Restaurant, Helsinki, Finland (reviewed April, 2006)

Ilmatar – Kalevala meets fine dining

Ilmatar is the fine-dining restaurant of the recently opened boutique hotel Klaus K. The hotel enjoys an excellent location at the crossing of Mannerheimintie and Bulevardi, and thus the restaurant is quite packed during weekday evenings, too.

Restaurant Ilmatar in Klaus K, Helsinki

The menu is really fusion stuff; mixing Finnish epic Kalevala with the latest gourmet trends of the world. The end result is not that interesting, but more like peculiar. The food tastes good, but somehow the flavours do not add up and you end up wondering what is the essence of the portion…

The restaurant is expensive, especially if you are dining with your own money. The interiors are really nice and well-thought, and the service is up to bar with the other boutique hotels around the world.
