Grön is a small Nordic restaurant on Albertinkatu with an open kitchen and just a handful of tables, regularly ranked among Helsinki’s very best places to eat. Chef Toni Kostian and his team build the menu around northern seasonal produce: plenty of vegetables, wild plants, fermentations and clean, vivid flavours, with each tasting menu designed as a carefully composed story of several courses. The restaurant holds one MICHELIN star and a Green Star for sustainability, with many ingredients organic and local and a full tasting menu also available as an entirely plant-based option. An evening at Grön means a few focused hours in an intimate dining room, natural wines, dishes brought to the table by the chefs themselves and the feeling that you have stepped right into the heart of contemporary Scandinavian cuisine in Finland.
