Many legends surround this nostalgic dining room of yesterday. This is the oldest restaurant in Oslo. The present restaurant is composed of a trio of wood-framed buildings, the most antique of which dates from the 1700s. The inn's upstairs bedchambers with their wood-burning stoves are virtually unchanged since their original construction, although they're now used as private dining rooms. This restaurant changes radically throughout the course of an Oslovian day: Expect a cafe near the entrance; an old-fashioned, charming, and usually packed restaurant in back; and outside dining in good weather. Menu items are traditional, well prepared, and flavorful, and include steamed mussels in white wine and garlic, poached salmon in a butter sauce, or oven-baked halibut with a mussel velouté sauce. A specialty is roast reindeer in a red-wine sauce spiked with wild berries.
