Grand Café

Rumors & Newly Opened Restaurants
Open

Located in the city center of Oslo, inside the historic Grand Hotel, Grand Café is a modern Nordic brasserie from Fursetgruppen. Grand Café was built in 1874 on the ground floor of the Grand Hotel. Last year the café was closed after 141 consecutive years of operation. Fursetgruppen got the difficult task of reinventing this venerable venue into a concept that can survive in the Oslo restaurant scene of 2016. Both Christofer Bengtsson and Alexander Østli Berg (formerly of Kulinarisk Akademi) are head chefs. Their new menu focuses on Nordic ingredients in season with flavors and combinations from all over the world.
