Vintage Kitchen

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Wine Bar Built Around Danish Smørrebrød

Vintage Kitchen on Lakkegata 55 in Oslo occupies a particular niche: part wine bar, part restaurant, with a kitchen that takes Danish cuisine seriously. The format is straightforward and confident — open-faced smørrebrød at lunch, snacks and small plates in the wine bar from late afternoon, and a full dinner service running through the evening.

Danish Cuisine, Done with Conviction

The lunch offering centres on classic Danish smørrebrød, served Tuesday through Saturday in the wine bar setting. It is a format that rewards quality ingredients and careful assembly, and Vintage Kitchen leans into that tradition without apology. No reservations are taken for lunch, keeping the midday atmosphere relaxed and drop-in friendly.

From 16:00, the wine bar opens with snacks and smaller dishes, and the restaurant kitchen follows at 17:00 — both running until 21:00. The dual format means the space works equally well for a glass of wine with a bite or a considered dinner at the table.

Recognition That Speaks for Itself

Wine Spectator awarded Vintage Kitchen its Best of Award of Excellence, a recognition that reflects the depth and curation of the wine list rather than its size. For a neighbourhood wine bar anchored in Danish cuisine, that kind of international acknowledgement is a quiet but meaningful signal of what to expect in the glass.

The restaurant also accommodates private events and offers gift cards, making it a practical as well as pleasurable destination in the Grünerløkka area of Oslo.
