Bokhandel’n Bakeri & Mathus – often simply called Bokhandel’n

In the heart of Vågå center, you will find Bokhandel’n, a charming timber house from 1919 that houses a unique combination of bakery, café, and event venue. With its shop-like character, this is a natural gathering place for those seeking an authentic experience.

In the historic building, bread, pastries, and pizza are baked in a traditional stone oven, which gives a truly special and delicate flavor and texture. Our skilled baker prefers this method due to the even heat distribution, while the stone oven imparts a subtle smoky taste from the wood or charcoal used as fuel.

Bokhandel’n Bakeri serves hearty and authentic meals, based on traditions and local ingredients. For those on the go, we also offer takeaway services.

On the second floor, you will find Villa Bokhandel’n, which offers 10 sleeping places and 4 bathrooms, spread across three apartments and one room. The entire villa is available for self-catering. Perfect for management teams, groups of friends, or families.

Lunch and Pizza

Today, this charming timber building from 1919 is a place where you can enjoy the best lunch dishes and pizza made from genuine, quality ingredients, baked using traditional methods. The timeless elegance of the interior invites a delightful experience, with a well-equipped counter still at the center. For those who wish to take their food with them, takeaway is also available.

Previously, this building was a bookstore, known for its varied selection of convenience items such as photography supplies, tobacco, chocolate, fishing gear, silver, and gift items that adorned the entrance. The old bookstore featured tasteful decor and a long counter with framework and profiled fillings, which are still part of the experience today.
