Olo

Modern Nordic · helsinki · Michelin One Star · Chef Mikko Pakola

Olo has held its Michelin star for fifteen consecutive years, making it one of Finland's most enduring fine dining institutions. Located on the Esplanade in central Helsinki, head chef Mikko Pakola crafts nine-to-twelve course tasting menus of quiet intensity—Greenland shrimps, Lappish almond potato, Oscietra caviar, wild fallow deer—where each dish is both a precise individual statement and part of a carefully calibrated whole. The Finnish word 'olo' means feeling or sensation, and that is exactly what the restaurant delivers across three hours at the table.
