In 2025, two more Norwegian restaurants received their first Michelin star: Omakase by Sergey Pak and Gaptrast, both in Bergen. As many as 22 Norwegian restaurants are now among the crème de la crème of culinary experiences.
Two new Michelin-starred restaurants
Norway has become a must-visit destination for food lovers. Known for its breathtaking landscapes, the country is now gaining international recognition for its innovative cuisine, sustainable ingredients, and world-class chefs.
Norwegian food is rooted in tradition but elevated by modern and international techniques and a strong focus on local, seasonal ingredients, like seafood, game, wild herbs and locally sourced vegetables. This unique approach has also led to a growing number of Michelin-starred restaurants.
Two and three-star favourites
At the 2025 Michelin Guide Ceremony for the Nordic Countries, Bergen cemented its status as one of Norway’s premier culinary hotspots with the new stars to the restaurants Omakase by Sergey Pak and Gaptrast. In addition, Lysverket, located in the beautiful KODE 4 art museum, also retained its one star.
Re-Naa in Stavanger and Maeemo in Oslo both retained their three Michelin stars, while Kontrast in Oslo retained its two stars.

Restaurants that are well worth the trip
In the culinary world, no distinction is more esteemed than being included in the Michelin Guide, which was first published in 1900.
A three-star rating in le Guide Michelin means that a restaurant is “worth a special journey”, two stars means it's “worth a detour”, and one star indicates “a very good restaurant in its category.”
Many Norwegian restaurants have also been awarded Michelin Bib Gourmand, a distinction awarded by the Michelin Guide to restaurants that offer high-quality food at a more affordable price than Michelin-starred restaurants.

Home of Bocuse d'Or champions
Norwegian chefs have also gained an excellent reputation abroad, with several wins and podium finishes at the world’s most prestigious culinary competition, the Bocuse d’Or. The competition was first held in 1987, and Norway is currently the country with the most Bocuse d’Or awards.
