San Francisco Bread Bowl

About

San Francisco Bread Bowl is a unique, family‑friendly noodle‑and‑soup spot tucked in Oslo’s charming Frogner district. The concept began in San Francisco with the iconic clam chowder, and it’s now expanded to a global menu of hearty soups, stews, and sauces that appeal to both adventurous diners and casual lunch crowds. Every item is served in a freshly baked, 100% organic sourdough bread bowl – all of the bread is vegan, and gluten‑free alternatives are available for guests with dietary restrictions. The restaurant prides itself on a relaxed, cozy atmosphere and a menu that has something for everyone, from quick business lunches to family dinners. Beyond the bowls, the culinary lineup includes alternative fillings such as a Four‑Cheese Truffle Macaroni, traditional Norwegian Lapskaus, and a variety of international soups. A wide selection of craft beers and kombucha rounds out the experience, with dedicated beer‑tasting flights for those who want a deeper dive into Norwegian brews. In addition to the main dining room, Bread Bowl offers a range of services – a dedicated beer‑tasting lounge, sports‑and‑events viewing room complete with a large TV and group table booking for game day, and catering options for parties and corporate events. Booking tables online is encouraged during peak times; a confirmation call is expected once you reserve. The restaurant is open Monday‑Friday 11:00–21:00, Saturday 11:00–22:00, and Sunday 11:00–20:00 (the kitchen closes 30 minutes before closing). Special holiday hours apply: the shop is closed on Christmas Eve (24 Dec), Christmas Day (25 Dec), Boxing Day (26 Dec), and the New Year’s juggling period (27–29 Dec 13:00–20:00).
