Maaemo

regional · ★★★ Michelin

€€€€

Time seems to stand still at Maaemo, where a dramatic, high-ceilinged dining room comes with a theatrically lit open kitchen and a wool-draped wall made of offcuts from national folk costumes. The surprise tasting menu comprises a succession of expertly crafted, consistently memorable dishes that deliver sublime flavours and textures in superbly conceived combinations; maybe honey-glazed langoustine – grilled over embers – with hazelnuts and roasted garlic or dry-aged reindeer with blackcurrant and verbena. To finish, coffee and jewel-like petits fours are served in the speakeasy-style lounge.

Kontrast

Scandinavian · ★★ Michelin

€€€€

‘Kontrast’ is not just a name at this sleek, fittingly stark restaurant in the city’s former industrial district; the concept informs everything they do, from the make-up of the international team to the smart combinations of ingredients in the dishes. A rich stew of superb langoustine claw meat, for example, is balanced by the fresh crunch and perfectly judged acidity of pickled carrot. While the dining area benefits from a softly lit intimacy, the open kitchen is brighter so that your eye is drawn to the supremely talented chefs.

Credo

Creative · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Trondheim’s loss was Oslo’s gain when Credo relocated to a unique space in the contemporary wing of the National Library, an imposing 1914 building decorated with Emanuel Vigeland frescoes. Pioneering Chef Heidi Bjerkan leads the team and remains strong in her vision, viewing food as “a cultural expression” and advocating for healthy habits, environmental awareness and animal welfare. Her finely prepared dishes are as attractive as the surroundings, with top Norwegian produce including some terrific seafood and the latest produce to reach its peak – maybe the first of the season’s rhubarb or s

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Start your evening with a walk around Frogner Park and its Vigeland sculptures, before heading for this elegant restaurant where the sumptuous, classical décor contrasts with the contemporary exterior. Service is a highlight, from the charming welcome and the well-judged wine recommendations to the cheerful presentation of the dishes – often brought to the table by the chef himself. Norwegian ingredients and French techniques come together in impeccably prepared, meticulously presented combinations such as skate wing from Ålesund with pickled radish and bouillabaisse sauce or Hovelsrud chicken

Sabi Omakase Oslo

sushi · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Just 10 guests can fit around the counter at this intimate Japanese restaurant, where the chef pours his skill and knowledge of Japanese cuisine into serving an impressive omakase menu. Top quality Norwegian fish and shellfish are combined with traditional sushi techniques in a succession of dishes that lasts for over three hours – and wine, sake and juice pairings further enhance the experience. The room and the lighting are as beautiful as the food, so settle in for an enchanting evening and watch the time fly by.

Stallen

Creative · ★ Michelin

€€€€

As you enter this tiny restaurant inside a former stable block, you find yourself in the kitchen being greeted by the chefs; you can then eat in the same space whilst watching them at work, or request a table upstairs for a little more intimacy. The surprise menu evolves daily and has a playful touch, with the well-balanced dishes making great use of vegetables, herbs, flowers and fruits from their own garden.

SAVAGE

Creative · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Your experience here will be far more pleasant than the name suggests, with a range of global influences resulting in fabulously original dishes. The restaurant is tucked inside the Att | Kvadraturen hotel and is enlivened by a bold mural dominating one wall. Counter seats are available to enjoy the beautifully presented and technically impressive dishes which meld together flavours, textures and combinations from around the world.

Statholdergaarden

Classic Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

A charming 17th-century house in the city’s heart plays host to these three elegant dining rooms, where chandeliers hang from wonderfully ornate stucco ceilings and an interesting array of antiques and curios are on display. Expertly rendered classical cooking uses seasonal ingredients in familiar combinations that are given a personal touch when it comes to the seasoning. Dishes could include seared halibut with spiced scallops or langoustine in a deliciously rich bisque. Top-notch service and a comprehensive wine list complete the picture.
