One of the few Nordic restaurants in the city, there are still plenty of seats available one or two days in advance, which makes people feel very emotional. The seven-course set meal plus wine may be more than half of the same level restaurant in the Bay Area, covering the fjord specialty fish and fresh quail, as well as two very good desserts. Unfortunately, the processing of poultry still feels like the characteristics of Chinese cuisine, and I can't find anything particularly good after eating everywhere...

We looked for a place to eat when we arrived in Finland. The waiter who picked us up at the airport recommended two places to us. One was already unavailable, but the other was OK, so we went to this restaurant. The apartment we stayed in was OK, and it was not too far away. Because the urban area of Finland is not big, we asked the waiter to recommend it when we went there. He recommended 15 dishes to us. Later we found out that we could choose. We ate for nearly 4 hours and almost fell asleep. We were so sleepy. Every dish was very exquisite, but many of them were salty. It might be a common problem here. Seven or eight kinds of drinks were very special, and there were also seven or eight kinds of wine. Friends who drank it felt sick. The last few desserts were not bad. Anyway, all the dishes were very special. It was a dark Michelin restaurant. You can come and try it, but order less. However, I forgot a bottle of eye drops when I left. I came here specially the next day and they said they were out of stock. I felt that it was not a good idea. The venison was also not bad.
Olo Ravintola is a very famous restaurant in Helsinki. It serves Nordic cuisine and can also provide vegetarian food. There is reindeer meat and seafood here. The reindeer meat is a little bit hard to eat, but the seafood is delicious. In this restaurant, we also tried the so-called molecular cuisine, but it was not interesting. I always like desserts in Western food.
Rye bread, made from sourdough, is a staple in the Finnish diet. There are many different types of rye bread, but the most popular and common is reiköleipa (bread with holes in it). In the past, Finns used to hang bread from poles in the rafters. The bread is firm, flat and very heavy, but Finns living abroad will ask friends and family to send them rye bread by mail, no matter how expensive it is.
It is a very unique restaurant. It is a good choice to come here to try something new. This restaurant also cooperates with airlines' airplane meals. It is a very memorable restaurant. I highly recommend it. The restaurant environment is also very good.
