Best vegan restaurants in Oslo
11 venues in Oslo rated S to B for vegan, every tier backed by cited sources.
Dirty V is a fully plant-based fast food restaurant. Every item on the menu—burgers, dirty fries, nuggets, onion rings, sauces, and sides—is 100% vegan. The kitchen uses no animal products whatsoever. The venue's own website and numerous HappyCow reviews confirm it's entirely plant-based, with dedicated prep for meat-free cooking.
A fully vegan Vietnamese restaurant — every dish on the menu is plant-based, with no animal products used anywhere in the kitchen. The owner and staff are vegan themselves, and the entire concept is built around 100% plant-based eating.
Nordvegan is a 100% vegan restaurant. Every dish on the menu is plant-based, with no animal products used anywhere in the kitchen. This is confirmed by the venue's own website, menu, and hundreds of HappyCow reviews from vegan diners.
Dirty V is a fully plant-based fast food restaurant. The venue's own website states 'Everything always plant-based' and the FAQ confirms the menu is 'still, and will always be, entirely plant based'. HappyCow lists it as a Vegan restaurant and all 14 reviews confirm it's all-vegan. No animal products are on the premises.
Papegøye is a 100% plant-based coffee shop according to its own website, making every item on the menu vegan. HappyCow reviewers confirm the baked goods, sandwiches, and coffee drinks are all vegan-friendly, with dedicated plant-based milks available and no animal products on the menu. Since this is the venue's own stated policy and corroborated by dozens of user reviews, this is a strongly trusted place for vegan diners. No formal Vegan Society Trademark accreditation was found in the sources.
KUMI is a vegetarian restaurant with many clearly marked vegan options on the brunch and dinner menus. Dishes like vegan American pancakes, falafel wrap, and vegan lemon tart are labelled with a 'V'. The kitchen is shared with dairy and egg ingredients, so cross-contamination is possible. Staff awareness varies: some reviewers note they couldn't confirm if a gingerbread biscuit was vegan. Overall a reliable choice for vegans, but not a fully vegan kitchen.
The café is described as a vegan and vegetarian venue with a menu that includes vegan quiche, cakes, and other plant-based dishes. The owner/chef appears to run a plant-forward kitchen, and multiple sources confirm vegan options are plentiful. No dedicated vegan kitchen is claimed, but the ethos and menu strongly support vegan diners.
A separate vegan menu offers both savory and sweet crepes, with options like the 'Skogen' (mushroom) and 'Cook Chef'. Vegan items are clearly marked on the menu. The kitchen is shared and cross-contamination with dairy/eggs is possible, but the venue is popular with vegans and the separate menu makes ordering straightforward.
An Ethiopian restaurant with a vegetarian sampler and well-seasoned vegan sauces, according to a 2010 blog post. The FindMeGlutenFree reviewer notes that vegan options are 'no problem' and the atly.com listing mentions vegetarian and vegan sauces alongside rich options. No marked menu or dedicated vegan prep area is mentioned, and cross-contamination from shared meat dishes is possible. The kitchen accommodates vegan requests but does not operate as a dedicated or certified vegan facility.
The menu is clearly labeled and includes vegan calzone and vegan pizza. A HappyCow review confirms vegan options were available, though the cashew cream was missing on one visit and the calzone dough was raw. The kitchen is shared, so cross-contamination is possible. Staff can accommodate vegan requests.
The Arepa restaurant at Mathallen Oslo serves Colombian food that includes vegetarian options (lentil empanadas, arepas with vegetable fillings) but not specifically labelled vegan. Separate vendors within the Mathallen food hall, like 'Simply Tasty,' do offer clearly labelled vegan dishes (chana masala, falafel, veggie rolls) and are well-reviewed by HappyCow users. Mathallen also has general markets and stands with vegan options. Arepa itself uses cheese and meat fillings by default, so vegan choices are limited to custom orders. The food hall overall has some vegan-friendly vendors but no dedicated vegan kitchen. Confidence is moderate because the evidence for vegan options at Arepa specifically is thin; the stronger vegan signal comes from other Mathallen tenants.
