"En restaurant"

Translation: A restaurant

[r0bbie4]

is that a "g" sound at the end of this word?

[Luke_5.1991]

This is the word in IPA: /rɛstʉˈrɑŋ/. Some in Norway have proposed alternative spelling such as resturan (pronounced like "resturang") to more closely match its pronunciation.

[saschambaer]

Makes sense from an etymological standpoint. The word comes from French, where the -nt isn’t pronounced, but the final a is a nasal vowel because of the lost n. I assume this sounded to norwegian ears like aŋ, so they pronounced it that way.

[LINHARS]

What does 'some in Norway' mean. I've never heard it (resturan) discussed.
