Lots of new restaurants have received stars and mentions in the Michelin guide which were presented this week, and many also kept their previous stars.

But that’s not all!

The Scandinavian teams have yet again showed that they are among the best in the world during the Culinary Olympics which were held in Stuttgart, also this week. Over 2000 chefs from 59 different countries took part of the competition. One of the key “ingredients” for the success is the local, clean flavors in the different dishes according to the Norwegian team.

With the below results we are looking forward to even more good dishes in the years to come!

Congratulations to all the teams!
