Cafe Christiania by night
Hanging overhead is a collection of metal tea kettles.
The main part of the dining room is quite formal looking.

“Absolutely the right stop for tea.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2012

I stopped here at an off-time during the week after walking all over on an icy, cold day. The waitress welcomed me and suggested that if I might want to sit at the table by the fire. All I wanted was a cup of tea and the service was impeccable. For 69NOK, I got a HUGE pot of tea --... More

“NICE FOOD, POLITE AND DISCRET SERVICE!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2012

I have watched this place for a long time, and this afternoon we had a late lunch for several hours. What a positive surprise! First we were placed at a very busy part of the restaurant. When we wanted to sit at a more quiet place, the waiter in charge took us to the best table and changed the cloth... More

“A nice restaurant with a lot of charm, but the service was not in to it...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2012

The restaurant was nice and clean, with much old things all over, it seems like a museum for everything. The style was very cool, but the waiters did not live up to the rest. Poor service with the table, no recommandations when we was looking at the menu, and all didn`t get something to drink before the food was at... More

“Takes you back in time...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2012

It's a good restaurant for an afternoon tea after some shopping or winter iceskating. An old fashion standby. The food is average nothing special a bit on the heavy side. The upstairs terrace is fun, though a bit noisy when the tram passes. A good meeting place for business or with an older old fashion group of friends. More

“Average value for money in very central location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 18, 2011

Poor service, with waitress that spoke little English despite being very young. Very loud setting, probably due to festive season, but tables definitely too close to each other. Limited choice on the menu. Bar steak barely edible and French fries too greasy. Good venison though. Might go back if in pressing need of food. More
