Grei Kafé, Heritage cafeteria in Skippergata, Oslo.
The Grei Kafé occupies a basement-level space in a building constructed in 1837, featuring traditional Norwegian dining tables and maritime decor.
Peter Svendsen Bekkevold established this dining establishment in 1837, serving harbor workers and sailors during the early days of Christiania, now Oslo.
Norwegian poet Henrik Wergeland stored his oars and sails at this location while working at the University Library, leading to his meeting with Amalie Sofie.
The cafeteria maintains regular operating hours throughout the week, providing traditional Norwegian dishes and beverages in central Oslo's maritime district.
An original oar hangs from a ceiling beam, commemorating Henrik Wergeland's daily visits, alongside photographs of him and Amalie next to modern celebrities.
