Quotes

"Let us take you inside Norway's most luxurious restaurant. Maimo in Oslo has three Michelin stars. In fact, it was the first restaurant in the Nordics to receive the highest ranking from the French Guide."

"The experience at Maimo begins in the downstairs lounge, a cozy living room with plush couches, a fireplace, and a spectacular wine cellar."

"Maimo is a Krug embassy, so you can be sure your glass is full of the best bubbles while the meal kicks off with some snacks. And these are not just any snacks. We're talking tarts filled with langoustine, another filled with goat butter, eggs, and caviar, and an umami-rich beef tartare bite on top of a crispy bread."

"A dish that's always on the menu is the signature flat oyster with a sauce of blue mussels, white wine, and dill. There's a reason this is a classic."

"Maimo ruined all langoustine servings for us with this grilled Norwegian langoustine tail brushed with honey butter. This is truly as good as it gets. Meaty, sweet, and savory. Anders said it's the best thing he's ever put in his mouth."

"But the real showstopper of this serving was the laminated bread that came with it. Layers of dough shaped like a flower and glazed with fermented honey, garlic, and mushroom. We absolutely could not get enough. Those buttery layers dunked in that sauce to die for."

"Our journey came full circle, finishing downstairs with coffee and petit fours, including one of our favorite bites of all time. The signature brown butter ice cream in a hazelnut cone."

Punk Royale Oslo

Oslo

Fusion / contemporary

Anders & Kaitlin

"Punk Royale in Oslo delivers a dining experience unlike any other, blending high-end ingredients with a raucous, party-like atmosphere. The reviewer describes the night as chaotic and hilarious, with staff who instantly break the ice and encourage guests to let loose. The menu is filled with luxurious, bite-sized snacks, and the environment is more underground club than traditional restaurant. From caviar bumps to karaoke, Punk Royale is as much about fun as it is about food."

"Syverkiosken stands out as a legendary street food stall in Oslo, beloved for its unique hot dog experience. The reviewer highlights the stall’s cool atmosphere, heritage artwork, and the distinct way hot dogs are served—with both a bun and Norwegian potato flatbread (lompe). The combination of toppings, the snap of the sausage, and the friendly vibe make this a memorable stop for anyone seeking authentic Oslo street food."

"The reviewer visited Haralds Vaffel, a spot frequently listed among Oslo’s top food experiences. Drawn by curiosity and skepticism, they tried the iconic waffle topped with sour cream, raspberry jam, and brown cheese. The shop’s quirky instructions—eat with your hands, no utensils—added to the local charm. Despite the hype and the swarm of wasps, the reviewer found the experience unique, though their reaction to the flavor was ultimately neutral."

"Elias Mat & Sånt provided a memorable experience focused on the heart of Norwegian comfort food. The reviewer was especially impressed by the tenderness and depth of flavor in the fårikål, noting the clean, countryside taste of the mutton and the sweetness of the cabbage. The simplicity and quality of the ingredients stood out, with each component—mutton, cabbage, potatoes—absorbing the rich broth. The meal was warming, hearty, and showcased the best of Norwegian seasonal cuisine."
