This May one of the most exclusive restaurants in Helsinki, Yume, will be improved to a state of perfection. The restaurant is already considered to be a top choice for Asian flavours, and it’s about to get even better. Yume is a part of the high-end hotel group Kämp, the grande dame of hotels in Helsinki. The General Manager of Kämp, Marc Skvorc, tells us that both the hotel and restaurant will be experiencing “a subtle yet significant overhaul, where no details will be spared.” While the food will remain Asian, the aim is to mix delicacies from the different regions – making the menu Asian fusion, in short. The overhaul will also extend to the style of service, which will be less traditional, with smaller dishes that guests can share in order to
make the dining experience ”more social and international,” as Skvorc puts it. Guests at Yume will also be able to stop by solely for a drink and snack, if they wish, as the restaurant overhaul will also include a new lounge area designed for this specific purpose. Skvorc is clearly excited about the new developments. “I feel very privileged to be able to execute them,” he states. The re-vamp extends to scents and music as well, which will both be customised to fit the new concept. As they say, God is in the details. While both Yume and hotel Kämp are indeed being enhanced to a point of excellence, this is clearly done with integrity and class. There is a lack of pretentiousness which makes it all the more charming.
“I hope the new Yume will offer customers an international vibe and exciting flavours unlike any Helsinki has experienced so far,” says Skvorc. It is evident that he is very invested in the project, which is good news for diners. Because, as everyone knows, it is the projects executed with a loving touch that make for exceptional results. In other words, if you’re looking for perfection, Yume is your destination.
