If you want to really capture the St Hanshaugen spirit, come to this busy restaurant-bar-cafe for its daily early meal – husmannskost – between 4pm and 6pm (175kr, though you can ask for a half portion) or its legendary big or small (smalhans = frugal, krøsus = cashed-up) dinners, where an ever-changing rota of rustic Norwegian dishes is served sharing-style.
Otherwise there's a simple lunch menu of soups and burgers, and you'll be welcome anytime for a drink or coffee.
