Ravintola Palace

We spent three hours savoring the chef’s menu at this restaurant. Interestingly, the waitress handed us a menu at the beginning, explaining that we could either look at it or preserve the element of surprise. We chose to keep the mystery alive by not peeking at the menu, and it turned out to be the right decision. Each course brought its own delightful surprise. The true brilliance of the menu lay in its thoughtful progression; the dishes were unpretentious, simple, and straightforward. The chef's mastery was evident in the sauces, so much so that I found myself tempted to lick the remaining sauce off the plate several times. The final main course, roasted quail, was served with bread, which finally allowed me to mop up every last bit of sauce on the plate. The non-alcoholic drink pairings were mostly crafted fruit juices sourced from various countries, with only one drink made in-house. It resembled white wine but was actually filtered tomato juice.

Loved everything about it - restaurant vibe was awesome. The only recommendation is to do a half wine menu.

The Palace is the best restaurant in Finnish history. The service is fearless, relaxed, and professional, the food is worthy of three Michelin stars, the interior design is elegant and understated, and the views are stunning. I might know a little about what I'm talking about, as I've dined at Mirazur around 10 times, including twice when it was rated the best restaurant in the world. President Stubb could forgo attending sports events and hugging unsuccessful finnish national athletes and instead dine at the Palace once a month and embrace Eero Vottonen — one of Finland’s most significant artists.

This is easily the best restaurant in all of Finland. I was amazed to find this level of culinary excellence in Helsinki. And I will most likely be back whenever they change their menu because this was superb. Good job to the team!

Another excellent dinner. This place is just rising higher and higher, in terms of food and service. I have been regular since doors opened. And no doubt one of thr best two star michelin restaurant in the world. In our recent visit few plateswere out of this world. The green peas in mushroom dashi and caviar. We ordered it twice. And white fish. Excellent wine selection is also very attractive and there are certainly a bottle for every wallet. I wish the work continues to chase for the 3rd star.

Amazing experience overall. Fantastic food and tastes, with top of the line service. Wine pairings and unique selections are one of the kind. Menu provides wide variety of tastes that don’t overshadow others. Just fabulous food and service. Surely top restaurant in Helsinki, guaranteed satisfaction. Prices are also on the top of the range in the city. Views to harbor and to city makes it memorable.

Everything meets the Michelins 2-stars expectations. We love the food, services and location. The menu we had was Japanese inspired Nordic cuisine, very smooth experience.

As recommended to me by a local, Palace is probably the best of Finnish fine dining wile also providing a tour de force of Finnish food. With a focus on seafood, each dish that is served seems to meld flavors from different Finnish regions, for example, fish roe from the western coast with yuzu from the East. The dishes are intricately prepared and several of the starters and appetizers truly unique in both presentation and flavor. Add onto that the impeccable level of service provided by both the kitchen and wait staff, and the overall evening was very enjoyable. One minor critique I would offer was that service and pacing seemed to slow towards the end of the evening, which might be explained by the fact that each table was seated by that time. However, it could be imporoved upon. Finally, while the price for a single tasting menu certainly wasn't cheap, it was also reasonable given the quality and number of dishes provided. I wholeheartedly recommend Palace to anyone who wants to take a tour of Finland without leaving Helsinki, and is willing to part with 240€ per person to do so.

Best experience in a restaurant in Finland ever. Amazing views, excellent food and very kind service.
