Too much food, too many small portions and too expensive
I thought that the new French cuisine with all its mini dishes is no longer popular, but it still seems, at least if you want 2 stars, to be enough. The last time I was here there were 2 menus, a shorter and a longer version. Unfortunately no more. You only have one choice, and then it takes 4 hours and you get too much, too complicated and nevertheless not particularly imaginative food. I think that the level of creativity has decreased at the expense of the amount of ingredients per dish increasing and there being more Japanese ingredients without tasting Asian in any way. The wine list is long and expensive. There is just no white wine under €150. Mostly around 3-400. Calls for a shorter menu option, some cheaper wine options, more creativity and fewer ingredients. Questioning the amount of sugar cube sized roots despite the 2 stars. Another nice pub, good service and good food, but costs €350/man with a (€160) wine/4 pers. Probably not worth the price

I thought the food was quite influenced by Japan. They served wasabi, ponzu, Shiramasa or teriyaki. The food was good, but the service was a bit off. There was no assistance with the toilet, the food was served unevenly, and the seat was next to the door where the food was served, which bothered me every time the door opened and closed. I thought I had made a reservation quite early, but I can't help but feel like it was because I'm Asian.

Ravintola Palace Helsinki This is not a restaurant to order food. It’s a culinary journey into the wonderful world of amazing food that dances around in your mouth to highest point. The starters. The depths of flavour in just small morsels is sensational. That last just heaven. Danish king fish yellow tail. So soft even sweet Devine the sea balance is sensational. Oh my gosh. The liquid was so good so sweet so sour so delicate so bloody good. Best fish ever. Best Dashi style ever. Lobster Velvet like smooth tasty delight the addition of avocado is brilliance. Scallops like thick delicious steak except it wasn’t it is sensational light succulent scallops heavy on flavour which is why there paired with the mushroom. And paired with 20 years old sherry. What am I doing. Sherry with scallops hmmm it works. Cuts through creaminess is perfect with the scallops Vendace Roe. Wow explain that. The best kept secrets of Finland. It’s not salty like caviar it’s more rounded succulent popping candy of the sea. Love it. White fish wow just wow translucent wonderfulness This one of those dishes that you just can’t explain with words. It’s that delicious. Pidgeon with truffle shavings. Soft Amazing Soft sweet so extremely well cooked balanced meat. I suspect it took time to get the right balance. It is a triumph of culinary experience. A true finally to the mains. What followed was sensational deserts small bits of again amazing food. To the wonderful chefs who accompanied each dish with thorough descriptions.

Wow. Where do i start? First- a message to Chef and owner Eero Vottanen. Congratulations on your staff, your food and your vibe. It is, a full package. Staff first. What a strong start. Your Cuban cloakroom attendant was smiling, friendly and welcoming. Passed with flying colours when he did not even flinch as i handed my dirty, ice-covered shoe cleats ( a must during winter- the roads are very icy and slippery) Up to the tenth floor. Front of house staff were waiting with large smiles, offerings of cocktails on the veranda was taken, giving extensive views of the beautiful city and frozen bay. Sommelier - Alexei. Professional and extremely knowledgeable. We don’t drink much and the offer of the wine pairing was declined. Nevertheless, Alexei spent much time with us offering different wines by the glass and his recommendations were excellent, taking us to France, Italy and Spain. Reidel glassware and Show stopping Reidel decanters. Maitre’d. Consummate professional. Never there and yet always there. Like a NATO radar. The slightest gesture by me for attention was immediately noted and he comes gliding to me for assistance. Chef Eero. What a character. Most humble person, he served our dishes no less than thrice. Takes the time to converse with us and the other guests. A perfect host. Chefs and waiters staff were perfectly attired and groomed. The food- superb. Perfect harmony of flavours. Each dish- , worthy of being instagrammed. My wife, harsh critic that she is, said it would not be long before Ravintola Palace attains her 3rd Michelin star. I would not disagree. Michelin Gala will be held in Helsinki in 2024. I look forward to following Chef Eero and his wonderful team to a very bright future.

The menu had a strong Japanese influence and consisted mostly seafood. The presentation was pretty. The scallops with white asparagus and egg was my favourite. But I did find a couple of dishes a tad too salty and the desserts too sweet. But I don't have a sweet tooth so my feedback about the dessert may not be fair. My husband had informed them that I do not take game meat while making the reservation. But they still served me quail. When I alerted them, they offered to replace it with a beancurd dish. While I appreciate their efforts to change, I was expecting the change to be more exciting since it's a 2 Michelin star restaurant. When I told them I'm not so much into tofu, they did change it for me. So kudos to their service.
Be the first to ReplyGreat experince, in a great setting - best fine dining in Helsinki by a mile!
Must say I truly enjoyed the tasting menu and the winepackage that matches it. A lot of flavors all through the variety of dishes. As always in these places, when they explain what is on the plate, it is a bit overwhelming. Other than that nothing, nothing at all to give constuctive feedback on!

Fantastic restaurant with great food. I would say many of the dishes are way better than in 2 star places in general.
Be the first to ReplyHands-down best fine dining in Helsinki
Me and my partner have been eating out at many of Helsinki's establishments, including several of Palace's direct competitors at the top end of the fine dining scene. We spared Palace for the last as we had heard many good things about it. So last Christmas I finally bought a gift card for us and last week we went. As I complimented the staff at the end of the evening, I can understand why they have two Michelin stars and those competing places -- while excellent -- have one. It's not just technical perfection that was impressive, but the surprising vision of the dishes. There were no stuffy classics on sight, but each one was a fresh invention, demonstrating a mastery of cooking on a different level from just performing a recipe. In the menu we enjoyed, the theme was a kind of Nordic-Japanese fusion. I wouldn't have expected it coming in. The boldness reached its apex at the very end when we were served coffee with sweets and classic Finnish "tiger cake". Typically fine dining shies away from Finns liking coffee and sweets at the end of dinner, but not this time. It was almost like a statement that "here we can afford to do this". It was excellent of course. Bonus points for the milieu and exceptionally non-stuffy but immaculately professional staff, and no-fuss accessibility for two wheelchairs.
Be the first to ReplyBest meal in Finland ever
This is a world class restaurant on par with the best in Paris and New York. Beautiful rooftop setting with superb view of Helsinki. Amazingly authentic personnel. Artistically presented dishes with superb flavor profiles. Not one dish missed. Each sous-chef comes out and presents the course they have prepared; they are so proud of their work and humble. Unusually, for non-drinkers, they have fresh juices, teas and non-alcoholic wines to pair with each dish - makes the whole experience even more special. Expensive but so worth it!

There are many good and excellent restaurants in Helsinki, but this is hands down the best. The ”upgraded retro” ambiance, the location, the view — and the food, which is par none.
Be the first to ReplyGreat experience with couple of downsides
When it comes to Michelin star restaurant , it’s an entire different level of expectations , which start even at the moment of the reservation, up to the very last moment of the experience. In overall, Palace met mostly them all : the professional reservation , the welcome , the environment , the service , the food to the parting gift. To say it was perfect would not completely accurate though , the food had its up and down from good to excellent but not achieving a continuity in the culinary experience ; the service great in overall to couple of exceptions such as example the bread option which no one explained what it really was before getting it and even after getting time it (hint : it’s not only bread as the menu hints it ). It may appear being demanding, then again this is not the average random city restaurant : this is a Michelin restaurant after all . Price may be at the rendez-vous so should excellence.

We enjoyed our late evening with countless small plates. As weather gets better take into account at least their outdoor terrace and excellent drinks. Impeccable service!
