Figs and 86% chocolate (A rough guide to eating in Oslo)
21.30 Originally uploaded by Ti.mo. I just spent the weekend in Oslo at the wonderful Near-field workshop and thought I’d post up my list of places I would recommend to anyone dropping in town (most of this was because of Timo of course): – The Sound of Mu a lovely club with lots of small… Continue reading Figs and 86% chocolate (A rough guide to eating in Oslo)
