Midsummer's eve dinner @ restaurant ORA

Michelin restaurant Ora (and before that restaurant "Chef & Sommelier" - different name, same place, same chef) has become over the years our "cantine" in Helsinki. We have spend a lot of time (and money) there. But the place is so cool and the food so good that coming back is a no brainer. Usually during spring/summer when the weather is warm enough, we spend some time chatting with the man (and sometimes drinking - more like sipping for Sasu, he works after all) on the pavement. This time we lasted almost 50min. and 2/3 of a bottle of white, to chat about our respective future holidays in France. That's why Sasu did bring some appetizers outside. Have you ever eaten Michelin food on the pavement? Well, at Ora's it's possible!


 Potato & fish roe

lightly smoked trout and a nice Chablis

Sasu is prepping the pheasant (midway between a galantine and a mousse)

 Plated and ready to be eaten.
(the pheasant is topped with apples)


 The beef shank is served as an "overcooked terrine" with a "beurre blanc" dressing.
Weird at first, but it works a treat.

Meadowsweet ice cream & a Buckthorn quenelle, served with pavlova & strawberry
