    A great restaurant that I managed to snag an early table for my last night in Norway 🇳🇴. Wanted a proper Norwegian feast and was not disappointed. I had the 4 course menu which I thought was excellent value for the portion size and quality of cooking. The staff were very friendly and thankfully spoke excellent English to this uneducated fool. The food was superb and introduced me to some new ingredients that I wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity to try outside of Norway. This is an excellent restaurant. I would definitely be a regular if I lived in this beautiful part of the world.

    Amazing food, try the 4 course meal it will blow your mind. The waitress could have been more friendly though.

    Absolutely amazing. From our first step into the restaurant until we left, everything was perfect. The waiters were attentive without being unpleasant. The composition of each and every meal was very well thought through and a piece of art in itself. The chef came to our table twice to personally explain the idea behind the dish and to ensure we enjoy the food. Every second in the restaurant was worth the price tag. An experience we will cherish for years to come.

    Lunch menu was disappointing and not all dishes were available on our visit so ended up having a standard burger when what kind really wanted was a Norwegian dish. Atmosphere fairly bland. Wouldn't go again, for lunch.

    We had the four course dinner experience. The restaurant is pretty inside, but the whole experience felt a lit bit lacking. The food was good, but not mind blowing. The service could be a little bit more friendly. I will not be returning, but it's worth a try.

    When our travel plans changed due to weather, my husband and I started looking for a place to have dinner in Tromso. I stumbled across Maskinverkstedet. I emailed them to ask if they had availability (this was at about 2 PM - day of) I received a response within about 20 minutes. They did have availability and gave us a choice between 2 different time slots. So 5 stars for customer service! The decor and ambiance is also appealing. Our waitress was great - super attentive. For appetizers we ordered the reindeer tartare and the pumpkin soup. For mains, my husband ordered the fish and I ordered the braised beef. My husband said "his appetizer was good, but not the best he has had." My pumpkin soup had some bits of rutabega in there (small cubes) that were undercooked and the hazelnuts seemed weirdly out of place in the soup. I would not order the soup again. The mains were better than the apps. My braised beef was tender and falvourful and was a very generous portion served over a potato puree along with some cauliflower and artichokes. The fish of the day was steamed cod. Again I got a similar response "It was good." We were very full and skipped dessert. Lovely place, great customer service.

    The 4 course dinner was just super delicious ! Also I additionally ordered Herring fist dish and cauliflower dish . Everything was a top notch. The desert cinnamon apple tart with vanilla was a beautiful end to the meal. A very good start in of our vacation I would say . The head chief was so cheerful and very helpful . He was so happy to see out plate clean without any leftovers hahaha

    Had the amazing 4 course dinner menu at Mathallen, and paired it with the associated 4 wine accompaniment menu. Everything was exquisite, there was nothing to fault at this establishment. The food all tasted scrumptious and all flavours paired amazingly well with the wines that accompanied them. We left feeling that we had spent an amazing night there, and I would unreservedly recommend it! Staff was also very pleasant and friendly, taking time to explain every dish and its association with the local area.

    Exceptional. Lucky to get a table at this lively spot, we didn’t go for the tasting menu but it did look great. Everything we chose was beautifully presented, rich and deep in flavours and locally sourced. The service was perfect, knowledgeable and friendly. Stand out was the braised beef (unctuous!) and the Norwegian tomatoes who knew the humble tom could taste so good!

    Restaurant looks nice and fancy, so my friend who is into this convinced me to try. Being in Tromsø I really wanted to try fish of the day - fresh fish sounded like a good idea. And yes, fish still tasted like an sea, but that's all from the pluses. Cod was a little bit chewy and jelly for my personal taste. Nice spinach gnocchi and sour cream - but for that price and reviews of the place you would expect something more than dish which any inexperienced cook could make at home. Don't get me wrong, food was ok, but that's it.

  • 5/5 Cheng K. 11 months ago on Google
    Reserved a table for dinner. Not many options for the main dish. The "skrei" cod was fresh and yummy. The bread tasted good and unique too.

