Ravintola Olo Check in at a Michelin one-star restaurant
🌟 Ravintola Olo: Helsinki's Michelin-Starred Culinary Journey 📍 Address:Pohjoisesplanadi 5, 00170 Helsinki 🌟 Status:Michelin 1-Star | Contemporary Nordic Cuisine 💰 Autumn 2022 Tasting Menu (€129/person) A seasonal symphony of flavors—here’s the breakdown: 🍴 Menu Highlights: Autumn 2022 Tasting Journey Mushrooms with Matsutake Tea, Quail Egg Yolk, Spinach Earthy mushrooms meet delicate matsutake broth, crowned with a runny quail yolk. A cozy nod to fall. Beef Tartare with Oyster Cream, Turnip Velvety beef tartare cut by briny oyster cream—surprising umami depth. Cured Cod with Langoustine Mousse, Chanterelle Butter Sauce ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Breathtaking! Flaky cod cured to perfection, paired with sweet langoustine mousse and nutty chanterelle butter. My standout dish. Cabbage with Reindeer XO Sauce, Cabbage Sprouts Creative twist on comfort food: Tender cabbage meets bold reindeer XO sauce (think umami-packed, slightly spicy). Pork with Ham, Finnish Foie Gras Disappointing contrast: Tender pork overshadowed by overly rich foie gras. Failed to impress. Roasted Rye Parfait with Caramelized Carrots, Butter Nutty rye parfait balanced by sweet caramelized carrots—surprisingly addictive. Dessert Seasonal sweets to end on a light, refreshing note (think berry sorbets or spiced creams). 🌟 Final Bite: Worth the Hype? Yes for the cod! That langoustine mousse sauce is worth every euro. Skip the pork unless you’re a foie gras die-hard. Atmosphere:Elegant yet unpretentious—perfect for special occasions. Finally checked Olo off my bucket list! 🥂 #MichelinStarDining #HelsinkiFineDining #NordicCuisine #FoodieBucketList
