Vulkan
Meet your guide at Mathallen Food Hall’s main courtyard entrance (Vulkan 5). Look for the red brick building with “1908” above “MATHALLEN OSLO.” This entrance faces the open square near Dansens Hus. Do not go to the river bridge side with “Mathallen” in red letters — that’s the wrong entrance.

5 star tour with Shaf! - I had the most incredible tour with Shaf. His attention to detail was superb! His knowledge of the history of Oslo and his knowledge of local food was impressive! He was friendly and personable. He gave me lots of great recommendations for both dinner and drinks as a solo traveller! Thank you Shaf for a wonderful tour!

Tasty Norwegian Treats - Nice blend of authentic Norwegian cuisine. While I am glad they switched up the menu to include salmon, it is a bit odd to combine that with hot chocolate. My favorite was trying new foods like the reindeer stew and whale salami with the brown cheese & aquavit jelly. The Norwegian waffle was also delicious and a great way to end the tour.

Wonderful Experience - The tour was informative and fun. We spent three hours enjoying delicious (and not too much) food and along the way great stories about Oslo and Norway. The walk was quite doable (stairs) and well paced. This is a great way to learn about Norwegian society snd culture.

Great food tour - This was a great tour, the guide Shaf was very nice and he explained everything about the food, area and norwegian culture, he also answered every one of our questions. The food was amazing, they were able to offer options to a peschetarian like me, I especially enjoyed the fish cake and Norwegian waffles. 100% recommendable

Not worth it - Hated beer choice on first stop Bartender would not change for a different beer even though it was a tiny glass. Small amount of lukewarm stew and sliced meat was just ok there. Went next for a tasteless cinnamon bun and hot chocolate at a tiny stop with zero atmosphere. Last stop was a waffle ( after a cinnamon bun! ). The place only had 6 seats all infested by bees. We couldn’t even stay there to eat All 6 left tour prematurely! Who wants two desserts in a row with hardly any food on a FOOD TOUR? Insane disappointment for a lot of money With that being said, Alicia was very nice. It wasn’t her fault.
