Elgsjø Kafé

Elgsjø is the kind of roadside stop that barely shows up on any tourist map but that locals know about. It is a small café by a lake, serving elk burgers and other simple food, with outdoor seating facing the water.

The interior is a mix of café and vintage curiosity shop, with old advertisements and collectibles on the walls. It is not fancy, but it is a pleasant place to stretch your legs and eat something that is not a petrol station hot dog. If you are on your way to Rjukan or Notodden, it breaks the drive nicely.
