A cultural institution

Lorry is one of Oslo’s oldest restaurants, with a history dating back to the 1870’s. The place has been run by the same family for over 60 years through three generations.

Our waiters have a profound respect for their profession, wearing long serving aprons and white shirts with colourful bow ties. And of course, a big smile.

With its casual atmosphere and unique interior, Lorry has become a natural meeting point for locals, as well as an attraction for visitors. Here, just a stone’s throw away from the Royal Palace, you can enjoy a traditional lunch or dinner in quiet surroundings — and experience the buzzing nightlife of Oslo just hours later.

As you walk through the door, you’ll be greeted by exotic animals, unique artwork and rare objects.

The Lorry Experience

Lorry is known for its extraordinary and eclectic art collection, carefully collected from all over the World through the years. Our walls are decorated with 207 art works by over 70 artists.

516 A1291 — Many of the artists used Lorry as their studio. They would sit in their own private booth while writing, painting or drawing. Not all artists enjoyed immediate success. Therefore, they used their art as currency to pay for food and drinks. Still you can see many of these works hanging on our walls.

Lorry 15 — The objects and artifacts, scattered around the restaurants, play an important part in creating our unique atmosphere.

Lorry 18 — You are guaranteed surprises and absurdities everywhere you look. A visit to Lorry will be remembered for a long time.
