The owner and chef both have coeliac disease, and most menu items are gluten-free. GF bread, pancakes, soup, desserts, and savoury pancakes are available.

Arepa (within Mathallen Oslo) is a Colombian restaurant where the entire food menu is 100% gluten-free. All dishes are made with corn, and no wheat flour or gluten-containing ingredients are used. The kitchen is shared with other Mathallen vendors, but Arepa itself has no gluten on its own prep surfaces. The Norwegian Coeliac Association awarded Arepa the 'Gluten-Free Establishment of the Year' (serveringssteder category) in January 2024. Multiple reviews from coeliac diners on Find Me Gluten Free consistently report zero reactions and describe the kitchen as 'dedicated gluten-free.' Some beers on the drinks menu contain gluten; food is safe. The venue itself is a food hall with many other vendors, so cross-contamination could theoretically come from outside the Arepa counter, but the Arepa team follows strict protocols and all food is naturally gluten-free. Note: Arepa appears to have permanently closed as of mid-2024, per the Sightseeing Coeliac blog and Find Me Gluten Free listing.
