"The only reason I gave this 2 stars is the portions were large and the prices were reasonable (for Norway, anyway, which is overall expensive). I also give them credit for at least trying. Your vegan options in Lillihammer are limited, and this place at least has a few. It says American style pizza and as an American I 'm embarrassed it 's called that. They have 2 vegan pizza options with Oumph (a vegan meat alternative). One is California style (whatever that means the 2 basic American style pizzas are NY and Chicago, not CA... looked like a flatbread type crust, not a thin crust, but crispy flatbread in the pic). We chose the Chicago style, which is NOT deep dish. It 's a little bit of a thicker crust than a traditional NY style thin crust pizza, but nowhere near even a Sicilian style crust, let alone a deep dish Chicago style. Instead of cheese, for vegans, they use a garlic chili aioli which is basically mayonnaise (or whatever the Norwegian version of Vegenaise is). Never heard of pizza with mayo, but that was the option and we thought *maybe* it would have some kind of cheesy flavor. It didn 't. It was disgusting and we tried our best to scrape it off. The veggies were ok, sauce wasn 't great, and the crust was serviceable but not great either. My husband thought the Oumph was ok but he likes meat alternatives. I thought it was a bit rubbery but that 's more personal preference and I admit I don 't love a lot of fake meats. We did have chips and salsa which were fine. I can 't recommend this pizza at all. Even if you are with non vegans who want it with cheese the crust is mediocre and the sauce is not great. But, like I said, the portions are large and you won 't leave hungry."

"Named after Pastry Chef Pascal Dupuy, born French but trained in Norway and part of Oslo's dining scene since 1995, Pascal now consists of several Patisseries and Restaurants including the largest near The Royal Palace. Officially addressed Henrik Ibsens Gate 36, one of the few locations open on Sunday while much of Oslo rests, guests are invited to dine from 12h00 to 17h00 on a collection of Pastries, Salads, Soups, Sandwiches and Desserts. Staffed by friendly servers from take-out to the table, all English fluent with a menu to match, Coffee ranges 49-65 NOK including everything from an honest Espresso to a towering Mocha on Ice. Regarded by Relais Dessert International and Guide des Croqueurs de Chocolat, a range of Truffles lining shelves, Viennoserie is a mixed experience including a good Pan au Chocolate but soggy Almond Croissant while Flan a la Vanille consists of a good Crust surrounding soft Custard with evidence of pure Vanilla Beans throughout. More pricey for Entremet, available to go but plated with Crème Anglaise or Fruit Purees on-site, Pascal's Rhubarb Tart is artful in terms of taste as well as texture while the Feuilletine trends a bit sticky in the Caramel layer which makes cutting without a knife something of a mess. Perhaps best known for homemade Softeis, undeniably produced with top quality Cream and smooth as silk, diners may choose to add a number of toppings with Sea Salt Caramel and crumbled Macarons in a variety of flavors the most popular for good reason."
