The Restaurant Day concept started in Helsinki, Finland in 2010. Four times a year, anyone is invited to open a restaurant: a pop-up urban intervention or a cosy soup-kitchen at home – there are no limits but one's own imagination. Since then, the idea spread to other parts of the world.
People were invited to bring cakes or just hang around and drink and eat as much as they want for a voluntary donation. It was important to us to spread the idea of the restaurant day in Oslo, and one year later many more "open restaurants" came into appearance.
