We are named after Frances Elisabeth Willis, the US ambassador to Norway from 1957 to 1961.

WINE

We have an extensive wine list with more than 1000 different entries. Here, you'll find a large variety of wine regions, wine styles and producers.

We experiment with styles, and our restaurant manager,
Elisabeth Hagelsteen, always has something new and exciting
on our extensive the by-the-glass list.

Tastings


On Tuesday we play around with different wine styles and offer something different by the glass.
When we are extra lucky we get visits from producers as well.
Come by and try a something new!
