Reduce food waste
at Rest
The dining scene in Oslo has evolved rapidly over the past few
years. One after the other, restaurants serving New Nordic
cuisine keep popping up – focusing on quality organic and local
food. It’s not like Nadeen goes in for fine dining every night, but
there’s one restaurant in particular she would like to share.
In central Oslo, you’ll find Rest. It’s not your typical à la
carte restaurant. Instead, you get a set menu with treasures
that have captured the chef’s attention – ingredients that
otherwise would not have reached a dinner plate or even a
grocery store. You see, in Norwegian, the word “rest” isn’t just
an abbreviation for restaurant or a reference to a nice break.
It also means what is left. “Not only does it impress me how
they turn food waste into fine dining, but they also raise
awareness of the matter in a modern, sensible way. The
flavours are wondrous. Every dish has its own story and is
beautifully presented as a small piece of art. It’s a unique
experience I wouldn’t want you to miss, so remember to
book a table early as they have only one seating per night
and limited capacity.”
