Located in Aker Brygge in Oslo, in the old venue of Onda, Ling Ling by Hakkasan is an Asian fusion restaurant and bar from the Hakkasan Group in cooperation with Fursetgruppen. Hakkasan is probably the no. 1 restaurant recommendation in London if you ask a random selection of Norwegians. I’ve been there myself, at the original location – Hanway Place – in Soho near Tottenham Court Road. Now, Fursetgruppen Restaurant Group is bringing the big city vibe to Oslo, with the naughty sister restaurant Ling Ling. The cuisine is Cantonese, the plates are small and designed to share. You’ll definitely recognize the Hakkasan style, but Ling Ling allows for more experimentation and a local adaptation. That goes for the cocktail list too, with drinks containing aquavit as well as elderflower. PS: There’s even a hidden lounge. PPS: Summer come, they will also have a rooftop restaurant.
