Since opening in 1857, Engebret Café has been a gathering place for creatives including Henrik Ibsen and Edvard Munch. The iconic restaurant is located in a two-story building on a bucolic square near the entrance to the Akershus Fortress. The classic but entirely unstuffy establishment has a lovely terrace, but the dining rooms, each of which is individually appointed, are so beautiful that it’s worth eating inside to soak up the Old World atmosphere. Featuring dark wood furnishings, hunter green walls and intricate molding, Engebret is a favorite for Norwegian classics like reindeer with celeriac puree, fresh vegetables and a game sauce with berries, or a warm bowl of creamy fish and seafood soup.
