Fine Dining At Nokka

Restaurant Nokka is located in a charming old red-tile building in an idyllic Katajanokka area.





It was chosen as the Best Restaurant in Helsinki by the food critics of Finland's leading newspaper Helsingin Sanomat so I was tempted to go and check the menu. On a Saturday evening the restaurant was fully booked so table reservation was needed. Portions on the menu were named after the place where they come from, which was a nice idea.    


As Nokka is specialized in local food we chose selection of Finnish farm delicacies as a starter. All small portions had a perfect blend of basic Finnish food flavours and they were extremely tasty. 


I really like reindeer, but do not eat it that often so that was easy choise for a main course. The portion was named Salla after a place in Lapland where the reindeers are from.


And the crown for the tasty dinner was a delicious Bûche de Noël as a dessert. So rich and so good!


Excellent service together with gorgeous food and a great company so definitely worth its price!
