Very nice coffeehouse in the middle of Asker. Super service and a good place to start the dayread more

Just looking…read morefor a coffee, power and WiFi really, I got super service, placed right by the outlet and coffee on the table within minutes. Genuine service ,not weighted against your 'consumer value', is always greatly appreciated! Well, I ended up with some applepai as well :-) During the day it's a café / restaurant and a lounge bar at night.

This is another place in the mini mall area in Asker. This is our go to spot after work…read more The service is pretty darn good even tho there werent as much as i would assume they would have. They make you feel "at home." They would even give you their recommedations on what to eat This place is a cafe in the day, and lounge at night. There are even live bands at some nights. The food is pretty good, from the burger to the steak and even the fish and chips are all on point. I recommend getting the salsa burger or the steak. The bar is pretty well stocked and theres hansa which is the local beer on tap. This place also has free WIFI which is huge for the tourist that doesnt want to pay for a international data plan. My only gripe of this place is the meny (menu) which is only in norwegian. Whenever we go to this spot we always ask which is which. However since we already frequent this spot, we already know what to get.

Anywho, I do like to go outside the lunch rush, since the line can get long, but you usually don't have to wait too long. As with other locations, they have a loyalty card - free coffee every 6th order. Only downside to this location (in the summer months, at least) is that the outside seating isn't very cozy due to the high traffic street.

Sit outside to soak in those last rays of sunshine or come in for a tranquil atmosphere. Parking is pain though....

I went here with some co-workers in October for a bite and a beer, feeling optimistic that this…read morewould be a decent alternative to the less than inspiring Sandvika restaurant scene. We were quite a large group (about 10), which seemed to baffle the waitress, although we had booked the previous day, and service was generally very slow. As the restaurant was changing their menu at the time, there were a few dishes which were not available, and the kitchen also seemed to be short of quite a few ingredients, meaning that not everyone got to order what they liked. This was a shame, as the menu itself was quite exciting - Prammen aims for Norwegian-European gastro pub fare, including the ubiquitous tapas plate and aioli burger, but also oxtail soup (which, unfortunately, was one of the dishes that were not available). Most of our party ordered burgers or tapas plates - i opted for the antipasti plate (I find it fascinating that this turned out to be a samller selection tapas plate - clearly the people at Prammen are of the opinion that Italians eat less than Spaniards...). I was satisfied, but not thrilled with my meal, the highlight of which was a thoroughly decent aioli. The burgers suffered from "height syndrome" - meaning that the meat-to-other ratio seemed far to large for my liking, but if you are a meat slab person, this would probably not trouble you. The burers were served with a skimpy amount of vegetables and an even more diminuitive amount of sauce, but a generous side of chips with ailoi. As for drinks, Prammen has a fairly standard selection of beers at a standard price for Norwegian conditions (meaning a high one...). The restaurant is part of a bar/eatery/concert hub complex, and the atmosphere is generally good. The interior is also quite cool, and it is a pleasant place to have a pint and chat.
