Aoi

Considered cooking from a shared vision

Aoi is tucked away in Helsinki’s Ullanlinna district, where it is run by friends and business partners Olli Ruotsalainen and Von Quillao. In a relaxed space with warm wood and green accents, they serve a seasonal four‑course menu that changes regularly, highlighting fresh, thoughtful ingredients with creative, contemporary flair. They actively work to minimise food waste during preparation, and seach for ways to extract flavour from trims and by-products. This includes fermenting and drying ingredients, as well as using remaining produce for staff meals whenever possible.
