Yes, it must be good because it has earned two Michelin Stars. And it is, but... We had a seven-course dinner. Portions are tiny but we had several 'greetings' from the kitchen. So, the total amount of portions was thirteen plus tasty something for bread. It was a very good deal because we had it as 'pay one, have two'.... More

C D continues to be the one and only Two Michelin Star restaurant in Helsinki. And to make justice, it requires much more ambition to get and keep the two stars in Finland compared to any two stars in France. You better add at least half or whole star to outside France restaurants to make any comparisions. Anyway, finally the... More

So the food is clearly Michelin star food. Hence, don't go there too hungry. Two reasons - the portions are small and if you're too hungry you can't appreciate them enough. The cooking techniques are something I don't understand (how do you make a steak perfectly and evenly pink inside with a 1 mm browned crust????). The down sides then.... More

We went for a five couse menue with wine. Chez Dominique is an elegant and stylish resturant. Excellent food and good service. Very informative and pleasant sommelier. Expensive though.

This January I visited Chez Dominique for the second time and once again I was disappointed with the place. Food was quite alright, but the general taste of all the dishes was too sweet for my taste. A pleasant surprise was how the chef was able to mix very interesting ingredients together and come up with very special dishes. Staff... More

We had Weekend in Helsinki in the middle of January. After a Musical in the Swedish theater in the afternoon we got an excellent evening at Chez Dominique. the nine course menu with the wine package was an excellent choice. There was a good balance between the different courses both in taste, preparation and presentation. There were some interesting choices... More
