Thousands of people pass by Cafe Fiasco each day without batting an eye. With places to be or people to meet they stream by with determination and purpose. For people-watching it's the best seat in Oslo.
Right next to Oslo Plaza at the Oslo Galleri end of the pedestrian bridge between the Oslo Bus Terminal and Oslo S, it's the ideal backdrop for the daily hustle and bustle staged right outside Fiasco's doors. It's the perfect spot for watching all kinds of stories unfold: couples stroll by hand in hand, business people rush by, tourists start their stay or head back home, while others simply stroll by with the sole intention of challenging the very limits of people-watchers imaginations.
They have a number of craft brews on tap together with a bottle list with more beers than you can shake a stick at. Hungry? Pick from one of their many sumptuous burgers which, in my opinion, are among the best burgers in Oslo.
Have some time to kill while waiting for a bus or train out of town? It's just two minutes away from Oslo S and the Oslo Bus Terminal. Do yourself a favor: grab a seat on the terrace, relax, and watch the world go by. Otherwise you might just find yourself rushing by trying not to miss your bus/train/flight. In either case, I'll see you there!
