Address: Dronning Eufemias gate 6A, 0191 Oslo

If you think the Barcode district is all business and no soul, think again. SEVEN, the latest addition to Oslo’s dining scene, is quietly redefining luxury inside the sleek SIXA building — just a 5-minute walk from Oslo Central Station.

A Stylish Escape in the Heart of the City

Though technically inside an office building, SEVEN feels anything but corporate. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by elegant lighting, plush interiors, and a central cocktail bar that hums with quiet confidence.

The space is the work of Kirsti, the designer behind some of Oslo’s standout venues like Michaels. Her touch is unmistakable — from the warm tones and textures to the seamless flow of the dining area and lounge.

Mediterranean Meets Asian on the Plate

SEVEN’s menu brings together Mediterranean and Asian influences, offering a fresh take on fusion dining that feels intentional and unforced.

On opening night (May 7), the kitchen team limited bookings to focus on perfecting service — and it paid off. The starters and snacks were immediate highlights:

• Delicate maki and sashimi
• Creamy hummus
• Fragrant, housemade bread, served warm

Each dish was beautifully balanced, showing off both technique and creativity.

Main Courses That Impress

Among the mains, two standouts stole the show:

• Korean BBQ short ribs — rich, tender, and glazed with a sauce that hits sweet, spicy, sour, and umami all at once.
• Lobster fettuccine — a decadent, elegant pasta dish that proves this kitchen isn’t afraid to show range.

The menu will likely evolve over the coming weeks, but even in its early form, it’s a strong debut.

Not Just a Restaurant — A Cocktail Destination

The bar at SEVEN is more than an accessory. With thoughtful, well-executed cocktails and elegant presentation, it’s quickly becoming one of Oslo’s standout cocktail spots. Whether you’re dropping in for an after-work drink or a weekend nightcap, this bar delivers.

A Flexible Space for Any Occasion

SEVEN is versatile. Looking for a date night spot? Check. Planning after-work drinks with colleagues? Easy. A fun dinner with friends? Absolutely. The space shifts effortlessly from early-evening calm to a more energetic vibe — thanks in part to live music and DJs, which add atmosphere without overpowering conversation.

Final Thoughts

With a central location, stylish design, attentive staff, and pricing in line with the rest of Oslo’s upscale dining scene, SEVEN is already carving out a niche of its own. Whether you come for cocktails, shared plates, or the full dinner experience, it’s a place that invites repeat visits.

💡 Pro tip: Want to experience SEVEN at its most relaxed? Try going on a weekday evening — the ambiance is just right, and the service never feels rushed.
