Eating On and Around the Oslo Walking Route
I am not going to send you to a named restaurant from a page like this one. Places change hands, I have not eaten in most of them this year, and a guide standing in front of you at the end of the walk will give you a better answer than any list I could write. Ask them. It is one of the few questions every guide in this city genuinely enjoys, and the good ones have an answer for every budget and every dietary restriction on the route. What happens at the end of a walk.
Eat afterwards, not before. A walking tour is roughly a kilometre spread over two hours, which means long periods of standing, and the two things that make that uncomfortable are cold feet and a full stomach. If you need something, take it at the start rather than halfway — there is no scheduled break.
The morning walk, then lunch
Two hours in English from the bronze tiger at Jernbanetorget, finishing near the Royal Palace with the whole of Karl Johans gate between you and the station. How the rest of the day fits around it.

Where should I eat after a walking tour?
Most walks finish near the Royal Palace, so the options are back down Karl Johans gate or across to the Aker Brygge waterfront. Ask your guide at the end — they will have a better answer than any page can. Where the route finishes.

Not usually. These are ninety-minute to two-hour walks over roughly a kilometre, and guides keep moving. The longest option runs to three and a half hours and includes a tram trip. The longest option runs to three and a half hours.
