How this list is chosen: Restaurants holding Michelin stars, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
Demo
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Open since 2003 and Michelin-starred since 2007, Demo has held a consistent position at the upper tier of Helsinki's modern cuisine scene. Chef Jan Willem Punt leads a kitchen where the wine program, ranked multiple times at the summit of Star Wine List's annual recognition, carries as much weight as the food. The address is Itämerenkatu 25 in the Ruoholahti district, placing it slightly west of the city's main dining cluster.
Finnjävel Salonki
1 Michelin star
Grön
2 Michelin stars
Grön operates from Albertinkatu in Helsinki's Punavuori district, running two tasting menus built entirely on seasonal, organic, and wild ingredients. Chef Toni Kostian holds a Michelin star and consistent Opinionated About Dining recognition, placing the restaurant among Helsinki's most serious creative kitchens. The wine program carries a Star Wine List White Star designation, reinforcing a dining format where the cellar matches the kitchen's ambition.
Olo
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Michelin-starred Olo Helsinki elevates Nordic cuisine to artistic heights within an 1818 stone townhouse, where Chef-Owner Jari Vesivalo's seasonal tasting menus showcase Finland's leading ingredients through innovative techniques that honor Scandinavian culinary traditions.
Palace
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
The only restaurant in Helsinki to hold two Michelin stars, Palace occupies the upper floor of its namesake building on Eteläranta, looking directly over the harbour and the old marketplace. Under chef Eero Vottonen, it operates in a tier of its own within the Finnish capital's fine-dining scene, with a wine programme that has drawn Star Wine List recognition every year since 2020 and a La Liste score of 75 points in 2026.
Restaurant Boreal
1 Michelin star
On a quiet stretch of Uudenmaankatu in central Helsinki, Restaurant Boreal occupies the kind of address that rewards those paying attention to Finland's serious-dining tier. The restaurant positions itself within the city's northern-European fine-dining conversation, where occasion meals are taken deliberately and the room does as much work as the kitchen. An address worth tracking for milestone evenings in the Finnish capital.
