Nord Matstudio

The Food & Beverage concepts of Wood Hotel Bodø have been developed by the culinary minds at Nord Matstudio. They are a food studio, founded by three talented individuals from northern Norway - Christian André Pettersen, Rasmus Johnsen Skoglund and Simon Normann Engen.

After having experienced their own culinary journey through restaurants, catering, competitions and concept development, they have now joined forces and established an forward-thinking culinary studio in Stavanger.

With nature as their inspiration, they have crafted a culinary concept that mirrors our surroundings. Join us on a delicious journey through the untamed beauty of northern Norway.
