When my sister went to Paris, I'm told that she only ate at McDonalds because "They couldn't find any good food in Paris".. That's right folks, no good food in Paris.
With many things in life, you must read between the lines.
What she really mean to say was that she couldn't afford the good food in Paris.
Yes, that is surprisingly unadventurous, I must say. Paris streets are literally lined with great restaurants and cafes to dine in.
Talk about ignoring the obvious. You have to go out of your way to find a McDonalds. lol.
My friend that lives in Paris loves McDonalds. Apparently it's made on better bread etc. I still couldn't bring myself to try it. For me, when travelling, For me, when travelling trying new foods is a highlight
My sister did have her 11 year old daughter with her, and my niece was probably not up for trying things like escargot.
The one thing I couldn't bring myself to try was the horsemeat thatwas on the menu in the Veneto region of Italy
We're American. Exposure to all things Scandanavian is thin. MOst of us probably think any scandanavian style buffet is a Smorgasbord( I realize it has different names in different places).
Buffets here are also usually all you can eat, which is good for people on a tight budget. If your in Scandanavia and the budget is a bit tight, you might go for a buffet. It allows you to afford that $15 beer in Oslo.
Your inexpensive food is generally much better then ours.
I just googled RAX. I could see eating there for lunch so that I could splurge on dinner. I also see that it's pizza. It probably reminds people of home.
I'm going to Copenhagen in September. I'll let you know if I try a buffet
The $15-16 (0.5 l) beer is usually offered in the most expensive ares in Oslo, like Tjuvholmen, Aker Brygge and Karl Johans gate (main street). The latter is a typical tourist trap. I believe the cheapest 0,5 l costs $6.5.
Smörgåsbord, called koldtbord in Norway, is not that popular anymore. At least not with typical Norwegian food (salmon, ham). I think the Spanish tapas is the new koldtbord.

Yes, we were in Oslo. We didn't eat downtown much. Our friend who lives in Oslo took us around. We had a much cheaper meal when he drove us out to Kongsberg. He also wanted to go to Pepe's pizza where I believe our 1 pizza, 2 beers and one soda was $80. Our hotel had an awesome free breakfast and I coffess to grabbing a sandwich at Deli DiLucca a couple of times. The Christmas Market was also right by our hotel and we had sausage, elkburgers and gluhwien. While I did find the food expensive, our hotel, Hotel Bristol was very reasonably priced at aroun $160 a night.
I can't wait to go back. We loved Oslo. Worth every penny
