Michelin Guide has updated it’s list of rewarded restaurants. All 5 existing Michelin restaurants kept their stars Chez Dominique in lead with 2 stars. We hoped that Chez Dominique would earn third star, but unfortunately not. Work or even food art of Hans Välimäki would have been worth of it.
Restaurants with Michelin stars are:
Chez Dominique, Rikhardinkatu 4, Helsinki: 2 stars (owner Hans Välimäki) http://www.chezdominique.fi/home_cd2?
Demo, Uudenmaankatu 9-11, Helsinki: 1 star (owners Tommi Tuominen and Teemu Aura) http://www.restaurantdemo.fi/demo
Luomo, Vironkatu 8, Helsinki: 1 star (owners Jouni Toivanen and Mika Mattila) http://www.luomo.fi/en/restaurant/
Olo, Kasarmikatu 44, Helsinki: 1 star (owners Pekka Terävä and Petri Lukkarinen) http://www.olo-restaurant.com/home.html
Postres, Eteläesplanadi 8, Helsinki: 1 star (owners Samuli Wirgentius and Jari Liimatta) http://www.postres.fi/

Bib Gourmand restaurants are:
Farang, Ainonkatu 3, Helsinki
Gaijin, Bulevardi 6, Helsinki – (new)
Grotesk, Ludviginkatu 8-10, Helsinki
La Table, Lönnrotinkatu 27, Helsinki (new location)
Solna, Solnantie 26, Helsinki
Interesting is that Farang and Gaijin have now both Bid Gourmand (excellent price/quality ratio) logos; both owned by chefs Tomi Björk and Matti Wiberg. Also interesting is that Grotesk, owned by same chefs as Demo, got Bid Gourmand logo. First time same owners have two restaurants in Michelin Guide.

Thanks for stopping by at my blog—next time leave a comment :O)
Impressive post – I recently did a cooking class with a 1* chef which was really fun. Thanks for visiting my blog, too.

Likewise!
Interesting! Thanks for liking my recent blog post! Cheers!
Likewise! Same stars 2013, list was just updated.
I’ve been to Demo, Olo and Chez Dominique so far. I must say that Demo and Olo are both fantastic, a tough tie for the first place, with Chez Dominique in a far away third position. I agree with the previous comment that they charge twice for lower quality. Maybe it was the menu they had at the time, but the prices of the drinks were just ridiculously absurd. I’m looking forward to try Postres and Luomo.
Just dined at Luomo, Postres and Chez Dominique on successive nights. Chez Dominique was a distant third. Over 4 hours for the 6 course version – I shudder to think how long the 9 or 13 course meal would have taken. Chez D was twice the price for lower quality – the wine pairing at 100 euros was absurd. I would give them zero stars – to suggest they should have three is just not real.
Thanks for comments. Dined at Chez Dominique a year ago, would have given 5++++++++++
I will have to try some of these when I go back to Helsinki in September.
Enjoy!
