One New Michelin Star in Helsinki

The Michelin men (and women) have been in town again and we have one new starred restaurant - Olo, which concentrates in modern Finnish and Scandinavian cuisine.

My only experience at Olo was rather lacklustre so I guess I better go and revisit to see if they have improved or I just happened to be there on a bad night.

Others retained their stars: CD still has two (and their €29 three-course lunch remains the gourmet deal of the decade) and Demo, Postres, Luomo still have one. As Carma was closed, it naturally lost its star (the word on Carma's successor, the more relaxed La Table has been positive and they did earn a Bib Gourmand).

The Asian fusion eatery Farang also earned a Bib Gourmand (with a little bit of polish, they are a likely candidate for a star in a couple of years).

Grotesk and Solna kept their Bib Gourmands while Mecca lost it (deservedly, in all instances).

Cheers,
T.
