Grand Hotel and Palmen Restaurant offer one of the city's most classic afternoon tea experiences. Opening its doors back in 1874, the hotel carries rich historical significance as an iconic Oslo landmark. Throughout the decades, legendary figures ranging from Henrik Ibsen and Edvard Munch to Nobel Peace Prize laureates, royalty, and international celebrities have frequented these grand halls. The dining room at Palmen is bright and majestic under its signature glass ceiling, creating an elegant backdrop for the afternoon.

It is a fantastic spot to gather a group of friends, mark a celebration, or kick off a bachelorette party. The tea is served on a traditional tiered stand filled with delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, and an array of exquisite pastries. Paired with a wide selection of fine teas from Palais des Thés, the experience is priced at around 665 NOK per person (with options to add a glass of champagne). They also host a "Tipsy Tea" concept for those looking for a lively twist featuring teapot cocktails alongside the traditional treats.
