Historie

Vippa is a food market with the ambition to bring together cultures through cuisines. Vippa, strategically located at the Port of Oslo, is the host of multiple food stands conveying sustainable and diverse food offers to Oslo's increasingly bustling foodscape.

The project is a social and business model to facilitate and integrate immigrants and young aspiring food entrepreneurs into the social fabric of Norwegian culture. Since the opening in April 2017, the focus of the project has been to create an ethically and practically sound environment - for all the people operating the food stands, and for the guests.

We see food as a way to stimulate dialogue amongst citizens and best agricultural practises as a best way to feed them. We feel obliged, by today social and cultural unrest, to create a space - a common platform where these best practises could serve as links between cultures, languages and cuisines in the act of moving forward.

On the edge of the land facing the Oslo fjords, Vippa also stand as a welcoming dwelling to guests and food enthusiasts to experience delicious food in an environment charged with great energy!
