Excerpt: Stortorvets Gjæstgiveri is a traditional Norwegian restaurant house in Oslo, Norway. It is located in a building from the early 18th century that is cultural heritage site. The restaurant was opened after an extensive restoration of the building in 1903. One corner is facing Stortorvet square in central Oslo. The building is two-storey, timber framed and gable roof, covered with roof tiles. The walls are not in a fully horizontal position. The building was finished at about the same time as Oslo Cathedral on the opposite side of the square.

There has been restaurants in the building since the 19th century.
