Michelin-starred restaurants in Norway

Maaemo

Maaemo is the first ever restaurant in Scandinavia to receive two stars in the Michelin Guide on its first rating, only 14 months after opening in its sparkling glass locale near Oslo central station.

The seasonal menu is based on 100% organic local ingredients, including rare Norwegian herbs and berries. The food is complemented by an exciting wine list.

Cheap it ain’t (the nine-course menu alone will set you back NOK 1,900, and that’s before you have added drinks) but you get what you pay for - a truly exceptional dining experience.

Bagatelle

Bagatelle reopened in January 2011 after the much publicised departure of former head chef Eyvind Hellstrøm, who had left, taking with him most of the kitchen staff, at the end of 2009. The restaurant, which has existed since 1932, regained one of its previous Michelin stars this year.

Behind a discrete façade in the chic neighbourhood of Frogner, near the Royal Palace and the lively harbour lies this luxurious place serving Norwegian-French cuisine with an emphasis on Norwegian products such as herring, cod, halibut and king crab.

Statholdergaarden

Each day chefs Bent Stiansen and Torbjørn Forster create a six-course gourmet menu full of surprises. The menu varies according to the time of the year and they pride themselves on using Norwegian produce when it is at its best.

The set menu includes three starters, usually fish and/or shellfish, before moving on to the main meat course, cheese, and dessert. You can choose fewer courses if desired. In addition, Statholdergaarden also has a long à la carte menu. The cuisine is based on the best European food traditions, with touches of inspiration from other areas of the world.
