The head chef of Norways #1 restaurant, Maaemo, decided he wanted to make an affordable alternative with simple food featuring a perfect balance of flavors! This is my favorite breakfast place for breakfast, but is also immensely popular for lunch and dinner. The waiting list to get in here is often months long, but I would be happy to try and arrange a table here on shorter notice. Let me know when you book.

During the summer this is also a popular place to bring a disposable grill, sausages and a couple cans of beer to enjoy with friends.

The Royal Palace was completed in 1849 and is where our king and queen lives. This is nearby to where you can stay in my apartment. Look for the red flag with a lion flying on the roof. If it's up it means the king is home.
Every day at 13:30 (regardless of the weather) you can watch the changing of the guard. It takes about 40 minutes from start to finish and happens in front of the castle.
