Location is very close to Esplanade.Very Central Decor is simple rather informal and sloppy . Service is prompt and continuous feel a bit like sushi train . Food is small but delicious Short journey took 2 hours to complete 6 courses plus 5 small dishes. Remember to ask if u like the main course as unfortunately my wife did not... More

We went here wanting to try some Finnish cuisine. What a pleasant surprise, this place was so much more than we expected. Absolutely amazing food, not "traditional Finnish" but spectacular dishes with fresh local produce. We did "the shorter way" as we did not have time for "the journey" (four to five hours). This was more than enough although if... More

..but very pricey. Very very high quality food with a good twist in all courses. Duck liver was excellent as was the celery pyre. Especially the house bread made my day. BUT...generally I would use a just bit more salt with all courses. Therefore I was not sure whether to give 4 or 5 stars for the food itself...but I... More

I went to this restaurant on a recent business visit to Finland and the location was booked by Finish colleagues. Food was superbly presented, service top notch and the experience worth having however for me, a bit of a philistine in terms of food a lost was wasted. .....saying that I would recommend to try the restaurent but take your...

Hard to choose between the Journey (longer) or the shorter menu! We chose the shorter as we had an early start the next morning but were still treated to twelve courses of exquisite food that lasted three and a half hours. We paired the food with the suggested wines and did not regret a single drop. The dishes were inspired,... More

This was one of our most outstanding meals, EVER. It was a cold and snowy February evening when we arrived, but were soon settled in by the staff who were very knowledgeable and approachable. We aren't in Helsinki very often so we headed for the full-on 'Journey', with matched wines. It was the most tasteful, curious and amazing experience through... More

Initially, Olo was a high-quality eatery producing fine international-style food based on finnish ingredients. In May of 2008 it was obvious they deserved a star for their standard of excellence - only the star didn't come, because they were emulating hundreds of similar places all over Europe and elsewhere. Olo's niche was the high-end business lunch in a clean and... More

Enjoyed the shorter menu this time, if 12 dishes can be called short. Clear tasting delicacies of vegetables, mouth-watering seafood and meat alike. The prestige wine package was interesting and very well suited to the food. The sommelier was knowledgeable and had real enthusiasm. The dishes were served in quick succession after one another, but I still ended up spending... More

Went to take the Journey 9-course surprise menu with prestige wines for two in January 2013. Combination of quality wines and courses was nearly perfect. All 13 courses (9 based on the menu, 4 amuse bouches) looked great on the plates. Expensive, but worth it. Will go again, definitely.
