Any food stand with a bubbling pan of meat is promising, and Stangeriet delivered. The sandwich we…read moreordered was humongous, with meat practically bursting out of the seams. The meat was flavorful and juicy.

I don't usually have the habit to go for the same on the menu each time, but the chickenburger here…read moreis amazingly good. The chicken is breed the old fashion way- Breath of fresh air, fresh oat, wheat and corn and this combination makes the meat so juicy and tender. The burger itself is boneless (they remove bones), coleslaw, bbq sauce and a good dressing on top of a amazingly good bun. The bun actually makes the whole difference. It's so moist and tasty when you let the burger sit for a minute(if you got the patience to wait), it just suck up all of the good dressing and bbq sauce and that combined with the juicy chicken just makes it even better. I tend to go for the burger whenever I'm down at the local football pub watching a game and I combine this meal with a Brooklyn Lager. Good taste combined. The service is also great. No mocking around. Quick and done. Since they started up their local shoppe at Mathallen, the price has risen from a comfortable 60NOK to 90NOK. I personally think that's a little steep but I can't resist it. It's worth it. They also got a good chicken sandwich, but I've never eaten it. (Never change a winning team) but I've heard it's also very good. It's not only burgers and sandwiches at Stangeriet, they also sell wings, thighs and whole chickens. It's definitely worth a try and a chicken for sunday supper is a winner.

Great selection, good turnover so it's always fresh, and very good prices. Lamb shanks are a…read morefavorite, and their ground beef-lamb mix makes excellent burgers. No pork, obviously, as it's Halal.

So glad I found this place. I was looking for an authentic exotic meat spot this weekend and came…read moreacross Fenaknoken. They have everything you can think of - elk, reindeer, deer, lamb, salmon, fish cakes, and so much more. Definitely get the fresh dill salmon, homemade fish cakes, and the reindeer. Eirik was so accommodating and took me on a tour of the store, sliced up my salmon on a platter, and brought it out to me while having a friendly convo. It was a fun, pleasant experience and I would definitely come back!

One of the best hidden gem restaurants in Oslo. It is located on the side of the fish market so you…read moreknow the seafoods are fresh! The owner came out and chat with us and he's wonderful! We ordered the fish soup (highly recommend) and fish cakes. It was affordable and taste delicious!

Seasons are hard to come by at this place. Some items are…read moreover priced. The selections genuinely vary and I appreciate the store brand offerings. Head's up the store brand Pesto included egg. I don't know why but I had to bypass. It's across from a Coops Mega so this helped when I couldn't find black pepper at Rema - I walked right over to Coops before catching the bus. The locals were helpful in identifying butter. But they only had 1 loaf of sliced white bread. Someone broke eggs in the place and didn't alert anyone. 5 stars for the worker's service provided. I didn't want some chips so they had to be taken off and it didn't show on my side. Well, instead of dismissing my concern - the cashier guy got up and looked then explained it would show on my final receipt. I'd definitely would return to buy from any Rema100. Yet, I expected the prices to be more akin to Aldi's in the US. They have packaged meats, fish and et al with preprinted pricing right on the top. They accept cards with chips.

I know I have a picture somewhere of this place in my phone and when I find it i'll post it…read more Rema1000 is a supermarket chain in Oslo, though I believe they have this chain all over norway and other european countries nearby. Smaller than supermarkets in the US (but most supermarkets in europe are smaller) but has basically everything you need (just not as much selection in each item - ex: the selection of brands to choose from). Guys probably like this because it forces us girls to shop faster (less to look at and decide from lol). In general if your on a budget and staying a few days in norway, its much much cheaper to get groceries and cook for yourself so try... and get a small studio apartment with a small kitchen where you can cook in and it will save you some money. Overall, rema1000 is a supermarket you'll find everywhere in oslo. Its small, but has everything you need.

It's ok for Norway. But any medium-sized supermarket in Europe has a wider selection. The…read moreexposition is also below par. In addition there are no cold cuts. I really miss having hams, salamis etc sliced to your order. But that's Norway, where people's absolute favorite is Gradiosa, a frozen pizza.

We visited the Grunerlokka neighborhood and decided to go to Mathallen Oslo to pick our dinner. It…read morewas located inside a nice building next to a small water fall, river and park. It was easy to get to via the tram from our city centre hotel. There was already a small crowd inside as we navigated around. Italian, multiple burger joints, tapas were some of the busy spots that night. We decided on Helt Vilt with their wide selection of game meats from moose, reindeer, to boar to try some unique red meats. They also had a nice seating area that was available so we got the last table.. We ended up ordering the angry moose and wild boar burgers. The patties were a little over 5oz, juicy and lots of flavors from the meat and toppings. The angry moose burger also came with a nice kick mostly when biting down on the jalapeño slices. Both were filling but wouldn't have minded more meat considering these were each over US $20+. Service was just ok (maybe too busy) and we ended up walking to the front to close our tab.

