Olo Helsinki

Olo is on Pohjoisesplanadi, a ten-minute walk from Helsinki Cathedral. The restaurant holds a Michelin star and is ranked no. 29 on La Liste.

Olo is a better choice for contemporary dining than the tourist-heavy spots bordering the nearby Market Square. While the room runs smart and elegant, the cooking is far more technical than the traditional fish-and-potato staples found elsewhere in the city. You visit here for the precision of the modern creative menu rather than local comfort food. It sits a five-minute walk from the quieter paths of Esplanadi Park, making it a destination for those who want a deliberate, paced meal that justifies the effort of a reservation.
