Lime & Leaf
Vegan Vietnamese takeaway in Oslo
We are Sindy and my mom, and together we run Lime & Leaf – a small, family-run vegan Vietnamese takeaway in Fredensborgveien, Oslo. Here you get authentic Vietnamese food for lunch or dinner, made from scratch every day.
Lime & Leaf is more than just a plant-based takeaway; it is a celebration of authentic Vietnamese taste experiences, health and sustainable innovation. With deep roots in Vietnamese cuisine and a beating heart for Norwegian ingredients, we create food that tells a story of quality and collaboration.
ABOUT US
Location
Fredensborgveien is a quiet street on the edge of Oslo city centre, between the city centre and the creative area around Grünerløkka and Grünerhagen. Here you will find old apartment buildings, small cafes, independent eateries and concept stores instead of large chain stores. In the morning it is quiet with the smell of freshly ground coffee and bicycles whizzing by, while in the afternoon it becomes more lively with people walking, meeting friends and walking their dogs, and stopping by Lime & Leaf for takeaway on their way home.
The local culture is urban and relaxed. People enjoy trying new places and support concepts that are sustainable, plant-based and organic. Many who live and work in the area are creatives in design, media and art, and they are interested in the history behind the food, the ingredients and the environmental footprint, not just in getting full.
"Lime & Leaf is a natural part of this neighborhood. Here, plant-based Vietnamese food meets the creative rhythm of Fredensborgveien, and guests can stop by for a bowl of pho, a banh mi or an iced coffee and experience a very local side of Oslo."
Gastronomy with meaning: Unique vegan meat substitute.
Gastronomy with meaning: Unique vegan meat substitute.
Every component in our range is developed with a passion for the good meal. Our pride is our proprietary, 100% vegan meat substitute, along with our classic Pho, an authentic Vietnamese soup, long-cooked to bring out a deep flavor and rich umami. These are not just products; they are the result of gastronomic curiosity. We have created a unique texture and rich mouthfeel that challenges traditional proteins, so you can enjoy a full-fledged dining experience with a good conscience for both body and planet, whether it's a quick lunch takeaway or a hot dinner at home.
"For us, every bite is about identity. We combine centuries-old Vietnamese flavor traditions with modern Norwegian agriculture. By partnering with local farms, we not only ensure locally sourced products and reduced waste, but we also give each dish a local touch. When you choose Lime & Leaf, you choose a story of ingredients that have traveled little, but taste from all over the world." — Sindy, co-founder
Identity built on local food and Vietnamese taste traditions
We want to inspire a greener lifestyle, and we know that safety is important when choosing food for your loved ones. A recent study published in JAMA Network Open (2026), which followed over one million children, confirms that a plant-based lifestyle in high-income countries supports healthy growth on a par with a traditional diet, another reason to choose plant-based with a clear conscience.
