One of the best meals i've ever had.
The most amazing experience I've ever had in a meal. The service was perfect and everything we ate was terrific. A great way to taste Norwegian food with a modern approach.

On our recent trip to Oslo, our party of 9 made a reservation to this lovely 3 star Michelin restaurant and we loved the food! Every dish was wonderfully presented! The taste was exquisite. We have been to other michelin restaurants and this place deserves it’s 3 stars! Service was also impeccable. It is hard to decide which dish we liked the best because all the dishes from appetizer to dessert had it’s own merits. Definitely worth a visit!

Worst 3 Star ever…overpriced ($500 per person to start). Food waaaaaaaay below 3 star quality. Small bites were good, their oyster dish was very fishy, crab too salty, we asked for no mushrooms (and they said yes but had to remind-several times), there was a 30 min gap between one dish, we sent back a glass of merlot that was quite bad (from the Rhone) and rest of dishes very average. Wine list not up to 3 star restaurant (but reasonably priced…for Oslo)-but we bought a 500$ Mersault which was quite good. Very nice room. BIG problem is Chef who thinks he is Guy Savoy (and is not)-they asked for feedback and we mentioned the above and Chef came to our table HOT and berated us-mentioning he did not have a microwave and suggested we could end our dining experience. We gladly we took him up on that and saved a lot of money. I have always believed that Norway is a kind and gentile place but when a 6 foot +++ Chef lords over your table and you have in your party one of the only non-white people in the restaurant you have to wonder…sorry Norway but don’t worry Chef is Danish.

This was our all time best dining experience. Cannot think of enough superlatives to describe it all. And the staff was friendly, welcoming and not at all pretentious. Thank you for making our experience to joyful and memorable!

As the only Michelin 3* Restautant in Norway Maaemo carries a banner, "Mother Earth" in Finnish Chef Esben Holmboe Bang serves a menu focused on organic, biodynamic, and raw local ingredients with the end-goal being zero waste but no restrictions in terms of taste or technique. Found in the Oslobukta neighborhood diners begin and end in the lounge while a high-ceilinged dining room utililzes organic materials and dramatic lighting to draw attention to an open kitchen working in near silence across 15 courses. Danish by heritage, though Esben’s plates consistently pay homage to Norwegian traditions, it comes as no surprise that Dinner begins with Potato Lompe topped in Cod plus Horseradish before proceeding through bites including Foie Gras, local Cheese and raw Beef topped in Pine Cone Vinegar. Occasionally giving in to "New Nordic" ideals, though Butter and Fat see Maaemo’s flavors trend more rich than its contemporaries, plates in the dining room began with smoked Vendace Roe perfumed by elderflower that paired beautifully to 2020 Benjamin Leroux Chassagne-Montrachet. Benefited by faultless service, every staff member executing at the highest level of personal yet professional engagement, Scallops arrived next with tart Fruits preceding Bang’s iconic Flat Oyster with Blue Mussels and Dill that has been a mainstay since 2010. Pulling back in terms of intensity with a subtle plate of Turnips and Nettles, then serving a recently added slice of Char in a complicated Sauce that vacillates from sweet to savory, the night’s “main course” featured half a roasted Quail with Plums and Sunchokes alongside golden Milk Bread and a decorative spread made from Mushrooms with Garlic. Cleansing the palate with earthy Consomme, bold but nuanced and a good bridge to Dessert placing Rhubarb amidst florals, it is here that diners return to the lounge for Coffee and sweets including Maaemo’s historic Brown Butter Ice Cream and hot, sticky Cinnamon Buns.

Absolutely fantastic! Amazing experience! The service was superb and the food beyond. Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Oslo or live here. You can’t miss this!

