Marché acquires By the Way:
Marché International Ltd. has acquired the operation of By the Way’s 11 roadside restaurants and 2 motels, under the name of Marché Restaurants Norge AS. Marché is owned by the Mövenpick Group of Switzerland and is the major player in the roadside restaurant market in Germany, Switzerland, Slovenia and Austria. Absolutely fresh products and quality are the main pillars of Marche’s™ operation. The German Auto owners association ADAC has recently renowned two of Marché’s™ restaurants as No. 1 and 2 respectively from all European roadside restaurants. Marché Würenlos (outside of Zürich) was recently renowned as the world’s best roadside restaurant.

CEO of Marche International, Mr. Oliver Altherr: “Additionally to Switzerland and Slovenia, Marché International is now also the market leader in Norway. The Norwegian restaurants will gradually be converted tho the Marché’s™ fresh concept. For the next few years, we intend to invest some CHF 6 mill in the Norwegian operation, and we are very proud now also to be present in the Norwegian market.”

Tradition and creativity
We place great emphasis on both personal service and the quality of the food we serve. For this reason, we have training programmes for all staff, both managers and till operators, in order to focus on the fact that you, as our guest, must be the centre of attention.


The food we serve is home made. We make some use of processed products from the food industry, but we have our own central production kitchen. Here everything is made from scratch and new kitchen technology means that we can distribute and serve fresh food, i.e. food which has not been frozen. This improves both the taste and consistency of the food and the economics of our operation and contributes to you getting good value for money


Eat for free !

Our staff always mention our "Fordelskort" (customer loyalty card) to you. However, in case you forget, this loyalty card allows you to eat for free every 10 th time you dine at one of our restaurants. Read more

By the Way over the Highway !


The new E18, a four-lane motorway between Drammen and Kopstadkrysset, where drivers turn off for the city of Horten, opened in October 2001. By the Way has built a rather special restaurant on this stretch of road, just north of Holmestrand. The restaurant form a bridge over the motorway, easily accessible to both northbound and southbound traffic, in association with both Statoil and Shell service stations. Easy, straightforward access and parking, an unusual building and all the expertise we have accumulated over 40 years" operation will all be gathered here. Read more




By the Way
By the Way is Norway’s leading chain of roadside family restaurants. We have 11 restaurants, all located next to Euroroute motorways or A roads, which means that we are always easily accessible, from the Swedish border (Svinesund) in south-east Norway and the gateway to Telemark at Porsgrunn in the south west to Lillehammer in the north. Two of our facilities also offer overnight accommodation
