Cafe Sofie Reviews

Rating: 4 out of 5.
Visited early June. Relatively new Norwegian Restaurant (I didn't even know there was such a thing!) with Norwegian Pancakes. Very good and very accommodating staff. Airport Manager waived landing fee (didn't know they had one of those, too) since I spent money at the restaurant.
