Einer Nordic Tasting Menu by Maaemo Alumni

Chef Svein Trandem and his partner in wine, Sara Johansson, previously worked at Maaemo before branching out to start their own spot in 2018 – Einer. Seasonal Nordic ingredients are celebrated here as you select either the “Animalia” or the “Botanica” (vegetarian) tasting menu (4 or 6 courses). They serve lots of our favorite natural wines in the restaurant, as well as in their underground wine bar, Einbar.
