The restaurant was, together with Danish Geranium, the first Nordic restaurant to be awarded three stars in the Michelin guide in February 2016.[3][4][5]
In June 2016, Maaemo was voted 61st best restaurant in the world at The World's 50 Best Restaurants awards.[6] In 2018, it was placed 35th.[7] In December 2019, the restaurant closed to move to another location. This resulted in the loss of all of its three Michelin stars in February 2020. In September 2021 Maaemo won back the three stars.[8]
