The Restaurant

Maaemo, whose name translates to "Mother Earth," offers a profound culinary experience rooted in Norway's natural bounty. Located in Oslo, chef Esben Holmboe Bang's vision showcases the country's rugged landscape through innovative New Nordic cuisine. The restaurant earned its first Michelin stars in 2012, and currently holds three, making it the only restaurant in Norway to achieve this distinction. The experience begins in a stylish lounge, setting the stage for the tasting menu that follows. The dining room provides a dramatic backdrop, with an open kitchen adding a touch of culinary theater. The surprise tasting menu emphasizes organic, biodynamic, and wild ingredients sourced from local farms and the pristine waters of Norway, creating a meal that is both memorable and reflective of its environment.
