Michelin Restaurants in Helsinki: Menus, Prices, Booking

Booking a MICHELIN-starred dinner in Helsinki comes down to the same practical questions at each table: what the menu costs, which days it's open and how to get a seat. This guide to Michelin restaurants in Helsinki covers six of them: the city's two two-star restaurants, Grön and Palace, and its four one-star restaurants, Boreal, Demo, Finnjävel Salonki and Olo. Star status follows the MICHELIN Guide as we checked it on 26 October 2026. Prices, opening hours and booking rules come from each restaurant's own website, checked on 26 October 2026. Menus and prices change with the seasons, so check the restaurant's site before you book.

Each of the six also has its own page with the key facts at a glance: Grön, Palace, Boreal, Demo, Finnjävel Salonki and Olo. For all of them side by side, see our Helsinki page.

Planning your tasting menu: a Helsinki trip around these tables

Book the table first. Booking dinner before flights and a hotel avoids planning a trip around a date you can't get. Boreal says its winter 2026–2027 reservations are open, with a waitlist. None of the other five websites we read gives a booking window, so check each booking system early.

Match the day to the restaurant. By their websites' hours, Grön, Palace and Boreal open for dinner Wednesday to Saturday. Demo, Finnjävel Salonki and Olo open from Tuesday (Olo's hours run Tuesday to Saturday). None of the six lists Sunday dinner, and only Finnjävel Salonki lists Monday openings, on two December dates.

Lunch options. Demo serves lunch Tuesday to Friday, from 69 €. Grön serves lunch on Saturday, with the Grön menu.

Winter holidays. Grön closes from 20 December 2026 to 5 January 2027, Finnjävel Salonki from 20.12.2026 to 6.1.2027, and Olo's info page lists a closure on 23.–28.12 without giving a year, so check with Olo.

Budget in euros. The main menus run from 108 € (Finnjävel Salonki's lower menu price) to EUR 250,00 (Palace), with drinks pairings extra. Demo takes a 100 € per-guest deposit at dinner, and Boreal charges the full menu price per guest for late cancellations.

Groups. Demo takes groups larger than six by email, Olo asks groups of more than 6 to book in advance, Boreal has a private room for up to 12, and Finnjävel Salonki has a cabinet with a larger group table.

Prices in this guide are as each restaurant showed them on 26 October 2026. Check the restaurant's site before you pay, and read the cancellation terms.
