Not to be confused with Kuu. If you want to find a simple and authentic cuisine like you would find in a Finnish grandmother's home, KuuKuu is the place for you.

You can also come here to enjoy a drink at the bar side and KuuKuu offers a sunny terrace in summer. It is recommended to book for weekends when the evenings become more lively.

Several levels in the establishment: restaurant (with more restricted hours, usually until 10pm), bar and nightclub open from Wednesday to Saturday. It is one of the must-see places in the Finnish capital and perhaps one of the trendiest places in Helsinki. Adapt your budget accordingly... On the restaurant side, there are a few salads, a few burgers including a vegetarian choice and dishes such as a salmon steak cooked Asian-style and accompanied by noddles. Delicious! The plus: beautiful terrace in summer.

Beautifully decorated, the address offers typical Finnish dishes at lunchtime at cheap prices. A choice of various starters, a selection of pizzas but also more ready-made dishes such as chicken marinated in herbs and its boletus risotto... To digest, why not try the adjoining discotheque? You can come back for dessert, the restaurant is open late at night. Often, theme evenings are organized there. A must-see address in Helsinki with a pleasant terrace during the summer.

Just after visiting the Place du Sénat, customers flock to this restaurant, which is much more unusual than you might think. In fact, the authentic decor of low vaulted ceilings and rough-hewn wooden tables is a real change of scenery! The waiters, dressed in traditional costumes, are almost like characters straight out of Finnish lakes and cottages. The menu features fish from the lakes and ingredients from the Finnish forest. In summer, the indoor terrace is open to the delight of tourists.

At the foot of the Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral, on the quays of the Katajanokka peninsula, Nokka is today a must, one of the best tables in Helsinki. The brick and old warehouse atmosphere combines wonderfully with the quality of the food. On the menu, chanterelles as a starter, beetroot combined with garlic cream and blinis, crab or artichokes in dishes, before discovering reindeer meat or grilled fish... Finish with Finnish cheese or white chocolate cake... Delicious!

Located on the ^8th floor, it's the place to go for fine dining, architecture and a superb view of the city. Alvar Aalto designed the plans in 1937, and the lamps and chairs are original. Mannerheim also had his table here. That's all there is to it... Very classy and impeccable service. The menu includes a crab salad with velouté, or a salad of crudités with winter truffles and cheese... Before indulging in a risotto or one of the excellent meats on offer, always very well accompanied. Everything is perfect.

A Russian restaurant with a good reputation. Behind the heavy bronze door, the decor of several private rooms recreates the atmosphere of the Tsarist era, to the nostalgic sounds of the balalaika.

A restaurant that has stood the test of time and found its place in the local culinary landscape, without suffering from contemporary trends.

In the popular Kallio district, Juttutupa is a simple, original restaurant, more than a hundred years old, with unbeatable prices, where you can also simply enjoy a beer while listening to jazz concerts. The pizzas are huge and excellent. Housed in a tall grey stone building called "Graniittilinna", this restaurant has the distinction of having welcomed the young wolves of the Russian Revolution in exile in Helsinki... Lenin had his table there, which can still be seen today, nicknamed "the table of the revolution"!

A Danish sandwich shop in Helsinki, founded in the 1960s and still going strong today, is the story of Tanskalainen Voileipä. In this tiny stall (with two chairs, a cash register and a counter for placing orders), you'll be delighted by the twenty or so different offerings. (Danish) classics with remoulade, roast, shrimp: the choice is yours. And don't be fooled by the apparent simplicity of the dish: it's nourishing. Very nourishing. In short, an address to treasure!
