Welcome to the Norwegian castle of Akershus, one of he oldest
and most impressive of Norway's medieval fortresses. Looming over
the Oslo harbor, Akershus is actually both fortress and palace
and is patrolled by Norway's Royal Guard today. Many of Akershus's
grand halls are still used for elaborate state banquets.
The people of Norge (the locals name for Norway) are known for
their hospitality, especially when it comes to sharing their native
cuisine. Here at the Restaurant Akershus, you can enjoy their authentic
Norwegian buffet called the koldtbord. Although the literal menaing
of koldtbord is "cold table," this magnificent feast
includes cold meats, seafood, and a grand selection of prepared
salads, cheeses, and breads as well as traditional hot items served
at your table.
Our Norwegian hosts and hostesses will be happy to answer any
questions you may have.