The only trouble with this establishment was finding the entrance, something that took a walk around the block, as we missed it at first glance. It is discretely located on the corner of a block, with an unassuming wooden door, where the only clue is a small brass plate above a door buzzer. Other than that a perfect experience. We found the difficulty in finding the entrance something to laugh about, not troubling. Nonetheless, be sure to arrive a bit early, in order to locate the entrance. We appreciated being given a small folder with a list of all of the courses, once Once you buzz the door, you enter the vestibule where your coats are taken. Then you proceed to the "living room" downstairs, where welcome drinks and the first three to four courses are served. Beautiful pieces of art to look at! To describe these starters as an explosion of tastes would not do them true service. These hors dóuevres are a carefully orchestrated gustatory symphony of contrasting and complimenting tastes. Be aware that the champagne costs extra. After the starters, you proceed to the dining room on the main floor, where several more courses are served, each one an experience in itself, with balanced combinations of flavours that I would not have imagined. Each dish was lovely to look at, delightful to tase. Then it is back to the "living room" to wind down with desserts. The service was excellent, formal and highly attentive, yet still friendly and approachable with any questions. The staff worked as a well-orchestrated team to ensure that the diners were served their courses with precision, and that any questions were answered. You can watch the cooks make the final preparations with precision. We were a party of four, where I was the only one to take the wine package, which was very good, but perhaps a bit of a let-down given the price tag. Nonetheless, I would probably go for the wine pairing again if I did it once more. Be aware that each glass of wine is for about three courses. One of the others took two glasses of wine, one white and one red, with the main courses. and were very pleased. One member of the group took a non-alcoholic beverage pairing which was remarkably good, an unconventional combination of ingredients that resulted in an impressive drink. Yes, this experience does costs a small fortune, but it is worth it. It was impressive on so many levels. Be aware that this is a set menu. I doubt that it would appeal to vegetarians or those with special dietary needs.

I still cannot stop smiling when I think of what a good time we had at Maaemo. The interior, the decor, the atmosphere and last but not least the staff and the FOOD! I had been wanting to go since they opened twelve years ago but somehow I never managed to get a reservation and when I finally did, I had to cancel because of covid. But it certainly was worth the long wait. My husband and I could not even decide which dishes we liked best. Normally, we enjoy the starters, but it’s downhill from there because the main dishes are too large (and boring) when one would prefer to have more, and smaller, dishes to be able to taste more things. Not so here. Everything was perfect. And the dishes included all our favourite foods! We particularly enjoyed the innovative and creative takes on traditional foodstuffs like the outstanding dish with reindeer hearts as well as the dishes with caviar from different sources. And pinnekjøtt more interesting than any I have had before. And lomper, shrimp, scallops, king crab, mushrooms and strawberries as well as duck leg, beef, turbot, peas, quail and brioche and rhubarb. Even now, I am unable to say what I liked best. Interesting matching wines, too. And did I mention the outstanding staff? I was smiling all evening. Pure bliss. Oops, I almost forgot. A good review needs something negative. Mhh, well … I couldn’t eat my second cinnamon bun. In retrospect, I would have loved to take it home. They were quite tasty, after all Sorry, but this is all the negative I can come up with. The evening was simply perfect.

There's no doubt Esben deserves his three stars. The culinary journey we experienced was one we will remember for a long long time. The elegance of the whole restaurant that embraces you from the moment you step inside the doors is one of a kind. The service is impeccable. The atmosphere delightful. From the fireplace, the furniture, the smell, the pleasant silence even though people were speaking. And then the food!! From the first bite to the last, it was an explosion of tastes and texture beyond superb. We will come again (just need to save up a little bit)
Be the first to ReplyHigh Hopes--Disappointing
I was thrilled to get a reservation at Maaemo, the northernmost Michelin three-star restaurant in the world. I'm sorry to have to say I was disappointed. I expect any three-star restaurant to have pretensions about its food, but I found Maaemo beyond pretentious. The servers were nice enough but so formal that the effect was chilling. First we we were taken to a dimly lit basement room for our starters. I could barely see what I was eating! As each of the five one-bite starters were presented, the waiter recited the ingredients--each of the five seemed to have five ingredients! Precisely one hour later (everything here is timed to the minute), I and the other diners were escorted up to the dining room. The decor was stark but attractive and there was was more light here. My waitress stood at my table and recited the ingredients of each of the eight main courses. Again, she was nice, but stiff. Trying to lighten the mood, I asked, "So, what's the next course going to be?" "Oh, I can't tell you that ahead of time." (To be fair, she gave me a hint.) The food itself was generally good, but only a few dishes stood out as excellent--disappointing for a three-star restaurant. And I'm all for innovative food pairings, but the "shoulder of crab with reindeer heart" took this concept a bit over the top. I must say that every course was artistically plated. An hour and a half later, to the second, it was downstairs again, for dessert. I enjoyed most of the desserts more than I had enjoyed the starters. Half an hour later came the check, which was exorbitant, but not inappropriately so. This was not my favorite restaurant meal, but it was my most interesting restaurant experience. Maaemo, please lighten up a bit!

