A nice burger place if you want some quick food, but McDonalds isn't tempting. This place is tiny, so you might want to bring the food with you. It is open until 3 am in the weekends.

In Norway you can't buy alcohol over a certain percent in the grocery stores (that means only beer and cider). You need to go to Vinmonopolet. This is the closest one. Or you can go to the one at Majorstuen (across the Frognerpark).
