Mathallen
Contemporary food hall packed with artisanal gourmet delights



Bucking the tired, unfashionable image of Norwegian cuisine in favour of a diverse, produce driven affair, Mathallen sits as a conflux of small-scale suppliers and producers purveying artisanal wares. Situated beside the Akerselva river, next to the contemporary dance theatre Dansens Hus, it is packed to the rafters with bakers, delicatessens, butchers, bars, restaurants and more, all putting the best face forward for quality Norwegian (plus a few international) flavours; a place to sample and socialise.
