3. Demo -- the Demo guys seem to have started to play it safe after the star. Smart, perhaps, but a bit boring.
4. Carma -- technically well prepared but rather uninspiring food. I probably need to give Carma another chance.

Also, comparing the these restaurant with the half-dozen or so starred restaurants I have visited outside of Finland recently, my conclusion is that they hold their own very well and offer typically better value for money than most international high-end restaurants.
