Norway has two three-star restaurants in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide: Maaemo in Oslo and RE-NAA in Stavanger. Gaptrast in Bergen, new this year, and Kontrast in Oslo hold two stars. Below them is a list of one-star restaurants that runs from Oslo to a family farm in Nordland and a dining room under the sea at Lindesnes.

The stars for the Nordic countries were announced on Monday 1 June 2026 in Copenhagen. We checked menu prices on each restaurant’s own site on 27 October 2026. Prices change with the season, so confirm before you book.

Three stars

    Where no price is listed, see the restaurant’s own site for menu prices and opening days.

    The 1 June results also listed À L’aise in Oslo with one star, and Bar Amour, which has since closed. The MICHELIN Guide’s Norway page listed 17 one-star restaurants when we checked on 27 October 2026, without either of them.

    Three one-stars worth the trip

    Under, Lindesnes. A 10–12 course set menu for NOK 2,750, with wine at NOK 2,250 or a non-alcoholic pairing at NOK 1,250, under head chef Bernt Sætre. It is 85 km from Kristiansand airport, about 1 hour 20 minutes by car. You pay a deposit when you book, refundable up to 14 days before.

    Speilsalen, Trondheim. Chef Håkon Solbakk serves the 12–16 course Stor Symfoni menu for NOK 2,750, excluding drinks, Wednesday to Saturday, in a dining room from 1896. The hotel also has a caviar bar.

    Kvitnes Gård, Nordland. Chef Halvar Ellingsen cooks on his family’s organic farm, and you can stay in the farm’s cabins. In season you may see whales and the northern lights.

    How to get a table

    • Set an alarm. Maaemo opens bookings on the 1st of each month at 12:00 CET. Gaptrast opens 90 days ahead.
    • Go midweek. Several restaurants open only Wednesday to Saturday, and weekends sell out first.
    • Expect deposits. Under takes a deposit at booking. Gaptrast has a minimum spend per guest.
    • Tell them about allergies early. RE-NAA and Gaptrast say plainly what they cannot adapt.
    • Plan the whole trip. Under and Kvitnes Gård are destinations on their own. Book the restaurant first, then the hotel and transport.

    What a starred dinner costs for two

    Restaurant Menu for two With the cheapest drinks pairing
    Maaemo NOK 11,800 NOK 19,700
    RE-NAA NOK 10,000 NOK 16,000
    Gaptrast NOK 7,000 NOK 9,600
    Kontrast NOK 5,900 NOK 10,500
    Under NOK 5,500 NOK 10,000

    Our verdict

    For a once-in-a-lifetime meal, book Maaemo or RE-NAA. For the best value among the top four, Kontrast. For the most memorable setting, Under.
