Maaemo

As the founder and head chef of Oslo’s only three-star Michelin restaurant, Esben Holmboe Bang has set an exceptionally high bar for himself and his team. Maaemo, a name that derives from the ancient Norse word for ‘Mother Earth’, indicated where his priorities lie. He makes sure that all produce on the set menu is either biodynamic, organic or wild. As such, Maaemo is an exploration of the Norwegian terroir. Guests are invited to enter a dramatic, dimly lit space with high vaulted ceilings, designed by local firm Radius design, that feels both sophisticated and clandestine at the same time.

Kontrast

At New Nordic restaurant Kontrast, Swedish-born chef Mikael Svensson and his team have created deeply rooted collaborations with a number of local artisanal purveyors of vegetables, meats, sea foods and dairy products. The outcome is a menu of mid-sized dishes made with the best the region has to offer, served in a stark and hip space located in the revitalised Vulkan industrial area.

Bar Amour

Bar Amour, which earned its first Michelin star in 2024, offers an intimate dining experience that blends Portuguese culture with Nordic cuisine. Situated above the Tranen/Lofthus Samvirkelag pizza restaurant in Oslo, this unique venue is helmed by Chef Halaigh Whelan-McManus, formerly of Maaemo and Hot Shop. The restaurant features a seasonal tasting menu, highlighting Norwegian ingredients with innovative techniques. The interior is dark, moody and – above all – sumptuous red, creating an atmosphere full of character. Signature dishes include grilled leek with taramasalata, chives and rye crumble, as well as a dessert of waffle with kelp ice cream and caviar.

Hot Shop

Hot Shop, named after the sex shop that formerly housed the premises, is part of Oslo’s semi-fine dining scene – an unofficial movement that serves up high-quality fair at reasonable prices in fringe locations on the outskirts of town. Founded by Jo Bøe Klakegg and Siri Haslund, partners in life and business, this casual neighbourhood bistro has a Nordic-style simple five-course dinner where local produce is front and centre. Veggies as food porn, in other words.

Hyde

At the exact address that used to house an Oslo restaurant icon – Pjoltergeist – is Hyde, another must-visit eatery in the Norwegian capital. The music, which is cranked up, and the lights, which are dimmed, give an almost nightclub-y vibe. It is in this casual setting that British chef Matthew North serves up his punchy dishes, created with a few simple quality ingredients. When you reserve a table, there’s a set menu, but if you enjoy a more spontaneous menu with smaller dishes, drop by for a spot at the bar.

Mon Oncle

Adding a spark of vintage French gastronomy to Oslo’s thriving food scene, Mon Oncle – adorned with a Michelin star in 2023 – is an intimate culinary haven named after a classic Jacques Tati comedy. Under the stewardship of Esben Holmboe Bang, famed for his work at Maaemo, the restaurant delights with an ensemble of French classics, meticulously crafted by toque-clad chefs, featuring the likes of beef Bourguignon and crêpes Suzette. Emanating the ambience of a luxurious French bistro, every visually striking dish reinforces Mon Oncle’s celebration of the lavish and rich tapestry of French cuisine.

Over three hours, a tantalising omakase menu unfolds, enhanced by bespoke wine, sake or juice pairings.
