A Michelin tour of the Baltic states
Monai was fabulous. Food was right up there with the very best that we had on the holiday and the service was also excellent. Desserts were the best of the holiday. Just a delight. It would have graced any of the capital cites. Farmer and the Ocean was huge fun. A really buzzy atmosphere in a great street full of energy and tremendous for people watching. Again service was attentive and the food excellent. A great place to finish our holiday. Very highly recommended. Nolla and Vinkelli in Helsinki were just fabulous. An utter delight and worth the holiday in their own right. I couldn't praise them highly enough. Food, wine matching, service, ambience just perfect. Three Chefs was worth it just for the bread and the various dressings artistically painted on the cooking paper. The rest of the meal was wonderful. The sea bass with kohlrabi, apple and elderflower dressing was perfectly balanced. Right up there with the very best.
