Nolla | The best thing about the country is its understated taste

🍴 Hidden Michelin-Approved Gem in Helsinki: Where Every Bite is Insta-Worthy Tucked on Fredrikinkatu, this low-key restaurant (12k Instagram followers served up our New Year’s feast. Spoiler: The "hidden" Chief’s Choice Menu was chef’s kiss worthy. 📍 Address：Fredrikinkatu 22, 00120 Helsinki 🌟 Fun Fact：Check the bathroom for their Michelin Guide plaque—random but iconic. 💰 Chief’s Choice Menu (€56/person) 2 starters, 1 main, 1 dessert—turned out all menu-staples, but who’s complaining? 🍴 Starters: Freshness & Mystery Pike Perch Crudo, Red Escabeche & Raspberries (€14) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thinly sliced pike perch, tangy red vinegar sauce, and juicy raspberries—bright, acidic, and totally appetizing. Mysterious Pasta Dish (the real hidden gem!) Missed the name (blame my English), but found zero trace on the menu. Result? Insanely good—creamy, al dente, with umami bursts. 🐟 Main Course: Grilled Catch of the Day (€27) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Flaky fish (we guessed cod) with smoky potatoes and fermented paprika butter sauce. Fish was juicy, sauce salty (perfect with potatoes), and potatoes? Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside. 🍨 Dessert: Yoghurt Ice Cream Paradise (€11) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tangy yoghurt ice cream, candied lemon, seaweed flakes, and rose quince granita. Creamy, zesty, and refreshing—like a Nordic summer in a bowl. 🌟 Bonus Points Free Water：Yes, in Helsinki! Sparkling or still, no extra charge. Vibe：Minimalist decor, friendly staff, and zero pretentiousness. 📝 Final Take From the insta-famous pasta to the seaweed-sweet dessert, every dish delivered. Pro tip: Skip the "hidden" menu and order à la carte—you can’t go wrong. #HelsinkiFineDining #MichelinGuideFind #NewYearsFeast #FinlandFoodie
