We liked this buffet that allowed us to taste several typical dishes. A budget place where to have a first contact with finnish cuisine.

This ranks as one the best restaurants I've been to in recent memory. The food was excellent, home cooked and of a great variety. There was everything from reindeer meat to flounder. The owner (Harry) is an excellent host and told us about the history and inspiration for the restaurant. It has been there for 32 years and it will... More

First time we came across the place three years ago. Since then we always go to this small cosy and homely restaurant with my friends whenever we are in Helsinki. Firstly, here you feel yourself like at home or if you visit your old friends, because the owners are extremely friendly and cordial people. The atmosphere means a lot, when... More

Great local food and experience. Don't be put off by it being a buffet as it is re-supplied very steadily (we were sitting close to the buffet!). Good selection of starters and the mushroom soup was superb. Selection of local meats and fish for mains, including reindeer of course! Very friendly staff and excellent value.

We enjoyed a nice variety of traditional home cooked cuisine last night in a comfortable, casual setting. We sat next to the window and ate by candlelight, the atmosphere seemed intimate yet lively. The buffet presentation had the delightful feel of being at a friend's house for dinner. There was a wide selection of cold appetizers from salads, fish and... More

This restaurant offers an interesting buffet with many unusual items. Not sure whether the items are real Finnish but they are interesting and tasty. Superb decor and friendly service. A bit away from the downtown (10 min by foot) but prices more reasonable too.
