Places to Eat

Take a pleasant break during your museum visit or your walk around Bygdøy! We offer food and drinks that suit the whole family, with a focus on traditional Norwegian flavors. Stop by Kafé Arkadia near the entrance for tempting lunch dishes, or visit Piperviken Kafé in the Open-Air Museum for a truly unique hot dog and ice cream experience.

Kafé Arkadia

Kafé Arkadia is the perfect place to start your day, enjoy a great lunch break, or savor a freshly brewed cup of coffee. In addition to fresh baked goods on display, the café offers a tempting à la carte menu featuring freshly made sandwiches and summer salads. Here, you can enjoy everything from classic hand-peeled shrimp with homemade mayonnaise to historic trout prepared the Viking way, or a vibrant, green vegan dish.

The café is located right at the entrance to the museum and is open to everyone (no museum ticket required).

Opening hours: Tuensday - Sunday 11.00-17.00
