The name of the restaurant gives the impression of the fish restaurant. There are more meat to choose than fish. On the other hand there is lot of seafood to choose. I orderde Fish of the season. The pikepearch with some vegetables was a huge disppointment. It was served just few minutes after the order, which means that it was... More

Nice location, especially in the summer, but the food is very average and overpriced. Tried the much recommended bouillabaisse, which was ok but not something I would come back for. The service was good and the place itself is a bit old fashioned but cozy. I would come back to have a glass of wine on the terrace but pay... More

It was not my first visit. I like this place - on the shore with big windows... You should taste a soup with salmon and cream... So yammy!!! And trout as a second dish.. or local deer... you couldn`t be indifferent! Prices is good enough(for Finland, of course), so you`ll spend ~200-250 euro for 4 people with wine. Good place.... More

We had a very good dinner at this restaurant. We liked the most BouillabaiIsse ( it's big, take as a starter) and grilled reindeer fillet (really the best I've ever eaten)

This place is a legend. Amazing food in a good price range. Location by the sea is nice. God with a shrimp or muttons, they are just amazing. This place has also sheepmil icecream, test it, it is delicious. Please itself is a litlle worn out, but it is cozy somehow.

For 91 euro we had two beers, half a portion of mussels, a huge platter of shrimps from Canada, grilled salmon and grilled sea bass from Chile. The food was great. The place itself has two rooms - pick up the old one with distinct old-time atmosphere. The decor is simple and the clientele is extremely varying. We were unlucky... More

Ruoholahti (Grass Bay in English) is an area of Helsinki that grew up around the harbor shipyards and industrial manufacturing over the last 100 years. The ship yards and manufacturing are gone but there still remains many of the old brick warehouse and factory buildings, that have been renovated into offices and restaurants. One such building, along the water front... More

Open Sundays when most restaurants in Heksinki are closed. Fine cooking. varied menu. We enjoyed our smoked mussels and shell fish soup for starters. Great grilled whitefish and octopus for my main dish. Five beers on tap. Many wines by the glass. A pleasant alternative to the over-priced small portion new cruisine restaurants. Waterfront view.

Excellent seafood dishes, along with a very nice wine and beer selection! By far the best bouillabaisse I've ever tasted!!!! Nice, cozy, relaxed atmosphere, along with a lovely seaside view. --For the area, I felt the price was very reasonable.
