Top choice in Punavuori & Ullanlinna


Book to get a table at this chic Michelin-starred spot, where young chefs wow with modern Finnish cuisine. Artfully presented, daily changing combinations are innovative (blackcurrant and liquorice-leaf marinated Åland lamb, spruce-smoked pumpkin with chanterelles, king crab with nettle pesto and vendace roe) and the slick contemporary decor appropriate: this is a place to be seen, not for quiet contemplation.

From June to mid-August, it also runs a fabulous outdoor kitchen at Mattolaituri in Kaivopuisto.