We walked from the harbor ferry to Mathallen for a relaxed bite and a few drinks. The route we took…read morewas a bit off the beaten path, and not the most scenic or efficient. I'd recommend taking a taxi instead. Once we arrived, we headed straight to Hopyard, where the beer and cider selection was excellent, offering good variety and a friendly, laid-back vibe. Then it was on to Helt Vilt for a moose burger, which definitely lived up to the hype. Mathallen gets lively later in the day, and seating can be a bit tight, but the energy is fun and welcoming. A great spot to sample Oslo's local food and drink scene.

If you're trying to live healthy on a budget, this is your place to go for your groceries. The…read morefruit and vegetables section is like nothing else in Oslo, and the prices are often half of what you would pay at Meny. Sure, it's probably not organic, but my experience from organic farming tells me that these vegetables look and smells like nutritious plants should - in contrast to their watery supermarket cousins whom you find at the bigger chains. This is because the owners of this and other import stores doesn't buy their supply from the big corporate mega farms like the regular supermarkets do, but from smaller import companies. They go daily to the warehouses to find the highest quality vegetables to the best prices. This also means that prices and assortment varies with the seasons - something I highly appreciate. If you learn the "vegetable and fruit year" and keep your eyes open, you can make real bargains and lower your food budget further. Here you can also find a lot of other natural products that you would pay the double or more for in health food stores or regular supermarkets: additive free coconut milk, organic virgin coconut oil, olives, goat cheese, nut oils and even an assortment of herbal fluoride-free toothpastes - just to mention a few. I love this store so much that I often bring a big trolley all the way from Nesodden, to be filled with yumminess. And while I'm at it, popping into the butcher across the street to buy some lamb meat. Just be aware that afternoons - especially on Fridays and Saturdays - can be very busy.

The best grocery store around!!! And I would say in Oslo but can't as I am so new here (although I…read morehave a hunch it's the best!). Especially if you are a foreigner like Greek, Italian, Turkish, Asian, Arabic this store is something you must know about! It has many things you can not find anywhere else. I as a Greek found Greek feta, olive oil, cheese, yoghurt, balsamic, olives and there must be more products I haven't discovered yet!! All from Greece from brands that are well known. There are also specialties like Italian pasta, lots of Asian sauces and ingredients, beans that you don't find easily in the stores, etc. just go and try it yourself! There is something for everyone! Also the fruits are of very good quality and they have ALL kinds! Plus they have the cheapest nuts you can find. Definitely good for saving some money. Also it is open on Sundays too until 22:00 so it is a good place to get food when the other supermarkets are closed. Enjoy!

A great health store! This place is well worth a visit if you are interested in organic, vegetarian…read moreor vegan food. Fresh vegetables, tea, juice and baked goods can also be found here, and when you add everything else you find in common health store you all of a sudden got yourself a new favorite place. Røtter offers products from Pukka, Teapigs and Helios just to mention some. A personal favorite is Epleslang, a local apple juice. It comes in a beautiful packaging and the taste is great.

I've never reviewed Røtter?!?!?! Thanks Yelp for filling me in on this…read more I am at Røtter at least 2-3 times a week. Sometimes more. Never less. This IS my shop in Oslo. I'm not a huge fan of the Life stores or Helios, and part of the reason is the Røtter has EVERYTHING I need, and more. Upon moving to Norway, I had to drastically change my diet (I lived in Bergen). I couldn't find ANYTHING. And I had no job, so I couldn't have afforded it if the availability was there. Then I moved to Oslo. Oslo is still very behind in terms of food offerings, but it is lightyears ahead of Bergen. And fortunately for me, Røtter was here. Røtter takes requests and is always up on the latest products and trying their best to get them in the shop. Being American, they are constantly asking me for products I miss from the States (a lot of their customers are American) and looking for feedback. And they always give me updates on what they are getting in if they are grabbing ideas from the US. This makes me know that they care about the business and their customers. The shop itself is super inviting and cozy. I could spend hours perusing the place. The staff knows what they are talking about and has a passion for the products they sell. They are constantly receiving new products in, which keeps me going back (even though I spent thousands of $$ on stuff recently in the US and hauled it back with me). There is not much else I can say about this place except for the fact that it is incredible and will surely remain one of my Oslo highlights for a LONG, LONG time.
