Sweetbread-stuffer quail in restaurant CarmaHad my very first meal in a Michelin Star-equipped restaurant.

The place: Carma on Ludviginkatu.

The occasion: bi-annual team day.

The food: a five course menu (supplemented by two additional chef’s surprises).

The highlights: quail stuffed with sweetbread (main course) and rosehip-spiked white chocolate cream (prequel to dessert).

The drinks: the wines recommended by the staff.

The oddity: many of the dishes featured plenty of foam.

The duration: three hours and change.

The verdict: Sold. And I definitely ought to look up the other star-recipients in Helsinki, this was a delicious meal.
