4. Maaemo
Restaurant, Diner, Northern European
More than a restaurant, Maaemo is a dining experience, with the owners recommending diners set aside a whole evening in order to fully appreciate and savor the set menu, composed of an ever-changing selection of raw foods and sublimely simplistic reductions, totaling 26 plates. The experience lasts a whole evening but stays with you after that. It’s easy to understand how Maaemo earned two Michelin stars in three years and is one of the Diner’s Club’s top 50 restaurants. Wine pairings are carefully selected to bring out the best of every ingredient. Reindeer heart, spruce juice and fried rye-bread cream with a disc of mead gel sound like fabrications, but they are real dishes served in beautiful arrangements and an unforgettable atmosphere.
