The best bistros and brasseries Finland

Why come to Carelia? Wine, wine and more wine. One of the best wineries in Helsinki where all the bottles are carefully selected and imported directly from their countries of origin, and surely the best prices. On top of that, very good food and top quality Finnish ingredients. All this in a former pharmacy whose name the restaurant has kept, the counters and the woods that give it a warm atmosphere. Right in front of the Opera House, a restaurant that we would be wrong not to discover.

People come to this restaurant above all to experience a real Finnish meal - brasserie atmosphere, sometimes noisy, guaranteed! -in this place that still retains a part of nostalgia from his birth in 1934. The seahorse, emblem of the house, is of all the decorations. On the plates are traditional dishes from southern Finland, including Baltic herring plate, vorschmack and kateenkorvaa (sweetbreads). It even seems that Pablo Neruda, Jean-Paul Sartre and Dizzie Gillepsie once rubbed shoulders with him, so...

Refined cuisine and excellent value for money in a modern and warm atmosphere have made this restaurant a popular address for locals. The team is very smiling and will know how to advise you. Defining itself as a little piece of France in the heart of Helsinki, the Pastis offers French specialties cooked with fresh seasonal produce and Finnish sauce that will awaken your palate. Reservation recommended in the evening. Possibility of brunch on Saturday morning with a special menu. Nice wine list.
