About Engebret Café
Engebret Café is a restaurant at Bankplassen 1 in central Oslo serving exclusive, and expensive, Norwegian cuisine, and the oldest restaurant in continuous operation in the city. Named after its founder Engebret Christoffersen, it first stood at Rådhusgata 11 and has been on Bankplassen since 1863, in a listed building from around 1760. It has changed very little over the years: after a fire in 1921 it reopened a year later with its appearance preserved. Henrik Ibsen, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, Edvard Grieg and Edvard Munch all had regular tables here.
