Maaemo is an Old Norse word meaning ‘Mother Earth’. It is also the name of a restaurant in Oslo which focuses on the flavours and nature of Norway. It only uses organic or wild produce from the country. The tasting menu consists of over twenty dishes and we also opted for the juice pairings. It was an amazing meal and one of our favourite dining experiences.
