Nolla ★ 4.4
Nolla on Fredrikinkatu was one of the world's first zero-waste restaurants and now carries a Michelin Bib Gourmand, cooking local seasonal plates.
Order: Whatever the daily menu lands on; the kitchen cooks to what arrives package-free from producers.
Tip: The name means zero in Finnish. Producers deliver in reusable crates and the in-house composter closes the loop.
Grön 1 ★ ★ 4.8
Grön in Punavuori holds a Michelin star and Green Star; Toni Kostian cooks a plant-forward set menu of foraged Finnish produce in a 16-seat room.
Order: The set tasting menu; the full menu is also available as an entirely plant-based version.
Tip: Just 16 seats around an open kitchen on Albertinkatu. Vegetables, wild plants and fermentations lead; book three to four weeks out.

Aoi ★ 4.3
Aoi is a small Ullanlinna room in the Michelin Guide, run by a trio cooking a short four-course menu where global ideas meet Nordic produce like pike perch.
Order: The four-course menu; spring brings white asparagus, summer the pike perch with fennel and apple.
Tip: A personal, low-key dining room on quiet Neitsytpolku. The menu is short and rewritten often, so trust the kitchen.
Palace 2 ★ ★ 4.9
Palace holds Finland's only two Michelin stars, on the tenth floor of a 1952 Olympics building, where Eero Vottonen cooks a Finnish tasting menu.
Order: The full tasting menu; Vottonen leans hard on Finnish lake fish and game in season.
Tip: The dining room is on the top floor with views over the harbour and Market Square. Book three to four weeks ahead for weekend tables.
Olo 1 ★ ★ 4.7
Olo on the Pohjoisesplanadi has held a Michelin star since 2011, serving a long Nordic tasting menu of northern ingredients in a grand 19th-century townhouse.
Order: The OlO tasting menu; the kitchen builds it around the best northern produce of the week.
Tip: Set in a neoclassical merchant's house on the Esplanadi. Reservations take one to six guests online; larger groups by enquiry.
Grön 1 ★ ★ 4.8
Grön in Punavuori holds a Michelin star and Green Star; Toni Kostian cooks a plant-forward set menu of foraged Finnish produce in a 16-seat room.
Order: The set tasting menu; the full menu is also available as an entirely plant-based version.
Tip: Just 16 seats around an open kitchen on Albertinkatu. Vegetables, wild plants and fermentations lead; book three to four weeks out.
Demo 1 ★ ★ 4.7
Demo has held a Michelin star since 2007 and in 2024 moved to a Ruoholahti tower with near 360-degree views, where Tommi Tuominen serves three tasting menus.
Order: The chef's menu at dinner, or the four-course lunch for the city's best-value star meal.
Tip: Now on the top observation floor of the We Land building in Ruoholahti. The weekday lunch menus are far cheaper than dinner.
