Sasu Laukkonnen
ORA
Finnish chef Sasu Laukkonen opened the restaurant Chef & Sommelier in Helsinki in October 2010. The restaurant, which held a Michelin star from 2014 to 2017 was known to be one of the best in the Nordic region, and the use of local and foraged ingredients was its foundation from opening. Chef & Sommerlier was renovated for a forward-going new concept with higher goals for modern local cuisine and reopened early August 2017 with the new name Ora.
Sasu has worked in well-known restaurants all over the world, but returned to his home country to revive what had in 2005 been called ‘the worst kitchen in the world’.
As a chef, Sasu is mostly self-taught, and he draws on his front of house experience from earlier in his career to serve people in a unique and personal way.
