Nolla

Helsinki, Finland

Built on the pillars of environmental and social responsibility, transparency, and community, a trio of chef-owners – Luka Balac from Serbia, Albert Franch Sunyer from Spain and Carlos Henriques from Portugal – met at Helsinki’s Chez Dominique and set about Nolla in the city centre in 2017. From cutting out single-use plastics to sourcing domestic microbrewery beers, every aspect of the menu is guided by a commitment to minimizing impact. Also impressive is the a la carte and short tasting menus showcasing nose-to-tail Finnish ingredients, fish and veg especially; only wine is sourced from abroad. The energy among front of house is friendly, ensuring everyone feels welcome in the homey dining area. Anything left over goes straight into a composter, though we can’t imagine anyone leaving a scrape of cooking this good behind on the plate.
