Credo Pavilion is situated in the backyard of the former Michelin-star restaurant Credo in Trondheim, Norway. The restaurant was highly dedicated to sustainability, local resources and traditional techniques, and was the first restaurant in the world to be awarded the Michelin Guide’s Green Star for their sustainable practice.
