Guide to Norway: From Sea to Table
The journey starts in Oslo where we meet our host Halaigh Whelan-McManus at MAAEMO, the three-star Michelin restaurant where he works as a sous chef. After talking to his boss about the wonders of Norway’s nature and culinary potential – and having a chat with locals about what Norwegians really like to eat (yes, you guessed it, frozen pizzas), Halaigh heads to the west coast to go diving for some of the world’s most sought-after scallops. After eating raw, live scallop on the boat, the fishermen invite Halaigh back for a home-cooked feast with scallop gratin , bacon-wrapped scallops and plenty of cold beer. Further down the south-coast, in Stavanger, we get a sample of what happens when these scallops get into the hands of a sushi master. At sushi restaurant SABI OMAKASE, head chef Roger Asakil gives Halaigh a lesson in how to cut fish, before treating him to sushi made with a local twist, including smoked reindeer heart.

Geist is the restaurant from iconic chef Bo Bech. The restaurant is offering trendy cuisine in a modern and relax athmosphere with music and a bar.

Geist is the restaurant from iconic chef Bo Bech. The restaurant is offering trendy cuisine in a modern and relax athmosphere with music and a bar. The dishes are focusing on a main product with 2 or 3 other ingredients to support in a simple way but in a modern presentation. In a city where many restaurants are closed at lunch, on Sunday and Monday, Geist could be an option as it is open everyday lunch and dinner. We had:
•Wafers of avocado with lightly salt caviar
•Tartare of Norway lobster with yuzu and hibiscus
•Steamed leek with creamy oysters and jalapeño
•Ricotta gnocchi with black truffle
•Baked celeriac with condensed buttermilk
•West coast turbot with fennel ravioli on gruyère
•Grilled squid with black trumpet mushrooms
•Sweetbread BBQ with Jerusalem artichokes and mustard
•Cotton candy with coffee
•Brown butter ice cream with salted almonds
•Salt baked pineapple with pineapple sorbet Less

"“When guests come, you go to meet them,” Stalker commanded as he sprinted across the kitchen to urge the intern toward the door. “You go, because you’re at Noma now. And that is who we are.”

The selection and availability can be limited, but the quality is quite fresh. Purists that stick with sashimi or nigiri might find Raisu to be a reasonably-priced option that can satiate their "sushi fix."

Fantastic Meal with the 3 Norwegian musketeer at Fäviken. One truly outstanding dish, the King Crab which was so tasty while having this unbelievable texture. It will be a certainly a reference for me for a long time to come
