Gabi's

The Spis take

A lively pub, bistro and garden on Hegdehaugsveien run by seasoned nightlife operators, with chef Gabriel cooking French-leaning Southern-European bistro food from Norwegian ingredients. The big draw is the sprawling outdoor seating — they famously dug up a parking lot to seat 170 in the garden — plus a strong cocktail and drinks list and a Wednesday tapas-and-sangria night. It's a fun, social crowd-pleaser more than a serious dining room; go for the terrace, the drinks and the buzz.
