Eiksmarka is a suburb of the Norwegian municipality of Bærum with around 4,000 inhabitants, just west of Oslo. It is served by Eiksmarka station.
It is an affluent area in the most expensive part of Bærum, north of the borough of Jar. Eiksmarka is known for good golfing and tennis, and had, from 2008-2011, the only Norwegian restaurant outside Oslo with one star in the Michelin Guide, when the restaurant was closed down.[1]
The only gallop racecourse in Norway, Øvrevoll Galloppbane, is located between Eiksmarka and the neighbouring borough of Jar.
To the east, Eiksmarka borders Lysakerelven with the Oslo borough of Røa on the eastern side of the river. The name means Oakfield.
