Cafe Europa

The Spis take

A traditional café-restaurant attached to the Thon Hotel Europa near Bislett, serving homey European fare - pizza and pasta made from scratch, meat dishes like lamb shank and ribs, plus breakfast and set menus. The cozy booth-and-leather setting and hotel-adjacent location make it more of a dependable, comfortable stop than a foodie draw. Handy and pleasant, especially if you're staying nearby, but not a reason to cross town.
