The Mighty Michelin Guide has been kind with the stars up the Finnish restaurant sky and decided to not let any drop. That means Hans Välimäki’s Chez Dominique keep their two, while Demo and Carma get to keep their one star.
It’s nice to notice that I’ve had the privilege of dining in all but Carma – and they were definitely all worth a detour. I especially liked Postres that one time.
In a time when fast food is about the only industry that does well it’s also good to see Helsinki retain it’s status as a capital in the Nordic Countries that has a two-star restaurant – like they all do nowadays.
I’m all for the star tradition. Maybe this will attract a tourist or two and help keep the places alive.
