Stortorvets Gjæstgiveri
Stortorvets Gjæstgiveri stands beside Stortorvet square in central Oslo, opposite Oslo Cathedral. Its timber-framed building has two storeys, a tiled gable roof, and walls that reflect centuries of settling.
Completed in the early eighteenth century, the protected house has hosted restaurants since the nineteenth century. A restoration brought the restaurant into its present form in 1903, with traditional Norwegian dishes including fish soup, reindeer, whale tartar, and local desserts. Indoor and outdoor seating, exposed wooden beams, and a relaxed tavern atmosphere shape the dining rooms.
The building also contains a first-floor party room and the ground-floor live music venue Gamle Christiania, known as Gamla. A basement venue, Blaze Go-Go Bar, adds nightlife to the same historic address.
