June 16th marks the long-awaited reopening of Scandic Holmenkollen Park, a historical hotel, perfectly located where the big city meets the beautiful Norwegian nature. The hotel will offer 376 rooms and suites, a modern conference area with a capacity to host 1200 people, 16 000 square feet of gym and spa facilities, and a wide range of unique gastronomical experiences.
Holmenkollen Park Bistro & Bar will base its offering on a Norwegian and Nordic produce, adding creative and surprising touches to traditional, well-known dishes. Lunch guests will, among other things, be able to choose from a wide selection of tasteful waffles with toppings and combinations you’ve never experienced before.
In Norway, waffles are usually served with jam or butter and brown cheese. In our opinion, waffles can be so much more. How about trying tempura-fried waffle sticks with a spicy dip, or a french toast waffle with sugar, cinnamon and vanilla ice cream? Possibilities are endless, and at Holmenkollen Park Bistro & Bar our lunch guests can choose from a separate waffle menu, says Tommy Andrew Kampes, Food and Beverage Manager at Scandic Holmenkollen Park.
Highlights from menu include:
Beer and wheat waffles with poached egg, cheese cream, spring truffles, and potato chips. Waffle fajitas with cheddar and salsa. Club waffle with chicken, bacon, mustard, garlic mayonnaise, tomato, lettuce, vinaigrette, and frites. Potato waffle with löyrom and traditional garnish.
If you want to enjoy some good wine, or maybe even learn about wine, the wine cellar in Dragebygget is a good alternative. The cellar will have a significant amount of bottles from traditional and recognized suppliers. Outside of the hotel, there will also be an outdoor terrace, where guests can enjoy snacks and small dishes, and choose from a wide selection of drinks. In addition, the award-winning Scandic breakfast can be enjoyed in beautiful surroundings.
