History

When the brothers Gjelseth saw the location on Aker Brygge, Bryggetoget, they knew they could turn their dream of showing of old and wired antics in to reality. This was the perfect place to house their collection of antiques and curios.

For over thirty years they have collected antics and rarities from all over Norway. Even when traveling, the brothers never took a break from their passion for collecting.

The idea was to create an environment to house all these artifacts, and to open Norway's most maximalistic restaurant. A place to sit down and enjoy good food and drinks whilst nostalgically remembering ones childhood....Remember when...?

Cafe Sorgenfri opened its doors 8th November 2003, to a restaurant where one can remember 'the good-old-days' , whilst enjoying the present! Here you can loosen your tie, and the piano is there for everyone to play. But- be aware that you will never se a paid performer by this instrument.
