Chez Dominique, Helsinki

This restaurant is best in Finland and also maybe best is Scandinavia. Ovner is Finnish super cook Hans Wälimäki. Reastaurant has also two Frensh Michelin Stars and it makes French stylish food. Menus changed often. This restaurant is worth of journey. Service is excellent, space and food too.I have visited there three time and quality is always similar. Prices are about 100 euroa menu and wines 100 euroa menu. Ps. If you like cars like Lexus and BMW, the Chez Dominuque is right restaurant to you.

this restaurant was amazing! it was so tastey! i would love to go back! i highly recommend this restaurant to anyone going to Helsinki!

Great room, great location, good food. Lots of Finland glass and table settings, if you are into looking at that. By USA standards Chez D serves slow. There are at least 3 "foam laden" amuse bouche. They tried to serve a 2001 wine in place of a 2000 wine, without announcing it, and then waited forever to explain what they were doing about it. No complimentary desert, which is strange. The main room holds 16 tables, 4 2 tops on banquettes, 4 2 tops in the middle of the room and 4 group tables that can fit anywhere from 2-8 I think. I don't think any table is especially good or bad in terms of placement. Looks like there is a great private dining room here. The kitchen door is placed in the middle of the room and despite the high tech way in which the door opens, it is a distraction. But, for Helsinki, this is probably as good as you can get. In NYC, the service would be a problem. The wine is completely European, esp French. Decent plus job, but not the "time of your life" event that I was expecting given their press.
