Saturay, afternoon, almost full and space for the two of us. Welcomed by freindly hosts to a cosy venue, with friendly service, and great food (chicken) and tasty wine. PjaH

Highly recommend spending a few quiet moments at this quiet country house cafe in the city after seeing the sculpture garden. The proprietor is so charming and will give you a sense for the charm and gentle pace of Oslo that is getting harder to find.

Utrolig hyggelig atmosfære, maten var kjempe god (litt stiv pris, men veldig god!) Utrolig hyggelig ansatte som fortjener en skikkelig skryt fra oss unge ;)

Utrolig koselig sted med sjel. Sånt finner man sjelden i Oslo, hvor alt ofte føles ganske likt. En hytte fra 1840 med varm atmosfære og nydelig kaffe
