Mathallen Food Hall, Oslo
If your stomach can't make up its mind—and let's face it, whose can?—Mathallen Food Hall is your deliciously trusty culinary compass in the heart of the Vulkan district. The area’s pedestrian-friendly charm pairs nicely with a walk to the nearby Vulkan Arena or a scenic wander down Oslo’s own “Trail of Love.”
With over 30 specialty shops, cafés, and eateries all tempting you with everything from Norwegian classics to global street eats, this buzzing indoor market is a full-blown flavor rodeo and a choose-your-own-adventure where the prize is always edible.
Feeling adventurous? Start with Hungarian goulash so rich, it practically sings folk songs. Nibble your way through the refined Southeast Asian plates at Atelier Asian Tapas, then give your inner Viking a nod with the wild game dishes at Helt Vilt.
And in case you're still hungry, there’s artisanal cheese that bites back, cured meats that whisper of smoke and tradition, and dreamy chocolate (which, come to think of it, should probably be illegal), not to mention enough craft drinks to wash it all down.
All of this unfolds inside a lovingly restored early 1900s industrial building perched along the scenic Akerselva River. It’s got just the right amount of rustic charm to make your Instagram jealous. Regardless of whether you're grazing now or stockpiling for later, there’s a stall ready to feed your cravings or future self.
Operating Tuesday through Sunday (because even food halls need a nap on Mondays), Mathallen is open from 10 am to 8 pm. Alternatively, you can swing by on Sundays between 11 and 6. Just be warned: once here, your taste buds may never want to leave...
