“This is the sixth edition of the Nordic Guide Michelin, and once again we have expanded the selection as our inspectors discover more exciting restaurants. At the same time, we continue to follow the development of the already established kitchens,” Director of the Guide Michelin, Gwendal Poullennec, informs.
