While world-class dining continues to put the region on the culinary map, memorable food experiences can also be found far beyond Michelin-starred restaurants. **Below is a selection of our favourite food-focused experiences across the Nordics.** ## Nature & Cuisine in Harmony ## Food from the Fjords Head out on a private yacht into the fjords along Norway’s coastline with an expert guide who knows both the waters and the ingredients they provide.
