I had an absolutely amazing 4-5 course daily prix fixe meal while in Helsinki for work. The meal that day included a fish crudo, tender flank steak, mushroom risotto, vegetable course and dessert. Every bite was delicious, truly.

Muru proved a delightful, tasty and relaxed restaurant. Tasty 'Sea scallops al crudo' were followed by 'Risotto alla chanterelles'; both excellent. The first 'Riesling' was pleasing; the second 'Maconnais Pinot Noir' delightful. Negronis proved fresh, and grappas with cappuccino very original.

Service was excellent and beautifully casual and relaxed (once the exceedingly punctual entrance let us in).

An excellent first visit!

Muru is a casually elegant restaurant with great food and service. We chose the four course menu. It was superb. The star of the menu was reindeer filet which was cooked perfectly. A great evening is assured. We highly recommend it.

There is a very limited menu, but it changes constantly and stays fresh and seasonal. The food is well presented, and the quality is excellent. In particular the fish was exquisitely cooked -- not an easy feat. The wine list was well chosen. The restaurant is quite small, limited seating capacity, closed several days a week, and it is imperative to book in advance or one simply would not find space.

Muru has both a wine bar and restaurant in close but separate locations. We visited the restaurant, which offers a superb tasting menu with optional matched wines. No menu choice (other than the number of courses) but every dish was excellent. The menu of day is written on a chalkboard in Finnish, but the serving staff explain everything in English. The 5-course menu with matched wines came to €260 for two.
