🌟 A Michelin Green Star Gem in Helsinki: Sustainable Fine Dining with a Side of Wow Tucked on Iso Roobertinkatu, this spot has been on my radar for ages—finally scored a reservation after endless sold-out nights! PS: Just found out it’s a Michelin Green Star restaurant (hello, sustainable foodie cred). Here’s why the DriveIN 5 tasting menu is worth every euro: 📍 Address:Iso Roobertinkatu 11, 00120 Helsinki 🔖 Pro Tip:Reserve ahead—this place is always booked. 🍴 DriveIN 5 Tasting Menu (€54): 5 Courses of Seasonal Magic Egg Simple name, complex flavors—think perfectly cooked egg with hidden herbaceous notes. Mackerel Fresh, lightly cured mackerel that melts in your mouth—zero fishiness, all oceanic freshness. Crayfish ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Game-changer! Crayfish stuffed into a ring-shaped dumpling, with a springy texture that pops in your mouth. First time eating dumplings like this—addictive. BBQ (Swapped for Wild Salmon) Pro move: Skip the pork, go for salmon. Flaky, buttery, and grilled to perfection—easily the menu’s MVP. Frozen Yogurt 2013 Not your average yogurt! Creamy base with a thin layer of ice shavings, swirled with strawberry jam and nuts. Refreshing end to a rich meal. 🌟 Starter Bread That Stole the Show Warm bread served with slightly salty cream that melts on your tongue. Simple, but I wanted to ask for a second batch (too polite to do so... regret it now). 🌿 Ambiance & Sustainability Vibes Decor: Minimalist with natural elements—think wooden beams and greenery, feels like dining in a chic forest. Open Kitchen: Watch chefs prep dishes with precision—fun to see the magic happen. Water Note: Still/Sparkling water is extra (€2/€3), but worth it for the glass bottles. 📝 Final Verdict: Worth the Hype (and the Wait) Flavors: Creative, seasonal, and perfectly balanced. Green Star Cred: They source locally and focus on sustainability—good food with a clear conscience. Price: €54 for 5 courses is reasonable for fine dining in Helsinki. #HelsinkiFineDining #MichelinGreenStar #SustainableCuisine #FoodieBucketList
