Restaurant Karljohansvern

Restaurant Karljohansvern is the hotel's restaurant and is open daily for lunch and dinner. Set in historic surroundings, it welcomes both hotel guests and visitors, whether dining alone or gathering with family, friends, or colleagues. The kitchen is open from 12:00 to 20:00 every day, except Sundays when the restaurant closes at 18:00.

The menu is based on seasonal ingredients sourced from local suppliers and producers, with inspiration drawn from both Norwegian and French cuisine. The kitchen prepares its own stock-based sauces, and dishes vary throughout the year according to the season's available ingredients.

A seasonal three-course menu is offered daily, based on the chef’s selection. The menu also includes open sandwiches topped with prawns or beef patties, along with a selection of à la carte dishes that change throughout the year.

The wine list features wines from several of Europe's classic wine regions. The hotel's breakfast buffet is served daily from 07:30 and is open to both hotel guests and non-residents.

Garden Dining

During the summer season, guests can enjoy food and drinks in the hotel garden overlooking Karljohansvern and the fjord.

Private Events and Functions

The hotel's function rooms, Kongesalen and Biblioteket, are available for weddings, anniversaries, memorial gatherings, confirmations, private celebrations, and corporate events. The team assists with planning and arranging both small and large gatherings.

Throughout the year, the hotel also hosts a variety of themed events and experiences, including Afternoon Tea, Winemaker's Dinners, concerts, and seasonal events.

On-Site Brewery

Located in the basement of Hotell Karljohansvern, the hotel's own brewery produces a range of beers, from light pilsners to darker stouts. The beers are served in the restaurant and can be paired with dishes from the menu.
