3-Michelin-starred Maaemo and Ossiano...

Norway’s only three-Michelin-star restaurant will join forces with Ossiano for one night only

Led by chef Gregoire Berger, fine-dining seafood restaurant Ossiano, located at Atlantis, The Palm, is set to kickstart its 2023 programme of culinary collaborations.

Its first guest chef is from three-Michelin-starred Maaemo in Norway. For one night only, Danish chef Esben Holmboe Bang will unleash his "emotionally led menu" on the city.

Taking place on Thursday 23 February, the 10-course menu, called 'North', will be priced at AED1,500 per person and feature a fusion of the best French and Norwegian produce available.

The collaboration is part of the new chef-driven Dubai World Cuisine movement, launched by Gulfood, which aims to provide a platform for UAE-based chefs to shape the cultural identity of Dubai and establish the city as a global culinary capital.

Maaemo was awarded its third Michelin star in 2016, making Esben the first chef in Norway to front a three-star restaurant. His contributions on the night will include gently cooked king crab shoulder paired with a chilled broth of smoked reindeer heart.
