Proclaiming itself Osloâs oldest restaurant, Engebret Cafe features work and stories of its many celebrity patrons over the years, including Munch, Grieg, and Ibsen. We ate at Munchâs favorite table. A letter of apology from Munch hangs in the entryway, begging Engebret to let him back in, after he had been carried out by the police in a state of obnoxious inebriation a couple of days earlier. Both Ibsen and Grieg had their favorite tables and left creative mementos for display. The historic vignettes provide a backdrop for a delightful lunch or dinner. We were served and guided by the friendly, humorous, and attentive Camilla. I will never forget how Camilla sweetly but firmly informed me that I was ordering too much for lunch when I tried to order the herring platter and the fish soup. That was the sign of a world-class waiter, when she considers it her responsibility to steer her patrons to choose a good meal. I loved my herring platter, of phenomenal herring prepared in four different ways, with mustard, with nothing, with tomato sauce, and dill sauce. My wife and I shared that and an open-faced Norwegian shrimp sandwich. Spectacular late lunch made supper by necessity more modest.

La Sangria - a little piece of Spain in Oslo. Enjoy traditional tapas as well as specialities such as paella and bacalao. The menu also includes a large choice of meat and fish dishes. The restaurant was established in 1992 and is run by the brothers Juan

Went here on the recommendation of some hip, vegan friends... first impression was the annoying menu which was ONLY in English, which is stupid since it contained words like rutabaga and jackfruit which are totally unknown to the average Norwegian, with no explanation whatsoever as to what these meant. Rutabaga (kålrabi) is a staple in Norway, but known by its British name, swede or Swedish turnip instead of the American rutabaga. It's not alluring and exotic to have English used as a barrier to communication. Jackfruit is called the same in Norwegian, but it's not a familiar culinary item. I knew it because I lived in Hawaii, but the effect of putting a menu together like this with no explanation or translation is offputting and distancing. It makes one feel too stupid to be there, and that's why I call this place pretentious. Another linguistic breakdown was the menu's statement that due to the Christmas plate special the other menu was smaller. My well educated literary-minded friends all misunderstood this to mean there'd be less food on the dishes. (language lesson: fewer - fære is the word to use which has to do with quantity, not smaller - mindre which has to do with size).This kind of thing gets my goat. I teach English to Norwegians for a living, but the ubiquitous use of unnecessary and poorly worded English by Norwegian establishments distances the customer: hire a competent English translator, and print the menu in both languages. Please! The Big Raw Salad was pretty good, although the avocado was not ripe enough to cut with a fork. The person who ordered a jackfruit burger was served after the rest of us were done with our food. Don't know if that was due to the fact that the same person ran the cash desk and served the food, and the place was busy. Everyone said they liked their food, the soup, falafel, Christmas plate. Coffee was okay. Prices fairly high.
