At the Marche Restaurant near Holmestrand, Norway. The architecture gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "over the road". The restaurant building literally spans the highway of four lanes! Here was our table with great roadside view...
The food is as outstanding as the atmosphere is fun. The best, biggest pieces of carrot cake and giant cups of tea! We left well satisfied after dinner and treat of this dessert... mmm...
Oooh, neat restaurant and gorgeous looking carrot cake. YUM!

I love carrot cake but it might be a bit scary to be eating over a road...Cool pic.

Wonderful idea, to have the restaurant span the road!! Unfortunately, all the roadside restaurants on the big highways here have gone to the fast food chains. They keep body and soul together, but that is the best you can say for the food. That carrot cake looks scrumptious!!!

Wow, that is a wild picture! I had to re-orient myself for a second. I love carrot cake and would gladly eat it sitting over a road. Just not ON the road. ; )

I would have thought you were in a train car crossing over a bridge, especially with the tunnels in the background!

This looks like so much fun, Tracy! It makes sense to have a restaurant straddle the road like that. Here we often have one on each side of the highway--and both will be have bad food, incidentally. That carrot cake looks yummy.

I'm coming.
I know, I keep threatening it. But, one of these days - it's going to be true.

So funny...I had our wedding reception at a Marche Restaurant. They've since closed here in Boston.
