Spor av Nord

A quirky little cafe that doesn't look much from the outside but inside wow. Such an eclectic mix. The bathroom is something else it's amazing. The food and drinks were delicious, tasty and fresh. The staff were friendly and very efficient. I can highly recommend.

Good food, but service needs improvement. Yes, the staff are clearly stretched, but it also seems like further training in guest service would make a big difference. I arrived at 10:50am, just 10 minutes before breakfast service was due to end. It was busy, and the buffet was already almost empty, so I opted to wait for the lunch menu to begin at 11am. After waiting 10 minutes without receiving a menu, I ended up ordering directly at the till. My americano took over 5 minutes to arrive, and the salad I ordered came after another 20-minute wait. The salad was delicious — no complaints about the food at all. But overall, I was disappointed to spend over 30 minutes just waiting. As a visitor, that’s time I would have preferred to spend exploring the city.

Awesome place to sit back and relax while enjoying Norwegian cuisine in a nice quaint ambience. Within walking distance from Oslo Central station, we enjoyed a scrumptious dinner here and the service was excellent. The cod and reindeer casserole is a must have! Ample dessert choices as well. We had to go with the traditional Mosbromlefse crepe to end the evening. The blend of caramel and sourkraut cream was perfect! Highly recommended to support this small but awesome establishment.

We stayed at the hotel located in this building and came to this café for breakfast and later for lunch. The breakfast was excellent and varied – I can definitely recommend it. For lunch we had the fish soup and the reindeer kebab, both were delicious. Pleasant atmosphere, vintage furniture, nice tableware and cutlery. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Everything was great! Thank you!!!

I ordered 2 mains. (Yes, I can eat). And that's because I was on a solo trip and I would love to try as much of the local food as possible. The fish soup was divine, much better than C*** ***n*** which was a bit salty for my taste. Quality-wise, both were good but Spor av Nord version was better for my taste. The soup was lighter. I also ordered the shrimp salad open faced sandwich. As filling as the roast beef sandwich from the other place. Both were equally high quality but my preference is for Spor av Nord. Service was friendly. Efficient. Ambiance was eccletic. Other options for the mains included a reindeer kebab. I believe the mains changes everyday. Will come back for the fish soup.
