Noma leads the list of the new White Guide

HELSINKI. The second edition of The White Guide Nordic was launched today in Helsinki. More than 200 journalists and restaurateurs took part in the event. The new guide covers the 300 best restaurants in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and now Greenland.

This year the guide covers 54 restaurants in Finland, 56 restaurants in Norway (including Svalbard), 92 restaurants in Sweden, 85 restaurants in Denmark (including Greenland and the Faroe Islands) and 17 restaurants in Iceland. This edition also gives a sneak peek into the gastronomy of the Baltics in an appendix on 25 Estonian restaurants produced by Flavours of Estonia according to the White Guide’s testing criteria.

The texts and points in the book regarding Danish and Swedish restaurants are derived from the respective national guides with a few additions of newly opened or re-assessed restaurants. Only the 85 best restaurants in Denmark and the 92 best restaurants in Sweden have been included in the Nordic edition, but the national guides are available in their entirety (in Danish and Swedish) at the App Store.

All of the restaurants in the Nordic guide are rated and grouped by country, category and location. The restaurants in the White Guide are assessed on a scale of 100 points, according to the following: food (40 points), service (25 points), beverages (20 points) and setting/atmosphere (15 points). The food score is the most important as it determines the restaurants rating on the Top 30 list.

The White Guide Nordic is sold through established channels and distributed via partners. In addition to the printed guide,  e-book and website (whiteguide-nordic.com), you can also download the app, containing complete reviews in English as well as an  interactive map, at the App Store starting November 17th.
