Markveien

Fodor's Review:

This street hosts fewer restaurants but more galleries and gift stores than Thorvald Meyers Gate. Galleri Markveien, at No. 26, displays the work of the commercially successful artist Tone Granberg, who uses the same abstract motif in every one of her paintings. Visit Lene Middelthon next door, a glassblower with a distinctively Scandinavian style. Farther along Markveien, other shopping highlights include Panda for Asian pottery, silks, and furniture; and the Ceramo Sculpture Gallery, which sells African artifacts that are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. Den Kule Mage (The Round Stomach) at No. 55 has every maternal item a mother could need and features Norway's only baby café, smartly decorated as a nursery. Markveien Mat og Vinhus is a highly recommended restaurant where you can sample delicacies such as giant Russian crab or Norwegian quail.
