Cozy cafe and lunch restaurant situated in the pedestrian-friendly Storgata in the center of Lillehammer,offering - as the name suggest - assorted hand made chocolates along with more traditional cafe fare and local favorites,cakes made in-house along with pastries,a few warm selections and sandwiches make up the small-ish menu.
We went with the special of the day which turned out to be a most delicious open-faced wild elk ("hjort" in Norwegian) sandwich which came beautifully presented on fresh ciabatta bread. The tender filet perfectly cooked, the baby-greens crisp, the home made sour-cream sauce packed with fresh herbs and the beautifully tart lingonberry compote served on the side made with berries hand-picked in the surrounding woods. Wow!
Certainly one of my all time favorite meals.
A cozy cafe and a local favorite - I highly recommend. read more