when my friends took me there I had no idea that we would be trying 18 courses of incredible dishes (served on tiny little plates or bowls). This does all take a long time so be prepared to be there for a while. The food is simply exquisite as is the service
Be the first to ReplyA magical place
There are very few restaurants in the world that take your breath away when you enter them because you realise: This is something special, something magical! Maaemo definitely is one of them. Within the first few minutes of entering the building, chatting with the staff, and climbing downstairs to the living room, you realise you are in for an unforgettable night. Maaemo has a unique, elegant and focused but still very cosy style. It elevates your mood immediately. And the food is right up there with the very best in the world: Every single one of the small bites served in the living room at the beginning of the meal is spectacular in all preparation, presentation, and taste. Entering the main dining room upstairs is another wow moment. It is one of the most beautiful restaurant settings I have seen, with an impressive open kitchen, a fire place, and spectacular art on all walls of the very high room. Throughout the meal, the interactions with staff and the quality of food are kept at highest level. The absolute highlight of our menu was a filet of line caught Norwegian salmon that was by far the best piece of fish I have ever tasted. It had nothing in common with the regular salmon you get in other restaurants or supermarkets. With its perfect combination of a light sea taste, seductive fat layers, and creamy texture it seemed to come from a different world. After that, the main course of the menu was the only disappointment of our visit: A piece of lamb, proudly presented at the table before being roasted over the grill, had barely any taste. An anticlimax to an otherwise flawless meal. The night at Maaemo ends with delicious friandises and coffee (roasted and brewed to perfection on-site) served downstairs again. The cinnamon buns are so good that you should seize the opportunity and take a few extra ones with you to enjoy the next day. This is one way of prolonging this fantastic experience for a few more hours. The memories, however, will stay forever.

From the very warm welcome we knew this was going to be a special evening. The food and drink were of course exceptional and stunningly presented. It was exquisite. The building, design and decor created an ambience that elevated the experience further. There was not one tiny little detail that was missed. From the ambience in the bar area and restaurant to the range of beautiful perfumes in the bathrooms and the doors that closed silently. Everything was so well considered to ensure the experience was perfect. The staff were very professional with a warmth and friendliness that made us feel really well looked after throughout the evening. The pressure on staff in a 3 star Michelin restaurant is phenomenal. But they didn’t let it show for a second. A night we will never forget. Thank you to all at Maaemo for creating this beautiful experience.

Be the first to ReplyExquisite
This is a place that doesn’t need my validation. It was quite simply the best meal of my life. We’ve visited plenty of 3* restaurants but this eclipsed them all.
The consistency is what stood out to me the most, every dish was exquisite.
It was also the most beautiful restaurant I’ve ever had the pleasure to visit. It felt formal but comfortable, relaxed and intimate at the same time.
The wine and juice pairings were perfect. They were also very generous with the wine, which is a pleasant surprise. You’ll have a glass of champagne before dinner and they’ll top you up without charging extra.
To top it all off the staff made you feel at ease and weren’t overly formal. They looked after every table individually and could really understand how the diners wanted to interact with them. A lot of the time the service at 3* restaurants is quite linear and overly formal (in my opinion). At Maaemo they brought personality and humour to the restaurant which made it a far more enjoyable experience.
Just a fabulous evening.
Lived up to the hype!
Labeled as the most prestigious restaurant in Oslo, expectations are naturally sky-high when you go to Maemo.
I tried to NOT prepare for the experience at all, so I didn't really know what to expect.. totally worked.
The food was for the most part, fantastic, the wine delicious (yes, you should obviously get a wine package) and the highlight of the experience is the ambiance and service.
It is a costly affair, so you will not be going too often, so make sure the you go all in when you are there and enjoy it to the fullest!
Culinary highlight of our Oslo trip
We were lucky enough to secure a spot while being on the waiting list and the experience was second to none. Finding the place was a bit tricky as they have moved to a new location and there was just a small sign next to the wooden doors telling you were at the right venue. We were escorted to a waiting room where we had some excellent amuse geules. Classy ambiance, professional yet friendly service set the mood. Then were shown to our table in the main room. As two of us preferred non alcoholic beverages they opted for the juice pairing which was just as perfect as the wine pairing that i had chosen. The menu itself catered to every taste. Seafood, lamb, venison - you name it. And the desserts? Heavenly perfect. We really enjoyed our time here to the max and will definitively return!
