PASCAL In 1995 Pascal Dupuy opened his first patisserie in a building of preservation in Tollbugata 11 in Oslo. This is where you will find the company’s heart, where Pascal with his employees creates all the amazing cakes with his secret recipes. Pascal is the ninth owner of the café that has existed since 1895. The original café in Tollbugata (from 1650) burned down and was first rebuilt in 1870. In the current Patisserie, one can admire the old venerable wood, glass roof and the wonderful fresco painted by Åsmund Stray in 1895. In 1998 Pascal became the neighbour to The Royal Palace and opened a large, modern café with a restaurant in Henrik Ibsen’s gate 36. At this location both business people, artists, mothers and politicians can enjoy a cake and a good espresso, a warm lunch, a simple dinner in the bar or a gourmet meal in the restaurant at night. This is the perfect place for an intimate business lunch or as a breakfast to start your day. 22

LUNCH & CAFÉS

ILLEGAL BURGER Illegal Burger, at Møllergata 23 in Olso, capital of Norway, opened in secrecy late last year but it has since become a hit among those who appreciate a delicious charcoal-grilled burger. Located in a space that used to house a “knock-three-times” club, the fresh-looking burger place still carries some of that mystery, hence the name, too. Illegal Burger does not quite fit in any standard restaurant or club category and it does not look like a burger joint. Low-ceilinged and only 43 square meters in size, the heavily wood-paneled space looks a bit like a below deck of a ship, with the tight kitchen resembling a galley. Flexibility was one of the key points in the design brief because the space functions as a party space, hosting intimate events with DJs and late night parties. TUE-THU 16-23, FRI 16-03.30,, SAT 15-03.30, SUN 15-23 // MØLLERGATA 23 // TEL: 22 20 33 02

PARKTEATRET BAR & SCENE Parkteatret Scene is an old cinema from 1907 now functioning mainly as a concert venue with a capacity of 400.

The old foyer of the cinema now hosts Parkteatret Bar, which is popular for its wide selection of quality drinks, good coffee, good music and nice food. The bar has a great outdoor seating area, perfect for sunny days with a nice cold drink. Parkteatret is situated in Grünerløkka, an area that has become revigorated since the 1990’s and is now one of the most vibrant parts of the city.

VILLA PARADISO Eating breakfast at Villa Paradiso on a Sunday morning is quiet, lovely and a tasteful experience. Friendly waiters serve excellent dishes with beautiful balsamic syrup on top. Dinner is a wonderful experience at Villa Paradisio. It can often be quite crowded here, so book a table in advance. In this restaurant you will probably eat one of Oslo’s best pizzas at very reasonable prices. All pizzas are made in stone base ovens for that genuine Italian taste. We highly recommend the Parma and Capricciosa. The wine list includes mainly Italian wines both red and white. It might not be paradise on earth, however this place is surely worth the visit.
