This is my favorite place to grocery shop. I buy most of my fruits and vegetables here because I…read moreknow the quality is always good. They are quite good at getting rid of any rotten food, a kind of service you won't find at most grocery stores in Norway. I was about to buy a mango once that was overripe and the guy at the counter took me out to the mangos to show me which ones were the best to buy. He could have easily allowed me to buy one that wasn't the best quality, but instead he threw the mango out that I was about to buy and picked out probably the best mango I have ever had. The selection inside is always great. You can buy a lot of American products here (peanut butter, baked beans, maple syrup, salad dressings, etc.) The bread is always fresh and I love their massive selection of olives. The service here is terrific. Most recognize me and say hi when I pass by, even if I am not shopping there. They are a great part of the neighborhood and one of the many reasons I love living where I do.

This is a great little shop that stocks a really good range of asian and middle eastern groceries…read more They also have a wide selection of fresh vegetables at much lower prices than at the supermarket. You can get all sorts of instant noodles, big bags of rice, sticky rice, korean chilli bean paste, indian spices and frozen seafood. It's pretty cramped in there though. The Brugata store doesn't have a great selection of Japanese groceries but their sister store in Calmeyers gate is much bigger and has much more Japanese food such as Japanese curry paste, japanese pickles, kewpie mayonnaise, hondashi stock, bulldog sauce etc. They also have a bigger freezers and a better range of seafood / meat products.

This is the food court you wish you had in your neighborhood. A full bar downstairs and meeting…read morerooms upstairs. High end food products to buy to take home and cook. Everything from Macrons, ice cream, pizza, dim sum, moose burgers, Hungarian fry breads, sushi, and you name it. There are several good restaurants around it as well. Super family and kid friendly. Some places have their own tables and there is a center area where the whole gang can find their feast and meet in the middle. Most of the food places close around 8 PM so maybe not a late night spot all though there a several places serving adult beverages after 8 PM. Most of the food court places do not serve alcohol so grab your pain killers from one place and food from another. If you are in Oslo, carve out a lunch or dinner time slot and figure out how to eat here and try a little something from several places. Most definitely eat here and have fun!!!!

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.

My go-to place for non-Norwegian foods…read more This place isn't big, but has a great selection of South East Asian spices, canned goods, and other remedies for cooking. It's cheap, too! And did I mention it's open on Sundays? Unbeatable.
