This is a lovely spot but we were very disappointed in the lack of flexibility for a vegetarian and another guest who did not eat beef. We had corresponded in advance about our dietary limitations and told them that our guests would be celebrating their anniversary. We had been assured that it would be fine. However our meal was neither... More

The new restaurant premises look nice, minimalistic design. The location of the restaurant is perfect, in the heart of the city, by the market place with a sea view. Unfortunately food was not as good as you expect for a Michelin star restaurant, nor worth the high price. Service varied a lot during the evening, from excellent to poor.

Strong points - clean tasting saucers of food - unusual combinations of flavors - excellent wine choices - brave attempt to challenge other fine restaurants in Helsinki Weak Points - too many small dishes blunt the taste buds - restaurant lacks a quality feel, because location is rather plain - the space needs more drama and less formaility - too...

We had a five-course menu full of culinary magic, with perfect wine pairings, and knowledgeable, friendly and charming service. The atmosphere is very spartan, but the view of the harbor is nice. All in all, if you like nouvelle cuisine with a Nordic twist, this is it.

I had amazing 7 course menu with perfect wines. Food and wine combinations were extremely well conceived. The dishes were most surprisingly served. Greek sallad with feta curd, Red king crab with avocado terrine, and for a dessert sweet cauliflower paste with nutmeg ice cream, to mention a few. I truly recommend to take the suggested wines with your menu.

Odd 10 "small urprises" from the kitchen and 5 course menu with wines. Excellent restaurant. Menu changes every 6 weeks. Selection is only up to 7 or 8 dishes covering everything from starters to desserts, but it is worth it. Difficult to find (2nd floor), but obviously the point is not to collect bypassers. You have to book in advance.

In this restaurant, I realized that the Finnish cuisine can be high, serious. No, not like before, that there was a restaurant in Porvoo exception (Timbally) and for several years there was no findings. In Luomo just have to go, pre-book a table, or a chance to get are not great.

A great place for dinner as you get all the different tastes with ingredients from all over Europe. A refreshing dining experience at a somewhat reasonable price. However one room for improvement is that we tend to understand what we are eating when we overheard the description of the dish to other dinners when serving. Our description of the dishes... More

High quality and high cost restaurant in Helsinki really worth a visit on special occasion. I was positively surprised of all the flavors in the "taste menu". Different European countries participated with dishes from north to south east to west. Excellent wines from a good wine list or choose the according wine package to the taste menu. We had a... More

On business, myself and my business partner wanted to visit a Michelin star restaurant in Helsinki. We had a choice of 5 and confess that after looking at websites and menus, Luomo was the 3rd one that we rang after 2 were fully booked. I have to say, I'm glad they were booked and we ended up at Luomo! The... More
