We went out for our first real restaurant in Norway. It was an experience. We went to some trouble to get a reservation at the Tavern at Sverresborg - the folk museum that Deb and the kids visited the other day. Nic called for the reservation only to get a message in Norwegian that he couldn't understand. After an email and a call from Chris, we had a 6pm reservation. Turns out we didn't need one. The place was just about empty when we arrived.
We walked in and there are 4 people chatting in Norwegian in the entryway. They just continued chatting and eventually we got one of them to talk to us and sit us at a table. Ethan fell asleep on the bus to the place, and we managed to keep him asleep by laying him out across a couple of chairs and on some jackets. After a little while longer, we realized there was a little sign on the table that said we ought to order at the counter and they would bring it to us. The tavern dates back to the 1700's, and was really interesting. Gwyneth and Nic had a look around, up some really steep steps and in and out of little rooms, all with tables in them.
After a check of the menu, we decided on the Reinsdyrfilet (reindeer), Kveite (halibut) and Hjemmelagede kjøttkaker (meatball) for Gwyneth. The reindeer was good, everyone liked it. The rest of the food was pretty good, but a little weird. Deb and Nic also ordered a beer each, for 65 kroners each (about $10). Gwyneth ordered a waffle for dessert, and which point Ethan woke up. Gwyneth gave him some, then he got one of his own.
We hit the Ilaparken for a few zip lines on the way home.
