Now there’s a few street food stall restaurants in Oslo, Norway. Vippa was the first one that popped up. Oslo Street Food the next. Took a while for me to finally try OSF. First time I stuck my head in, it was super busy, so I opted out. Might have been around lunch time. Yesterday it was nice and calm, in comparison. For some reason, it appeared to be popular among families with kids. Not too keen on kids running around, screaming, so found my own little nook, avoiding the commune tables.
There are 14 food stalls to choose between. After walking back and forth, I landed on Tunco. If my memory serves me right, I have heard it is good. I was not disappointed. I asked the lady for recommendations. After narrowing it down to spicy, no vegan, noodles or no noodles – doesn’t matter, she came up with Koh Tao. Website says: Stir-fried rice noodles with our creamy coconut red curry, slow cooked chicken and freshly chopped veggies, topped with peanuts, coriander and lime. Food might look like a mess, but it was very nice! And spicy. Don’t know if she added some extra kick to mine, as I during our convo mentioned medium plus… I was planning on having dessert too, from Toppers, but I was full, and hadn’t even finished my takeaway box. Prices on food are decent, drinks are expensive – make use of free tap water, which in Norway is the same as what you get from a VOSS bottle 😉
It looks like a lot of the same stalls are present at the different street food stall restaurants in town, which is a bit “boring”. Might be a couple that is exclusive to each restaurant. Some of the stalls are also extensions of regular, sit-down restaurants, that I’ve been to. Like San Francisco Bread Bowl. If the Meraki food stall is related to the Meraki at Bryn Shopping Mall, outside the city centre, then I wouldn’t recommend it… “Der peppern gror” is getting rave reviews, but I was not impressed – better Indian food restaurants in town. I should also mention a friend mine visited Oslo Street Food, had Asian food, and was not excited. She couldn’t remember which stall.
OSF is centrally located close to Youngstorget, inside what used to be a bath house, once upon a time. Interior wise cool looking, but maybe a bit dark. A result of making the transition into nightclub on Friday and Saturday evenings, easier?
