Truffle Weeks at Our Restaurants 2–14 February 2026 – Winter’s Most Luxurious Moment
Do you love truffles? So do we! That’s why we’re thrilled to welcome back our annual Truffle Weeks. From 2 February onwards, Olo Collection’s restaurants will be serving French black winter truffles.
Our truffles arrive from southwest France, from the renowned Maison Pébeyre, founded in 1897. Each truffle is hand-harvested and carefully selected. Known as the black diamonds of Périgord, these truffles are celebrated for their deep umami flavour, perfect texture and intense aroma. They bring depth, elegance and irresistible character to every dish.
Each of our restaurants interprets the truffle theme in its own way: Scolare, Emo ja Brasa feature their own signature truffle dishes. In all of our restaurants – including Olo, Ego and Forza – you can also add freshly shaved truffle to any dish, just the way you like it.
This is what we’ve been waiting for! February is the perfect time to indulge yourself and your loved ones, and to experience winter’s most luxurious culinary moment. As these chef-favourite truffles are always available in limited quantities, we recommend booking your table now!

Each Chef’s Dinner is built around a special theme and hosted in one of our central Helsinki restaurants. Menus and prices are announced about two months before each event.
