Tucked away in the trendy Grünerløkka neighborhood, Mathallen Oslo has transformed from an industrial space into one of the city's most exciting food destinations. And right in the middle of it all? You'll find us at Vulkanfisk, serving up some of the freshest seafood in Oslo.

The Story Behind Mathallen

Mathallen opened in 2012 in a former industrial building at Vulkan, and it quickly became Oslo's go-to spot for food lovers. The concept was simple but revolutionary for Oslo at the time: bring together quality food producers, restaurants, and specialty shops under one roof to create a vibrant food hall experience.

Today, Mathallen is home to over 30 vendors selling everything from artisan bread and locally roasted coffee to Italian pasta and, of course, our beloved Norwegian seafood. It's a place where food culture meets community, where you can grab a quick lunch or spend an entire afternoon exploring flavors.

Why Vulkanfisk Calls Mathallen Home

When we opened Vulkanfisk at Mathallen, we knew we'd found the perfect location. The food hall's commitment to quality and sustainability matched our own values perfectly. Plus, being surrounded by other passionate food vendors creates an energy you can't replicate anywhere else.

The casual, bustling atmosphere of Mathallen suits the way we think about seafood. We're not a fancy restaurant with white tablecloths – we're about serving exceptional fish in a relaxed, accessible way. Whether you're a local grabbing lunch or a tourist exploring Oslo's food scene, everyone's welcome at our counter.

It's a real food community. At Mathallen, vendors know each other, share ingredients, and collaborate on events. This isn't just a collection of random restaurants; it's a curated food experience where quality comes first.

The location is perfect. Grünerløkka is one of Oslo's coolest neighborhoods, full of vintage shops, cafés, and the beautiful Akerselva river. Make Mathallen part of a day exploring the area – grab lunch at Vulkanfisk, then wander the neighborhood.
