The Most Mouthwatering Restaurants in Norway
The new Nordic cuisine which has swept through the Nordic countries has helped to reinvigorate Norway and put it on the culinary map. As of 2017, Norway now has four restaurants with Michelin stars – three of them in Oslo. But it is worth looking outside of Oslo too, to get a broader sense of just how many excellent restaurants exist up and down the country.

1. Maaemo
Restaurant, Diner, Northern European
With its three Michelin stars, Maaemo is the undisputed king of Norwegian fine dining, and it was one of the first two Nordic restaurants to be awarded three Michelin stars in 2016. The Oslo-based restaurant uses many flavours and ingredients unique to Norway and adds an exciting and decidedly Norwegian twist to the new Nordic kitchen – which focuses on local, seasonal, high-quality ingredients and experimental combinations.
2. Ægir Brewpub
Gastropub, Northern European
3. Enhjørningen
Restaurant, Seafood, European, Soup
5. Mother India
Restaurant, Indian, Vegetarian, Vegan
The award-winning Mother India restaurant in Kristiansand features some of the best Indian food you’ll find anywhere in Norway. Its 22 years in the industry is testament to its success. It produces excellent authentic Indian dishes, led by its star chef Sarita, served in a cosy and warm Indian-Norwegian fusion atmosphere. Dishes range from mild to very spicy, to suit any palate that may pass by in Norway.
6. Hoven Restaurant
Restaurant, Northern European
7. Peder Hiort Mathus
Restaurant, Northern European, Italian, Beer
Røros is an idyllic little town of wooden houses in inner central Norway. The town’s history as a centre for mining and the restaurant’s past as the Director’s house can both be witnessed in the restaurant, which continues Røros’s wooden and pioneer-like feel in a playful and welcoming way. The restaurant, which is part of Bergstadens Hotel, blends local and international inspiration. It has an excellent and extensive pizza menu as well as fabulous local dishes.
