Hugely popular for its baguettes, rolls and cakes (and for its outdoor tables in summer),
Café Opus gets the simple things right - tasty food, friendly service and smart-casual de-
cor.

This recommended spot has a clean-lined interior and a trendy menu that ranges from
kangaroo fillet to Mexican dishes to reindeer. The decor is classy, yet the atmosphere is
casual.

Nikkers INTERNATIONAL
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; www.nikkers.no ; Elvegata; mains Nkr150-200; 11am-11pm)
Right by Lillehammer's bubbling brook, this is a dark, warm and cosy pub where a moose
has apparently walked through the wall (look outside for the full effect). It attracts masses
of locals, and whether you have a craving for salad, coffee, a burger or even reindeer stew,
this place delivers.

Drinking & Nightlife

Bars are an integral part of the Lillehammer experience, especially during the ski season.
Nikkers and Blåmann also double as bars.

One-Hand Clapping COFFEE
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; Stortorget 80; 9.10am-5pm Mon-Wed & Fri, 9.10am-6pm Thu, to 3.30pm

Sat)
This very cool little coffee shop has superb coffee, as well as croissants and chocolate cake
to die for. It's the sort of place to linger over a good book as you inhale the blends from
around the world. It also has an extensive range of teas.
