Tiny spot where the excellent food and quests are most impotant. This place is run by young people who have real passion for delicious food and relaxed friendly service.
The restaurant is small place, seat for about 18 persons, only open for dinner.
So best reserve table early beforehand.
We had the 4 courses menu with the wines. There were lot of little suprises thrown in to the menu between delicious courses. Every dish was exceedingly tasty and so was the wines also.
The service was welcoming and You really feel at home.
We would definitely recomend this restaurant for local people and to enyone visiting at Helsinki looking some modern Nordic cuisine and exellent service.
For next time ...

This tiny (18 seat) restaurant serves cutting edge modern cuisine with a focus on vegetables and local produce. There is a choice between four or six courses, including fish and meat courses. With two amuses bouche, a gin sorbet cleanser and petits-four, there is a huge diversity of immaculately prepared dishes. The paired wines include some interesting and unusual wines. Although not cheap, it was well-worth the outlay, with every course taking a new turn to challenge and thrill the palate.

I had a lovely evening here with my teenage son. We had the six course tasting menu, and enjoyed every dish. The menu included also some lovely bread and several amuses.

The wines to go with the food were well selected and complemented the food. My teenager obviously was not having the wine, but the restaurant had a nice selection of non-alcoholic beers and other drinks to choose from. Well done there too!

As some people have mentioned, the decor of the restaurant is a bit 'rough' with stripped walls etc, but it actually created a nice relaxed atmosphere. The space is really small, and I'm sure that if there were a bigger noisy group there at the same time, it might impact the experience. But this time it was nice with a comfortable level of happy conversation in all tables.

Altogether an enjoyable evening!

One of the best meals I have had in my life. Hands down. Wine perfection, impeccable service, knowledgeable staff, innovative menu, cool ambiance AND did I mention the tasty food? Truly an experience from start to finish. This American gal is grateful for this Helsinki Finland gem of a restaurant---more like a near perfect culinary experience!

First of I just have to say wow just wow. This may have been one of the best meals I have eaten. The food here is absolutely amazing. I can't remember what I had but whatever I had I know it was really good. The one thing I remember however is the Spruce Sorbet. It was good and tasted exactly how a Christmas tree smells. I also thought it was pretty cool to be eatting tree sap. which basically is what it is, a tree sap sorbet. It is a small restaurant but I think it is the perfect size for it. I really liked the vibe too. Overall, I really enjoyed the place and would definitely would recommend it. I will come back the next time I'm there.
