Kaikukatu 4 B, 00530 Helsinki, Finland Get directions

"You’d be hard pushed to find a restaurant with a greater focus on wine than Muru. This cosy little bistro is home to quirky touches such as a wine bottle chandelier, a bar made from old wine boxes and a raised ‘cellar’ – and that’s not to mention the nearby wine bar they run. Simple, tasty dishes are on-hand to accompany the excellent wine list, and the sommelier’s pairing suggestions are spot-on." - Michelin Inspector


"This cozy bistro in the heart of Helsinki is ideal for a relaxed dinner. Muru’s impressive wine list is kept in check by sommeliers Samuil Angelov and Taneli Lehtonen — known as two of the best sommeliers in Finland. On the daily-changing menu (52 euros) you might find classic dishes like salmon tartar, charcuterie, or bouillabaisse. Muru’s risotto of the day is widely hailed as the best in town.
