How is Kafe Asylet rated?

We were recommended this place by our airbnb host as we wanted something 'Norwegian'. We walked into a packed place which had a very lively buzz. It was warm and welcoming and room was made for us at the staff table which turned out to...be in a brilliant location. The two girls, Jasmina and Ulsa (sorry if the spelling is incorrect) were so lovely to us and made us feel very welcome. The food was just what we were looking for - my son had the reindeer casserole and I had the trout. We left the place after a few hours having had a great night. Its the perfect place if you want to really relax and enjoy listening to the locals laughing. We enjoyed ourselves so much, we went back for another meal a couple of nights later.More

Good athmosphere average food

Kafe Asylet is an institution in Oslo found in one of the really old buildings in Oslo/Groenland. They offer a menu mainly of different burgers and an average range of beer. Staff is service minded and athmosphere is intimate but the place is very noisy....Ok for an informal gathering with friends. Not a place for business meetings or anniversaries. Food is ok but far from gourmet. In summer the have a nice back yard. So - informal gathering grabbing some beers - ok. Dinner, celebrations or business - I recommend going somewhere else.More

Dear Kjell, Thank you for your nice words. We appreciate any feedback, as it helps us to develop further. Just a small remark - we have separate dining rooms on the both floors for different celebrations and seminars :) Best regards, cafe Asylet

Good Christmas dinner

We had the typical Christmas dinner (sheep ribs, pork ribs etc). Tasty food, good portions and the price was moderate for a Christmas dinner.

A day out

Well, We’re not often out but wanted to have a nice friday together after work today. This place is now on our NO list, and will be communicated as such to our friends and families due to the horribel staff working here. Shame on you...!More

Nice, simple food

Simple menu, really nice food and friendly service. Price is pretty average for the area. There's a huge outdoor seating area for when the weather is nice.

Cozy place - decent food

Went for dinner with my girlfriend as this place had been recommended by a friend who had lived in Oslo before. We ate in the backyard. My burger was very good, also my girlfriend‘s salad and salmon were extremely tasty. The menu is simple but...offers a variety that should suit most people (eating meat, fish a/o poultry). It‘s self service, however the staff is friendly and attentive. I liked my evening there a lot!More

Another side of Groenland

Groenland is a 'multicultural' (code for migrant) part of Oslo so this historic building, with a more traditional Norwegian menu, is a good variation. Staff are friendly but direct, the indoor areas are rustic and quite charming (the outside is beer garden style) and the...food is relatively simple but good. The coffee machine wasn't working the night we ate there but they finally got it to work and coffee on the house.More

Quaint, Rustic and Delicious

This was our first food experience in Norway and it was amazing! The atmosphere is rustic and homey. It doesn’t feel touristy-more like where locals go. The prices are in line with Norwegian food prices, which are fairly expensive, but the portions are large-we could...have shared.More

A place with history

One of the old buildings in Oslo. Nice back yard were you can drink and eat outside. Pub with draft beer and pub food. Nice staff and a athmosphere that make you feel that you are in someones home. Nice prices. Central place in Oslo...near Grønland subway station and near Akerselva.More
