Kokkenes Dag is back! This year, we are expanding the festival area and filling even more of Kvadraturen with small dishes, chefs, music and food experiences.

On Sunday 16 August, Sentralen and Sentralen Mat invite you to a food festival in Øvre Slottsgate. After last year’s success, Kokkenes Dag returns to Oslo city centre, and this year the event is expanding with even more chefs, restaurants and food experiences.
On this day, the area around Sentralen will be transformed into a vibrant outdoor restaurant, where some of Norway’s most talented chefs and restaurants will serve small dishes from their own stations. You can wander from stand to stand, try new dishes, meet the people behind the food and enjoy a late-summer day in the heart of Kvadraturen.
The event is free to attend.
Taste your way through the day
Kokkenes Dag is not about sitting still at one table. Here, you can move around, taste a little here and a little there, discover new favourites and enjoy food experiences you might not have found on your own.
The dishes are sold at friendly prices, so you can try several different flavours throughout the day.
Meet the chefs behind the food
One of the things that makes Kokkenes Dag special is the closeness to the chefs. They will be there in person, cooking, serving and meeting the audience.
You can have a chat, ask questions about ingredients and techniques, or simply experience the passion and dedication behind each dish. It is a rare opportunity to meet some of Norway’s best chefs up close, in an informal and welcoming setting.
A food festival for everyone who loves good food
Kokkenes Dag is an accessible food experience for anyone curious about good food, whether you come with friends, family or simply stop by on your own.
There will be music and a great atmosphere throughout the day, as the area around Sentralen fills with life, aromas, flavours and people.
