If you want to brave something other than American pizza in Norway, then you can try Cafe Sorgenfri. It is located in a shopping district known as Aker Brygge. Aker Brygge is by the water and kind of looks a little bit like Liverpool - kind of.
Lets start with the best and work backwards:
- The service was excellent. Our waitress was knowledgeable, friendly and provided alternative suggestions in areas where the menu lacked veggie friendliness.
- The food was tasty, albeit a bit on the salty side.
- The menu had one '100% vegetarian' option in the mains which was a tasty and hearty lasagne. No chance of a vegetarian starter so we ordered a cheese board to share instead (recommendation of the waitress).
- When seated, at eye level the restaurant is decorated beautifully: candles, dark woods, a mixture of booths and table, hearths, fireplaces etc. but...
- When you start to look around, especially at the ceiling, it's filled with...erm...stuff. I'm not quite sure if antiques is the right word. It's not the wrong word but it doesn't fully capture everything that's rammed into the place. I'm talking old rocking horses, pictures of people no-one knows, model aircraft from years gone by. I know what you're thinking: that sounds cool...and it was, if the journey into other people's past had stopped there, but it didn't. There were old manikins dressed in various things - some just heads, some heads and shoulders and some heads, shoulders and more. I found that a little creepy. I tell a lie, I found it distractingly disconcerting. So much so, that The Husband, kept saying 'it's ok if we just don't look up'. Come on - that's a line from a horror movie...or some kind of thriller at the very least!
I'm not sure how to finish so I'll go with: The Husband ordered the halibut and really enjoyed it. Plus, Cafe Sorgenfri is best know for it's traditional Danish lunches.+
