The Scottish craft-brewery bar on Grünerløkka is famous locally for its genuine dog menu — the Dog Burger, Dog Ice Cream and even Dog Beer. Dogs are welcome indoors by the tables, a rarity in Oslo's bar scene.
A historic timber restaurant at the end of metro line 1, perched 430 m above the city at the gateway to the Nordmarka forest, with a large terrace and sweeping fjord views. It is a natural endpoint for forest hikes with dogs.
