1847 Brenneriet — Restaurant in Lillehammer

1847 Brenneriet might not scream "family restaurant" at first glance, but it pleasantly surprised us with its welcoming atmosphere for all ages. While the decor is undeniably bold and a tad over-the-top (think quirky chandeliers and vibrant colors), it creates a fun space that even the little ones enjoyed.

The service was fast and friendly, making us feel comfortable and well-cared for throughout our visit.

However, while 1847 Brenneriet is lovely in its service and family-friendly ambiance, the food falls short of expectations, especially considering the price point.

While the dishes were certainly tasty, they lacked the refinement, quality and creativity to justify the cost. The overall dining experience felt reminiscent of a more polished version of Egon, a popular Norwegian chain restaurant, rather than a unique culinary destination.

Highlights: Unexpectedly family-friendly: Despite its appearance, the restaurant offers a welcoming atmosphere for families with children.

Warm and efficient service: The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant experience.

Playful decor: The unique and quirky decor adds a fun element to the dining experience.

Areas for improvement:

Egon vibes: The overall experience feels a bit too similar to a gloomy version of a chain restaurant, lacking a distinct culinary identity and sadly can’t justify its price.

Overall:

1847 Brenneriet is a good option for a casual family meal, especially if you prioritize a fun and lively atmosphere. However, those seeking a truly refined culinary experience at this price point might be left...

Stedet synes drevet som utested på kveldene, og bærer preg av det. Fine unisex toalettfasiliteter, men generelt ganske mørkt og trasig innvendig. (Blir sikkert mer innbydende når strobelys og røykmaskin settes på.) Stor uteterrasse på to plan men ingen utsikt.

Kort meny med enkle pizza og pastaretter som gjengangere. Ved ankomst mottar gjestene en tablet der man selv må legge inn mat- og drikkebestilling. Dette begrenser servitørens rolle til å bære maten ut fra kjøkkenet, men den oppgaven gjør de på en helt ok måte. Med en ukomplisert meny og en del tomme bord, slipper man vente lenge på maten.

Maten er helt grei, og står i stil med resten av opplevelsen. Pizzabunnen og rukkolaen er ganske sprø, sausen er angivelig hjemmelaget av italienske tomater (!) mens skinken er i seigeste laget, og kjøttdeigen med fordel kunne vært hakket opp i mindre biter. Et måltid som er svært raskt glemt.

Stedet er et helt greit alternativ til enda mer utpregete halvfabrikata-liksom-restauranter, men ikke et sted man bør dra med særlig høye...

Great student club, good dance floor and a great layout overall. Good DJ that knew how to work the crowd. Was open until 3am during my visit. If you're up for a party while in Lillehammer, this is the...
