Makes an omnivore jealous

The vegan 6-course menu on Valentine's Day was almost perfection. Balanced flavors with first fresh and easy mouthwatering notes (pickled beets, roasted pumpkin), then earthy, umami depth (XO sauce, fried waffle, beet tartar, lionsmane and roasted sunchokes), and ending with a sweet and acidic dessert (meringue, tonkabean, cherries and rasberries). My omnivore friend had the normal menu and was admitting that my vegan one was much better.

You can hear and taste the care and creativity they put into the vegan dishes. Same with the non-alcholic drinks. I had a mixed drink package (wine & mocktails) and must say that I would go with the non-alcholic completely next time. They make the drinks in the house and they were very so suprising while the wines felt a bit boring in comparison. Weird to be saying this but I would seriously take their savory blackcurrant-beet-tar drink over a nice red wine anyway now.

Pros: Creativity in the vegan menu, Emphasis on sustainability and zero-waste, Friendly customer service

No complaints

The vegan options were ok, rather forgettable. Wine pairings rather uninspiring (I don't remember if I asked for vegan wines). An acceptable option if you are in a group of meat eaters who want an expensive restaurant, and you've already tried the usual ones in Helsinki.

Hip but Hyped

We did the vegan 4 course menu on a weekday evening. It somehow took 2.5 hours and we weren’t the only ones who noticed the slow service.

It started out with a cream topped with radish that was decent but too large of a dish for something that should have been a palate cleanser. Next course was a grilled Romaine salad. Good but nothing revelational. Main course was grilled lions main mushroom and charred turnip which was the star. Dessert was a citrus ice cream which was good but the flambéed buckwheat crepe was overcooked and extremely bitter.

Not sure I would recommend this place. Our hotel concierge also said he’s been 3-4 times, not out of his own volition, and said it’s definitely more hyped than it should be.

Amazing menu!

I ate the four course vegan menu and it was one of the best meals I have ever had. Everything was well thought out and every plate had amazing flavours. Definitely would go back in a heartbeat!

Nice atmosphere with comfortable tables

Nolla has a nice atmosphere and is often comfortably full with other diners - not too crowded but never empty. This was my second visit and I can still recommend this place to fellow vegans. Even if the menu is small, there is a well thought out vegan option in every category. The mushroom nuggets were a bit of a let down in comparison to when I last tried them, they were a bit too chewy and the crust burnt too heavily for my liking. But the homemade bread served with herb oil (brought when asked a replacement for the butter), the beetroot main course and the marshmallow icecream dessert were all really tasty so overall a nice and cohesive menu for vegans too. And the wooden tables are elegant with their comfortable rounded edges😄
