is partly due to Norway's high cost of living and the country's emphasis on quality ingredients. Whether youโ€™re enjoying a quick meal at a casual eatery or indulging in a gourmet dining experience, hereโ€™s a guide to what you can expect.

For a casual meal at an inexpensive restaurant, prices generally range from 150 to 300 NOK. This could get you a basic dish like a burger, soup, or sandwich. Fast food options, like a meal at McDonaldโ€™s, typically cost around 120 NOK.


A mid-range restaurant with a three-course meal for two people will typically cost between 600 to 1,200 NOK. This would include a variety of options such as fresh seafood, reindeer steak, or vegetarian dishes.


High-end restaurants in Norway, known for their gourmet and fine dining experiences, can be quite pricey. A meal at a top-tier restaurant can easily cost over 1,500 NOK per person, especially if you are ordering a multi-course meal with wine pairings.


The cost of drinks also adds up. A beer at a bar or restaurant can cost between 80 to 120 NOK, while a glass of wine can range from 90 to 150 NOK. Non-alcoholic beverages like soda or bottled water are generally around 30 to 50 NOK.


Tips for Saving Money:

  • Many restaurants offer lunch specials that are more affordable than dinner prices.
  • Consider buying food from grocery stores for a picnic or self-catering if you have kitchen facilities.
  • Food Trucks offer delicious meals at a lower price compared to sit-down restaurants.
  • Take advantage of happy hour deals for cheaper drinks.

Understanding these prices can help you budget your trip more effectively and enjoy Norwayโ€™s culinary scene without breaking the bank.

Payments

Both cash and card payments are acceptable in most restaurants, but cards are preferred
