The story
On a quiet street in Oslo’s Grünerløkka district, The Little Pickle operates as a restaurant, cafe, bakery and coffee roastery all under one roof. The guiding principle is straightforward: simple cooking with local produce, treated with love and care. It’s an ethos that earned the restaurant a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2026, an award that recognises good quality, good value cooking.
The dinner menu is built around the seasons, changing regularly to reflect the freshest ingredients available. Guests can choose between a set menu and a selection of small plates, making it easy to drop in for a casual meal with a glass of wine. The kitchen also customises dishes for vegetarians and pescatarians. On Sundays, the team serves a Sunday roast from 15:00 to 17:30, a hearty end to the week.
During the day, the bakery opens from Wednesday to Sunday, offering coffee from the in-house roastery alongside fresh baked goods. The space itself is welcoming and unpretentious, with counter dining, a private room and wheelchair access. Whether you come for a full dinner or just a coffee and a pastry, The Little Pickle is a neighbourhood spot that delivers far more than the name suggests.
