We’ve dined in a handful of Michelin star restaurants around the world and this is by far the best meal overall.
The atmosphere was cozy and the service was super attentive without being overwhelming.
The food was stellar and the plating was perfection. A real standout was the bread and all of the vegetable focused dishes.
I have a couple of specific allergies that they were incredibly accommodating and I did not feel like any of my dishes were lessened by the absence of those ingredients.
The space is small so don’t arrive early as there’s no waiting area. Also don’t feel the need to get super dressed up but you can if you like. You’ll feel at home as long as you’re at least dress casual.
We had the spring menu for reference; it changes every season.
If you’ve read this far and haven’t gotten as reservation, stop and go do that now as you’ll have the best meal of your life.
We booked here for an anniversary celebration and were not disappointed. The food, wine matching and service were all impeccable as you’d expect. I particularly enjoyed the summer veg and fish soup inspired starters.
They have one sitting at 8pm and they bring each couple inside in turn, to a chorus of “hei” which makes it feel friendly and welcoming.
Great restaurant with fantastic, attentive service.
Food was for the most part amazing as well. Some dishes in particular were very memorable (like the scallop and the king crab with rose hip), while some dishes were good but not amazing (like the duck fat doughnut).
Wine pairings were mixed. Some was absolutely amazing (like the Riesling and the sweet wine), while some I didn’t really understand, but that could be my fault as well as I’m not really a wine connoisseur.
Overall a great experience though. Highly recommended.
We had reservations on March 13th while on our 20th wedding anniversary European trip and we are still thinking about this experience! This was absolutely amazing and everything was delicious. We opted for the vegan tasting menu and the chef accommodated my preference for no mushrooms. I circled my favorites in the photos but every single creation exceeded my expectations. The tomato, oregano and red currant pie was the best thing I have ever eaten in my life! Wow! We have never gone to a place like this before. It was interesting to watch the chefs cook, the servers explained each of the dishes and the chef greeted us on our way out. Everyone was very professional. The attention to detail was next level. Highly recommend this restaurant. If we ever return to Helsinki, we will definitely go back. Heck, it’s worth the return specifically to go here. I took a million photos of the food and am posting them to share.
