Restaurant and bar, with suffleboard. This is in a great area called "Tøyen". Tøyen most likely isn't in any tourist guide, so you will only meet locals here. Great for pizza (also gluten free) and drinks.

The public transport boats go to all the islands right outside Oslo. The closest and biggest one, "Hovedøya", is only 5 minutes away. In winter it's a winter wonderland, in summer it's an amazing place to go bathing. There is a small café on the island (don't think that's open in winter though).

In summer there's usually an ice cream truck on the square by the nr 37 bus stop. And just across there's one of Oslo's best coffee shops, Java café.
