The Top Things To See and Do in Vulkan, Oslo

Shreyas Kulkarni

Vulkan has flourished into one of Oslo’s most innovative and happening areas, located on the west side of the Akerselva River between Grünerløkka and Oslo’s city center. Several new restaurants, hotels, and office spaces have opened with this green initiative in mind, and together they are working to create a new ‘fusion of culture and creative industry’ in the area.

Mathallen Food Hall

Inspired by majestic old European food halls, the Mathallen Food Hall in Vulkan is the very first food hall in Norway. They offer a fresh food market with an exclusive stock of organic, local produce and game. Their main market and a series of pop-up shops can be found on the ground floor, where you can get a full supply of groceries and stock up on quality fish, meats, fruits, vegetables, and sauces. Afterward, you can head upstairs to one of their many restaurants and bars, and take a break to enjoy a leisurely bite or a beer. They offer a variety of American and European cuisine, from Italian to New York style fast food, as well as snacks like gourmet cheeses. The Mathallen is a great hub for small businesses, farmers, and customers seeking healthy foodstuffs. If you come at the right time of year, you may even stumble onto one of their food festivals.

Tuesday-Wednesday 11am-7pm
Thursday-Friday 11am-8pm
Sunday 11am-5pm
