Dinner at Restaurant OLO Helsinki

Dinner at Michelin star OLO Helsinki

What a delight to dine in Helsinki tonight at Michelin star OLO, a wonderful restaurant featuring creative northern Scandinavian cuisine. Located in a beautiful and historic 200+ year old harbourfront townhouse, OLO features a lovely minimalist type decor. So fortunate tonight to be able to get the single place chef’s counter with a view of all the action in the kitchen, and to be able to see my 10+ course tasting menu being prepared by chef/owner Tuomas and his team. Food, wine and service were absolutely outstanding. 

My chef's counter seat with a view of the action...

Wonderful Quail egg with Morel mushroom tea.

Yellowtalk amberjack with ginger and shiro soy

Slightly cured whitefish with whitefish roe and melon-jasmine broth.

Chef Tuomas preparing my next dish.

Incredible Steamed arctic char with Vin Jaune sauce and trout roe.  Wow.

Fabulous Poached Lobster with jalapeno and Olo's XO sauce.

Up next...

Freshly baked sourdough bread.

With Sauteed reindeer with Lappish almond potato.

Oh yeah!

And old friend.  I enjoyed this lovely Barossa Shiraz in Sydney a few weeks back.

Perfect with Dry-aged dairy cow with sunchoke and oxtail sauce.

Dessert time, starting with Coffee ice cream with roasted white chocolate and dates.

And assorted sweets to finish a wonderful meal.

Kiitos to Tuomas, Oscar and Hector for a memorable evening.
