Restaurants cuisine d'Europe Helsinki

At the end of the Bulevardi, this very good restaurant of typical Finnish dishes, held by a family of karelians refugees, after the annexation by the USSR of part of the region, is an indispensable address. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The garden evokes traditional interiors of the Karelians fishing boats on the island of Uuras.

As soon as you walk through the front door, Gunnar Finne's former studio gives you a touch of elegance and refinement, just like the dishes served in this charming restaurant. On the white walls, wooden sculptures and an old fireplace make you want to lounge by the fire. On the plates, inventive and delicate local cuisine: salmon cake with fresh spinach, Baltic herring and seasonal vegetables. If you're lucky, your taste buds will go wild for the licorice crème brûlée! An excellent address.

This cosy restaurant offers delicious Finnish cuisine. In addition to specialities that remain throughout the year, the chef also offers you, depending on the season, an original and inventive cuisine rooted in tradition. The lunch menu varies every week (the menu is detailed on their website). The cosy and designer setting is very pleasant for a dinner with friends or for a romantic dinner. The good wine list (especially the special champagne evening menu) and the heated terrace are a plus. An excellent address!

A veritable institution, this pavilion with large bay windows has been located on the Esplanade since 1867, near the statue of Havis Amanda. In winter, when the lights shine on the snow-covered promenade, it's a real Christmas tale. The summer terrace always draws crowds. You can simply enjoy coffee and enjoy a pastry and a hot drink, or let yourself be tempted by the restaurant. On the plate side, it's excellent but the price is accordingly... Nice wine list that goes with it all.

With its 1930s functionalist decor, the Maxill is a trendy address where you can spend the day drinking coffee and leafing through stacks of design magazines. Salads, fresh fish and home cooking at lunchtime. Brasserie chic in the evening, with white tablecloths and impeccable service. At dinnertime, the stylish clientele flock to one of Helsinki's most popular café-restaurants.The menu changes 4 times a year - each season, but we recommend the reindeer fillet with red onion compote!

Trendy place, Art Nouveau interior, popular terrace in summer and good Finnish cuisine. Intellos, actors, painters and other artists have been frequenting the place for decades. See the impressive collection of paintings on the walls. If the decor is bewitching, there's no disappointment on the plate. For each dish, there's a wine recommendation to bring out the best of all the flavors. On the menu, an excellent salmon soup, whisky-flavored beef flambé with rösti (potato pancakes) and crème brûlée... A real treat.

Quality local cuisine, a good choice of specialities, such as cabbage stuffed with mushrooms or the Kaarna sandwich (reminiscent of its Danish cousin smørrebrød), and above all, a superb view of Mannerheimintie from the room on the first floor. Nice choice of fish and local beers. Everything is good and very nicely presented, in a decor that is both sober (wooden tables, light lighting) and colourful. The plus: a few choices of vegetarian, gluten-free, lactose-free cuisine... In short, everyone will find their account here!

One of the most gourmet and renowned restaurants in the Finnish capital, proud of its Michelin star obtained in 2011. On the plates, a refined style highlighting fresh, local products that vary with the seasons, such as hiramasa, the Japanese name for amberjack, and its wasabi, langoustine accompanied by butternut, or duck with raspberries... Before discovering the dessert menu, superb. The menu changes with each season and may be accompanied by the sommelier's recommendations for the wine. Expensive, but divine.

We fell in love with this high quality address. In a bohemian and intimate setting, the simple but original cuisine combines European recipes (Russian pelmeni with chanterelles in beetroot broth, French-style artichokes, black pudding with apples, mussels...) with perfectly selected natural and organic wines. The service is competent and pleasant. Don't skip the bread and butter, they're to die for. This discreet and unobtrusive sign is ideal for taking your new conquest along as well as for dinner with friends.

Vinkkeli, which opened in 2016, is so successful that you will not be able to have lunch or dinner there without booking your table. In a setting of modern and refined elegance, a clientele of business people and chic retirees come to taste this exquisite Finnish-inspired cuisine. The creamy soup with smoked celery is a success, the roast beef is tender and perfectly matched with a chickpea ratatouille with oriental flavours. The Finno-French-inspired desserts are also impeccable and the service is of the highest standard, as it should be.

Richard McCormick is one of the chefs who make up Helsinki's contemporary gastronomic scene. While the hype surrounding The Cock's reputation always attracts a packed crowd, on the plate, the results often live up to expectations, with products that are fresh and combinations that are sometimes original. The service is charming, which helps us forget the ambient hubbub. You can also simply sit at the bar and enjoy a cocktail! Warning: this is a divisive address, which you can love as much as hate.

Just before the bridge leading to the Suomenlinna Museum, there's a path leading to the yacht harbour. Directly opposite is the wonderful Valimo café, a haven of peace where you can feel at home: a large room with a log fire, sofas for children and friendly service. Depending on the season, the menu includes chanterelle pasta, fish, cakes and live music. It's easy to see why local families flock here as much as visiting tourists!

Along an illuminated passageway, as if at the foot of a tower, lies an intimate, almost minimalist address that's hard to believe is a restaurant. And yet, what a wonderful address this Nokka restaurant is, where products come in ultra-short circuits and dishes come very close to haute gastronomy! Menus change regularly, but every dish delivers on the promise of freshness and delicacy, whether it's reindeer, fish, sunflower seeds or crab stew. In short, a marvel!

L'appartement n° 14 is the story of two friends, Johanna and Karin, who decided in 2019 to open an accommodation that would be, for all guests, a second home, a place where you come to have a good time and feel good! It's a bright, comfortable space where you come to eat and drink, with a menu of 3, 5 or 7 different dishes to choose from. Depending on your mood, you can order salmon mousse, fennel salami, red fruit jam, kale or scrambled eggs. A very, very pleasant address!

Simple, tasty cuisine that honors Finland's culinary heritage through dishes executed without false notes: that's the promise of a meal at Lehtovaara. Whether it's lunch, with salmon, perch and duck in sauce, or dinner, with the gourmet menu (and venison tartare to die for), you're guaranteed to have a great time, rounded off by tempting desserts such as the parfait with caramel sauce or the crème brûlée with red fruits!
