“We bring the best from the restaurant at Majorstuen, but also innovate a bit. The new premises in SIXA provide more space and new opportunities.”

– We are bringing the best of the restaurant at Majorstuen, but also innovating a bit. The new premises in SIXA provide more space and new opportunities, including lunch service in addition to dinner, which makes CRU even more accessible to both regulars and new visitors, says restaurant founder James Maxwell “Max” Stewart.

CRU is a celebration of classic French culinary tradition, combined with modern techniques and local ingredients. The restaurant is known for its warm atmosphere and dedicated staff, who always put the guest experience at the center. The extensive wine cellar allows guests to explore a wide range of quality wines, whenever they wish.

The decision to move to Bjørvika was made with the district's growing food culture and vibrant atmosphere in mind. The area attracts food enthusiasts, which fits perfectly with CRU's philosophy of delivering a holistic food and wine experience. 

– We hope that our regular guests from Majorstuen will continue to follow us, while we welcome new guests to discover what we have to offer, says Max.

A place for wine lovers and food enthusiasts

The wine cellar has always been a central part of CRU, and the new location provides even better opportunities to present a wide selection of quality wines. 

– We want to give guests an opportunity to explore the world of wine, whether they are beginners or experienced wine enthusiasts, says Max. 

Together with a menu that balances classic French dishes with the best seasonal ingredients, CRU becomes a destination for anyone who appreciates good flavors and pleasant surroundings.

With the move to Bjørvika, a new era begins for Restaurant CRU. It is a place where old and new guests can gather to enjoy the best of French gastronomy, combined with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
