Maaemo was my first ever visit to a Michelin Star Restaurant. The service and attention to detail from the staff was beyond anything I had ever experienced. Everyone on the staff was like a well oiled machine and everyone knew what they were doing while simultaneously paying attention to each guest. The inside of the restaurant was comfortable, spacious and filled with art (some of which was functional). The food was beyond my understanding or ability to describe. It's just something you need to experience for yourself. Everything was fantastically delicious. I still have dreams about the Lamb Donut! Towards the end each table was given a private tour of the restaurant and the kitchens. You can tell that the staff enjoy their workplace. Lastly, I need to mention how grateful I was. The staff gave me a birthday treat and a candle. The gesture was highly appreciated. Absolutely elegant restaurant with exceptionally delicious dishes. The interior is stunning — a perfect showcase of iconic Nordic design with wood, marble, and concrete elements. The lighting is flawless, making every corner look like a movie scene. The food was outstanding, with several courses that were truly mind-blowing. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience! The moment you open the door, you'll be transported to the world of Maaemo. The story unfolds smoothly and with a noble atmosphere. I really like it. Some people might find it tense. Although I came from a faraway country, it was a wonderful anniversary.

Simply amazing, one of the best experiences that I had with food in my entire life, the service was amazing and very attentive, beautiful decoration and space. Didn't use a very formal attire and that was not a problem at all, would recommend to everyone

I don't like to write negatively about three-star restaurants, but I was very disappointed with this pride of our nation, Norway's best restaurant. Starting with the rushed service and lack of proper wine recommendations, we were already half an hour into our main courses. Then we were invited to a room in the basement. I understand that the second service scheduled for 9:00 PM forced us to be in such a hurry, but they also forgot to serve us one of the dishes, and there were only 13 of them. The food was great, but something wasn't quite right. It's a pleasure to go to such restaurants. We flew in from Poland specifically for this. Something didn't quite work, but we're not discouraged; maybe we'll try again next year. We send our regards to the entire staff, asking for improvement. We were there on August 13th.
