Stand outside in -4 degree weather to get first dibs at the bar seating to eat + drink EVERYTHING.
The only restaurant I have been to in Helsinki where I have felt like we have gotten a world class guest experience.
From the wine choices to the cuts of meat to the balance of fat, acid, and salt, we were experiencing nirvana. The cheese plate is dope.
The service is kind and grounded in present humble and detailed honesty. Just wonderful!
I must discuss all these Finn’s who have not given this place a perfect 5 star review: CHILL OUT. Seriously.
Your idiocy based on “prices” is ridiculous. These people are bringing the highest quality product while opening a small business during COVID while having to deal with all the new world responsibilities that go along with it.

If you love anything about Japanese food/culture, this is not Japanese, it's Finnish playing with the flavors, but you'll find this...
Read moreA truly fantastic dinner experience here tonight, easily the best meal we’ve had in all our travels through the Baltic states and Helsinki so far. The many dishes we tried were all fresh, wonderful and surprisingly original - so eclectic and interesting that the style is challenging to describe, but a delight to discover. The pacing was perfect, the vibe elegant yet remarkably friendly. Chef Samu came out multiple times to explain the dishes & his unconventional culinary approach. But the highlight of the evening was our delightful server Anastasia: endlessly knowledgeable, charming, witty, warm, and by the end of the night almost like a long lost a friend. Thank you for giving us such a special experience. Helsinki is richer because of a...
