Sushi is popular with fish-fanatical Norwegians. Elegant flower arrangements in three large windows decorate the entrance of this modern, minimalist sushi bar, arguably the city’s finest. Two sushi chefs 'perform’ at the long teak bar, rolling local king crab, shrimps and scallops as well as distinctly Norwegian whale sushi and kveit fett (halibut fat chopped with spring onions and rolled like uni sushi). A more leisurely meal featuring mains such as grilled eel with teriyaki sauce is available in a separate dining room. Last orders 10.15pm.

Grungy Grønland has the most authentic Asian restaurants, but for more savoury surroundings, this West End pan-Asian restaurant is just the ticket. The Viet[name]se owners do a splendid banh tom ho tay (shrimp and sweet potato pancakes), but Thai curries and Japanese dishes like salmon teriyaki are also on offer. The rather lurid colour scheme— pink and orange walls and bright graphic prints—completes the confident fusion. Last orders 10pm.

The minimalist yet warm interior takes its lead from London’s fashionable Japanese restaurant Hakkasan. After a friendly and attentive reception, guests choose between a traditional sushi bar or two large rooms where dishes from Thailand, Vietnam and China are served. The bill may be a little larger than is usual in Asian restaurants, but the taste is authentic and Noodee is worth every krone. Last orders 11pm. Its slightly cheaper and very popular sister restaurant, Dinner, can be found at Stortingsgaten in downtown Oslo.
