Maaemo is a distinguished restaurant located in Oslo, Norway, recognized with three stars by the Michelin Guide. The term Maaemo translates to "Mother earth" from Finnish. Renowned for its focus on New Nordic Cuisine, the establishment prioritizes ingredients that are exclusively sourced from organic, biodynamic, or wild origins. The kitchen is led by Danish chef Esben Holmboe Bang.
In February 2016, Maaemo, together with Danish restaurant Geranium, became the inaugural Nordic establishments to receive a three-Michelin-star rating. By June 2016, Maaemo was placed 61st in the rankings at The World's 50 Best Restaurants awards, advancing to 35th position by 2018. The restaurant ceased operations in December 2019 to move premises, resulting in the loss of its three Michelin stars in February 2020; however, it successfully reclaimed them in September 2021.
