Gamle Raadhus Restaurant — Restaurant in Oslo

Had a great lunch with my husband. We both had the Plaice sandwich, which was delicious. Crispy fish and seafood. The bread was also very tasty. For the food, I enjoyed a cold glass of Riesling. The cold og refreshing Norwegian tap water was free of charge.
