Michelin Guide announced updated list of Michelin starred restaurants on 12th March. We have two new 1 Michelin star restaurants in Helsinki!
Ask and Chef & Sommelier got their first Michelin stars today!
Another big news last year was that 2 Michelin star restaurant Chez Dominique closed down it’s doors. Means that there are no 2 or 3 star restaurants in Finland or Helsinki.
Restaurants with 1 Michelin star in Helsinki are:
Ask, Vironkatu 8, Helsinki – http://restaurantask.com/ (NEW!)
Chef & Sommelier, Huvilakatu 28, Helsinki – http://chefetsommelier.fi/en/ (NEW!)

You you agree with the stars, esp the new ones? And what do you think about Michelin switching to having a dedicated “Nordics” version next year?
Basically agree but there are some restaurants which could have star as well like G.W.Sundmans. Think it can never get as it is owned by restaurant chain which owns around 20 restaurants like Savoy.
I think there are about 30 Michelin restaurants in the Nordics. Maybe too few for Nordic edition.
I think reason they are going to the Nordic edition in 2015 is the whole trend…but partly it lets them get out of Copenhagen/Stockholm/Oslo/Helsinki and to places they otherwise have not rated. Places like Fäviken that are so far away don’t get proper rating. Plus, this helps Estonia & Latvia — if they count it as nordics!
Estonia and Latvia are not part of Nordics. However, Estonia and Finland have close relationship in many ways, one reaaon of course is that it takes only 1 1/2 hours to travel between countries by ferry
I know, I lived in Estonia for many, many years and speak Estonian fluently.
Nice to know!
