Kongen Marina

The Spis take

A waterside beach club, bar and restaurant on Frognerstranda that turns a slice of the Oslo fjord into a sun-soaked, faintly Miami-vice summer scene — even earning a nod in The Times' 2023 list of Europe's coolest places. There's a glass-dome sauna on the pier and fjord views year-round; come summer it's all cocktails, salt water and crowds. In winter it shrinks into a more intimate restaurant where the kitchen plays around. Go for the setting and the vibe first; the food is the supporting act, and you'll pay for the location.
