Michelin-Star Heaven Costs $650 for One at Oslo’s Maaemo

I wouldn’t describe Maaemo as expensive. That would hardly cover it.

Dinner with matching wines for one in this Oslo restaurant costs 3,250 kroner ($570). There’s no choice on the menu, and almost all diners take the drinks pairing. Add an aperitif, water, coffee, taxes and service, and you exceed $650. OK, I’ll admit: I tipped less than 10 percent to keep the price down.
