Helsinki eatery Luomo has been granted one of the coveted stars in the latest issue of the Guide Michelin Main Cities of Europe, which hit shelves on Tuesday.

Chez Dominique was allowed to keep its two stars, with Demo, Carma and Postres remaining single-star restaurants.

The French company awards one to three stars to restaurants of exceptional quality. One star denotes a very good restaurant in its category, whereas an establishment awarded two stars has cuisine of such merit that it is worth a detour and an establishment with three stars is deemed worth a journey on its own right.

Michelin has never awarded the full three stars to a Finnish restaurant.

All the Finnish Michelin-starred restaurants are located in Helsinki.
