A wonderful new place in Helsinki. Fantastic food with a lot of local and seasonal ingredients, in well matched balance. Best service ever, even tough would have liked more quality wines by glass, for my liking. But, the food, so outstanding and as one of the staff repeatedly said: “amazing”

Easily one of the best restaurants in Helsinki that I have ever been. The food was just astonishing and the wines worked nicely with the food. Service was top-notch and the atmosphere is lovely. The place was little bit loud when it was almost full.

Worth a visit, strong recommendation!

Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the Christmas lunch. While the overall flavours were great, the portion sizes of both the food and drinks were too small to be sold as a “menu” for the price. Both my partner and I left feeling underfed. The service was fine until the end when we struggled to get the bill for 20 minutes, and on top of that, we were asked for a tip which isn’t the norm as Finnish workers are paid a fair wage. This could be a great restaurant for lunch if the portions were square, service more attentive, and if the tip request was scrapped entirely.

Dish after dish prepared perfectly. The service and wine pairings were also absolutely fantastic.

Really difficult to give some constructive feedback. The dessert gave the wow effect, but did not reach the same level of excellence as the previous courses.
