Monocle heads to Norway’s third largest city, Stavanger, to discover how this boom town’s oil reserves are spurring on those entrepreneurs looking to add variety and quality to this once-understated retail scene.
Market Value
We travel to Helsinki to visit Vanha Kauppahalli – the city’s oldest waterside food market in order to meet the merchants serving up the very best in Nordic cuisine.

From primeval mezcal to a primate-themed panacea, we bring you a menagerie of little wonders from around the globe.
Market recovery
The restoration of the Finnish capital’s fresh-produce hub has put it back at the heart the city.
