Eero Vottonen is regarded as one of the leading voices of contemporary haute cuisine in Finland. As the chef at Palace restaurant in Helsinki, he leads an institution: the establishment holds 2 Michelin stars and was voted the best restaurant in Finland for five years in a row. Vottonen’s style combines the sophistication of classic French cuisine with the purist clarity of the north. His compositions are characterised by precise craftsmanship, depth of flavour and unmistakably Finnish roots. Be it Arctic fish, wild mushrooms or reindeer – each product tells the story of its origin.
Eero Vottonen has long since made a name for himself on the international stage. He represented Finland multiple times at the prestigious Bocuse d’Or and has triumphed in numerous competitions – a testament to his unwavering dedication to culinary craftsmanship. In 2024, his colleagues elected him Chef of the Chefs in Finland for the fourth time.
