Tips & Advice

  • Reserve your table in Bristol Grill ahead of time, because the Christmas menu is served in set table seatings each evening.
  • If you're seven or more, email grill@bristol.no instead of booking online, or ask about the private chambre séparée for up to 16.
  • Contact the restaurant a few days before your visit about allergies or special diets so the kitchen can adapt your meal.
  • Bringing children? Book the Sunday family Christmas lunch early, since Santa brings gifts and every reservation must be prepaid.
  • Book a room if you want to stay after dinner, because the Spikersuppa Christmas market and Karl Johans gate are a few minutes' walk away.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Family Christmas lunch with a buffet, a dessert table and Santa bringing gifts for the children on Sundays, November 29 and December 6, 13 and 20; book and prepay by email.
