Kastellet

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Restaurant, Wine Bar, and Cocktail Bar Under One Roof

Kastellet sits on Hegdehaugsveien 25 in Oslo, bringing together a full-service kitchen, a dedicated wine bar, and a cocktail bar in a single address. The combination is deliberate — guests can arrive for a Scandinavian dinner and stay well into the evening, or simply settle into the wine bar without committing to a full meal.

Recognized for Its Wine

Wine Spectator awarded Kastellet its Best of Award of Excellence in 2023, a distinction that signals serious depth and curation on the wine list. For a restaurant rooted in European and Scandinavian cuisine, that kind of recognition reflects a commitment to pairing the food with bottles that genuinely complement it — not just a decorative list.

The Experience

The kitchen runs through the week from Tuesday to Saturday, with the wine bar and cocktail bar keeping later hours on weekends. That structure gives Kastellet a dual rhythm: a quieter, food-forward atmosphere earlier in the evening, and a more relaxed, drink-led one as the night progresses. The cocktail bar adds another dimension, running from Wednesday through Saturday for those who want something beyond wine.

The European-Scandinavian menu anchors everything, giving the broader bar program a clear culinary identity to revolve around.
