Cafe Cathedral

The Spis take

A busy, central café-restaurant near the cathedral end of Karl Johan, aimed squarely at the passing crowd with a broad menu spanning stone-baked pizza, Norwegian standards and even reindeer. Service tends to get warm reviews, and the location, with indoor and covered outdoor seats, is prime for people-watching. Food opinions are genuinely split: some find the ingredients fresh and fair-priced for the centre, others call it merely fine and a touch pricey. Good for a convenient central bite rather than a culinary occasion.
