Engebret Café

Engebret Café Review

This somber old-fashioned restaurant at Bankplassen was a haunt for bohemian literati at the turn of the 20th century and the building itself dates from the 17th century. The formal, French-tinged Norwegian dinner menu includes traditional seasonal fare around Juletide (Christmastime), including lutefisk and pinnekjøtt (sticks of meat), which is lamb steamed over branches of birch. For a real taste of Norway, try the smalahove (a whole sheep's head). Many Norwegian families consider it a treat to visit the restaurant around Christmas, so book early if that's your plan, too. During the rest of the year, try the reindeer in cream sauce or the poached catfish.
