๐ Nolla | A Restaurant Where Every Dish is Delicious ๐
Had a meal with a friend at a place with 12k followers on Instagram. The restaurant's accolades are modestly displayed by the restroom door, and I wouldn't have known it was a Michelin Guide restaurant if I hadn't gone in there. The staff introduced the Chiefโs Choice Menu as a hidden menu, so we ordered it at ๐ถ56โฌ per person. It includes two appetizers, one main course, and one dessert. However, it turned out not to be so hidden as we found all three dishes on the menu. ๐ซ Pike Perch Crudo, Red Escabeche, and Raspberries ๐ถ 14โฌ Pike Perch sashimi with red vinegar sauce and raspberries. The taste was great, and the red vinegar sauce made it very appetizing. ๐ซ I didn't quite catch the name of the second dish, only heard "pasta." Blame my poor English for not finding it on the menu. So, this one truly counts as a hidden menu item. In four words: it was incredibly delicious. ๐ซ Grilled Catch of the Day, Smoked Potatoes, and Fermented Paprika Butter Sauce ๐ถ 27โฌ We guessed the main course was this one because it came with potatoes and pepper sauce, haha. The fish was tender and juicy, and the sauce was a bit salty for my taste, but it paired perfectly with the potatoes. Very delicious. ๐ซ Yogurt Ice Cream, Candied Lemon with Seaweed and Rose Quince Granita ๐ถ 11โฌ Yogurt ice cream with candied lemon, seaweed, and rose quince granita. I already love yogurt ice cream, and with the lemon and granita, it made for a very refreshing dessert. It was very tasty. No wonder this restaurant has so many fans; every dish is indeed delicious. And the water is free of charge. Very satisfying. #NewYearFeast #FoodDiary #RestaurantExploration #Helsinki #MichelinGuide
