Taste of Helsinki
Taste of Helsinki, the largest gourmet food and wine festival in Finland, will once again take over Kansalaistorin Puisto, Töölönlahti, in the city center (map) from June 13 through 16, 2013.
The menus are being created by 12 of what are considered the best restaurants in Finland: Muru, Demo, Juuri, Aito, Bistro O mat, C, Smör and Toscanini (all of which participated last year) plus newcomers Olo, Luomo, Ask and Gaijin.
The menus that are being created especially for the event are inspired by organic and local food, as well as by domestic wild food. Also, the cutlery will be compostable, and each visitor will receive only one glass for wine tasting.
In addition to the twelve menus, the event features a full program — from chef demonstrations to food and wine tasting and live music.
The four-day festival was held in Helsinki for the first time last year, Road Trips Foodies, and was the first “Taste Of” event in the Nordic region.

Any Karelian pies available?
Check with the organizers, but I would imagine that regional cuisine is represented at Taste of Helsinki!
