Maaemo is small but perfectly formed. Fewer than 40 covers and almost half that number in the kitchen brigade and front-of-house, all wrapped up in an elegant package in an oddly industrial corner of central Oslo. The food is nothing short of spectacular but is - for me - outdone by the service. Those familiar with the city will appreciate... More

From the moment we arrived the service was fast and efficient, which made eating 25 courses of food a pleasure. All of the staff were knowledgeable not just about the food and drinks, I even asked about the cutlery with one course and was told the history of the maker and why they had made that particular range. The price... More

To be honest I needed a few days to reflect and digest our "first-time-ever" experience at the two star restaurant Maaemo in Oslo. By luck I managed to book a table for me an my wife almost two months in advance - and we were both exited to finally experience this type of extraordinary cuicine in Oslo - and we... More

For sure, if you wish to enjoy a different restaurant experience, Maaemo is the place in Oslo. This two star Michelin restaurant is good, very good, with excellent service, superb interior and a very attractive policy of serving local food prepared in surprising style. I thoroughly enjoyed my night here, had a wonderful show-like experience and a very interesting chat... More

Maaemo is a wonderful restaurant. The kitchen serves up the coolest and craziest flavor bombs one can imagine. Combined with extremely knowledgeable waiters is a visit to a Maaemo a winner.

The only restaurant in Oslo sets the bar high when it comes to expectations. The setting on Oslos east side may be a bit strange, but nothing of that is seen inside. Lovely restaurant, immaculate interior. Service really know everything we asked about down to the smallest details of every course. Great wine pairings. But. Its really expensive. Of course... More

A while back there was a lot of publicity about the restaurant Maaemo as it went from being a fairly new restaurant that not that many knew about to being a restaurant with two Michelin stars – I think it is the first one in Scandinavia that went straight to two stars! I read about this a while back but... More

Maaemo wears it's two stars in the Via Michelin with pride. An amazing menu centred around local produce. Everything is bio dynamic and/or ecologically produced. Don't let the menu fool you, the 10 courses on the menu expand into 20+ tastings (we had 26) before the meal is finished. Our visit was certainly the culinary experience of my life, out... More

The setting, ambience and service is impeccable. The food is also incredible, and very well presented. Each dish is explained and all ingredients are sourced in the nordics. We enjoyed the whole experience although I must say the desserts were not up to the standard of the other dishes. It comes at a high price though and there are plenty... More

In November my sister and I went to Maaemo. We originally booked a table last year. We had our booking two weeks after they received their second michelin star. We couldnt believe our luck! I have some food alergies and had already cleared this at time of booking that they would accomodate for the allergies. A week before our booked... More
