Mathallen Oslo

Mathallen is Oslo's food hall, a converted industrial building by the Akerselva river filled with dozens of specialist stalls, delis, bakeries and small eateries. It is the city's place to browse Norwegian and international produce and to graze from many counters in one warm, lively space.

What's there

• Specialist stalls - cheesemongers, bakers, fishmongers and delis under one roof.
• Small eateries - counters serving everything from tacos to Norwegian seafood.
• Norwegian produce - cured meats, brown cheese and local specialities.
• The Vulkan district - the regenerated riverside neighbourhood around it.

When to go

Year-round; a warm indoor space good any day, liveliest at lunch and in the evening. It closes earlier than a restaurant district, so it is more a daytime and early-evening spot.

What to expect

It is a modern food hall rather than a historic market, curated and a little pricey. It can be busy and noisy at peak meal times. It is a place to graze and browse rather than a sit-down destination, best with an appetite for sampling.

Nearby

The Akerselva river walk and the trendy Grunerlokka district are alongside; central Oslo is a short tram ride.
