The 50 Best Restaurants in Finland
Project by Uni One Oy started in 2004 aiming to increase appreciation of Finland’s restaurants by listing the top 50 each year in a handy guide book format and in the newspaper. About 200-300 leading professionals from Finland’s restaurant industry – both chefs and others – are given the chance to vote for the establishment they see as the best. This creates the 50 Best list.
Interesting is that only 2 out of 5 Michelin star restaurants are in TOP 10 in this list https://reijosfood.com/2012/03/14/michelin-star-restaurants-in-finland-2012/
Restaurant Olo has 1 Michelin star which proves they have earned 1st place. Also Nyt-Insert chose Olo to the second place in their review http://nyt.fi/20121102-nyt-liite-valitsi-nokka-on-helsingin-paras-ravintola/
Restaurant Muru was chosen restaurant of the year 2012 by Finnish Gastronomy Society which also is a proof of being on top of this list http://www.gastronomit.fi/vuodenravintola.php.
Restaurant Farang leads Restaurant and wine reviews ranking, again right place.
Chez Dominique with 2 Michelin stars also earns to be on top. All other positions you can judge by yourself.
