I spotted this cheese shop at Mathallen Vulkan, which is a gathering of gourmet food shops…read more George is a cheese maker from El Salvado. He has a nice selection of cheeses, and also makes his own. Some of the cheeses are made in Holland (where the climate is better for cheese making) with own recipe. He lets me try some of them, including one called Queso Maduro, which is made with goat cheese with french honey. He is planning to make another cheese with Norwegian honey, as well as many recipes which, he said with a wink, he cannot reveal yet. Very nice guy who is excited to share the love of cheese, and let me sample. As a traveler I couldn't buy much from him, but definitely, if you are visiting Mathallen Vulkan, look him up!

Gutta på Haugen might be the most famous food shop in Oslo. All their beautifully presented foods are of very high quality yet I had hoped for more Norwegian ingredients. Why ship all those exotic cheeses to your shop? With that said the shop is a must visit for food lovers.

He was also French which adds a bit to the authenticity to the place. Mathallen is in general a great place, especially when you're a group of people who cannot get along on food options - and add some rainy weather to that and you have a winning concept.

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.
