The 2024 MICHELIN Guide Ceremony Nordic Countries will take place at Helsinki’s Savoy Theatre and Helsinki City Hall on 27 May. Organized together with The MICHELIN Guide and Visit Finland, as well as the Finnish food and drink industry firms of Fazer, The Helsinki Distilling Company, Kespro and Valio Aimo, the event is expected to attract hundreds of restaurant industry professionals and international media representatives to Helsinki.
The MICHELIN Stars awarded at the ceremony are the most coveted and prestigious recognition in the restaurant industry. Other special awards, including the MICHELIN Green Stars that recognise role model restaurants committed to a more sustainable gastronomy, will also be presented at the ceremony.
The annual MICHELIN Guide Nordic Countries restaurant selection highlights exceptional food in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway and Iceland. The 2023 edition of the Nordic Guide contained a total of 271 restaurants, 81 of which were rated with One, Two or Three MICHELIN Stars. Five of Finland's MICHELIN-starred restaurants are located in the capital of Helsinki, with one more in the southwest coastal city of Turku and another in the southern city of Porvoo. Three restaurants in Helsinki currently hold a MICHELIN Green Star.