  • 3/5 Bastian F. 10 months ago on Google
    Why is this called Mathallen? Very good food, Cremant and beer, but we had to wait very long for 3rd course and while we got each a free drink for it, it was disappointing given the ambition of the restaurant and the fact that it was a Monday evening far from being booked out. Our waiter had problems recalling what each dish was, we did not get bread and the only decaffeinated coffee was a very poor instant coffee. The bathrooms downstairs were dirty.

    One of the best experience we ever had in Tromso. There are no words to describe how the food is. We had the 4 course menu. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I will recommend you further! ❤️

  • 5/5 Ariane L. 2 years ago on Google
    Had my birthday dinner there and had the most wonderful time! The four course menu is definitely worth it! The mix of the tastes, colour, smells and textures is simply perfectly mastered. As I don’t eat meat, they even accepted to change one of the dish with a vegetarian one. I highly recommend!

  • 4/5 Tamás D. 1 year ago on Google
    Quality of food is very good. Delicious meal. The service is not the same quality. They don’t have espresso or coffee like that😟

  • 5/5 Valentyn B. 1 year ago on Google
    A unique fine dining expirience with a local twist. A lot of fish in the menu. Salmon tartar stood out for me the most, very fresh, vernal combination of flavours. Staff is very polite and helpful.

  • 5/5 Florence L. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious high quality four course meal. If you can, go here over the standard dinner option in Tromsø. You pay a bit more but it is so worth it!

  • 3/5 Curon L. 1 year ago on Google
    Fish was good, but small dish overall. Asking for extra potatoes, but getting small amount. Waiter was dissapointed and turned swiftly away when saying no thanks to dessert. From a place with this high price tag a more professional service is expected. Better value found elsewhere in Tromsø.

  • 4/5 Lefei S. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice restaurant and tasty food. Unfortunately, choices during lunch time is quite limited. Also, portion size could be a bit more generous.

  • 5/5 Helen A. 4 years ago on Google
    Loved Mathallen. Came in for lunch with the aim in ordering a burger ans enjoying a beautiful glass of wine. That I did. Amazing. Great knowledge in wines, great ambience and staff but most of all, amazing food. Great work guys

  • 5/5 Amanda V. 5 years ago on Google
    Suggested from our Airbnb host, visited on the night of my birthday. Had a really lovely dinner. Tiny little restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere. Not a huge variety of choices for mains, but the ones they have are amazing. Got the catch of the day and the reindeer. The dishes are curated by eye. Amazing presentation and perfect combination of flavours. The waitress explains you the dish once at the table. For sure recommended if you are going to be in Tromsø. Make sure you book your table in advance though since the restaurant is pretty tiny and can get filled up easily and quickly.

  • 5/5 Guy M. 5 years ago on Google
    Summary: Amazing local food, awesome service, relaxed atmosphere, gourmet food. Great place to have a taste of Norway, they have a great food selection with locally sourced items that all have a story. I choose one of their multi-course options, while my girlfriend chose their catch of the day. I have to say, both options were amazing! As they brought each of my courses, they told me the story behind each one which adds to the experience of being here. I loved this restaurant and I have to say, the food, service, and ambiance are all top-notch here.

  • 5/5 Lucas S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food and friendly service. Can highly recommend! They offer multiple course menus as well as single dishes. Menu is small but very delicious.

  • 5/5 Darby de B. 1 year ago on Google
    TO DO when visiting Tromso: 1. Make sure you have an evening free for dinner at Mathallen 2. Book a table at Mathallen 3. GO TO MATHALLEN! 4. Enjoy the warm embrace of the staff when entering Mathallen. We had this amazing black hair Asian looking lady (no offense) with tattoos. She was amazing!!! 5. Experience the simple but classy design 6. Order the 6 course menu 7. Sit back and let the chefs tickle your scenes. Visual, smell and taste! It's not the cheapest hotel in Tromsø, but it's worth every cent!

👍 Had an amazing fish soup as an appetizer and fish and chips for main! The soup was really good, I am definitely taking that fish soup as my main course when I visit next time! They had a lot of steak options too, but I was definitely in for the best cod you can get part of Norway!

👍👍 We had a booking for Saturday evening, and I'm glad we did as it was very busy. We got 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 dessert and 2 cocktails for 1630NOK (£130). Everything was delicious, but the reindeer stake was one of the best things I've ever eaten. So much flavour! The restaurant is very cosy and the...
