Amazing view, excellent food and service. Definitely something different and unique. Well worth a visit. Lunch is buffet, but really good one.

This is one of the more interesting tall buildings in the Helsinki area: a water tower on a hill, looking like a huge three-legged UFO, rising up to 76 meters. One can see the surrounding western suburbs of Helsinki (which mostly look like forest), the...sea, and dozens of islands in the Gulf of Finland. Very nice in summer and in good weather. The restaurant focuses on buffet lunches (and you can book the whole place for your event or function for the evening.) The buffet seems to stay roughly the same day to day and year to year. There is a selection of appetizers (all cold): several types of fish and seafood, salads, roast beef, roast duck, breads. This is followed by mains, of which there are only two: beef sirloin in red wine sauce, and oven-baked salmon with steamed veggies and oven-baked creamy sliced potatoes on the side. And finally there are desserts: two types of ice cream, cakes, fruit, mousse chocolat, some other pastry. All the food was good and relatively well made. The only thing to complain was that nothing was really outstanding. If you have taken the cruise ships that shuttle between Helsinki and Stockholm, and have taken the dinner buffet there, this is roughly the same thing (but with a far more narrow selection of dishes.) There is nothing wrong with this, and if you are after the setting with great views over Espoo, you might be quite happy with your experience. But I would not come here for the food only! If you are not interested in the views, you could go to any of a number of higher-end restaurants in the center of Helsinki and get much more exciting food for the same amount of money. So I don't think this restaurant has many repeat customers. I came here for a family event, and also the rest of the parties seemed to be there for some special occasion (weddings is my guess). Outside the summer vacation period there might be some business types having lunch with their clients. The place was only half full on a beautiful July afternoon. I last visited in 1994 or 1995. And might visit again in the 2030ies.More

Took advantage of the ”children eat for free with adults” campaign and everyone left with a smile on their face. The starter buffet table is insanely good! Especially the seafood side is not to be missed. For the main course salmon or a steak was...offered today, both disappointing afyer the starters. Ending on a high note, the desert buffet is just fantastic. Views are excellent as expected, but with clear skies only.More

Delicious buffet in the height! A superb panorama restaurant with lovely food, friendly staff and a breathtaking view. Nice terrace. Must be an excellent place to stay for open air lunch in the summer!

Excellent fish and meat buffet. I enjoyed the fish very much (the salmon was delicious), good red and white wine. Quality service. To go up you can choose between the elevator or the stairs (over 200 steps). The view during the day must be super.

Great view at the same time when you eat ” food table”,in which is btw a huge variation of fish, meat and vegetables and also after dinner you can choose coffee /Tea and cakes, icecream, cheese...50€ per person. The place is ex water tower and...the restaurant is at the top, where you can see the sea and even to Tallin if the weather is clear. You can go outside to walk aroundMore

Not worth the price. The entree course is ok, the dessert is ok - nothing made really there I imagine. But the main course variety is just ridiculous, for a "fine" restaurant. Potatoes, beef, fish, vegetables. Really low cost offering. If you get a sunny/warm...day you can enjoy the view from the tower. Which we didn't, it was rainy and cold. Not the restaurant's fault of course. But since they ask you to leave all your warm clothes downstairs there's no way you can't even enjoy 5 minutes outside in the terrace, so you leave the place with even a more unpleasant feeling. They could at least have thought of that. So not worth the price, you'll eat better or at least the same in a "normal" restaurant a la carte usally for less than half the price for sure.More

The food is buffet style and extremely high quality. I was fortunate to have a Finnish speaker with me because he could translate the labeled items for me! I don't think I could have picked anything bad, regardless! Ambience is quiet and the view is...fabulous, of course (you're on top of a water tower!) There is an outer terrace area where one can go to take photos, but it was bitterly cold the day we were there, so I didn't make it to that point.More

I have never had such appouling and outright rude service as we experienced today by my entire family by a menber of staff called Mr Jouni Puustelli who insisted on on 1 minute past 17:00 that you cannot have anything else we are closed (to...keep it short an civil).More

Sorry to say but When we entered the restaurant no one was interested in us, finally after we asked, someone was kind enough to show os our table No service, all the waiters had something to do, to run around Finally, after 7-8 minutes where...lucky to get one waiter to order the drinks. They came fast and taste was good (Finnish glög), but after that we where not asked a single time what we would like to drink Lucky it was a buffet, so we did get the x-mas buffet, which was ok, except the meet (cold meet, not even ok) Even here no one did care how the buffet did look like. In my opinion you should look after the setting... Any way, I must say, we all where disappointed Hoping next year the service will be on the same levels as beforeMore

Located on the top of Haukilahti water tower you are sure to have a view! If you wish to have a sea view, remember to mention it when booking. In any case you will have a nice view over Espoo and it is possible to...walk around the top of the tower outside! The food is good with plenty of choice. Stables include Finnish traditional cuisine, salmon and herring in different forms, traditional meats, cold cuts and salads, etc. A couple of warm dishes to choose from and finally a traditional dessert table. A bit pricy but a very nice overall experienceMore

Since it is an old water tower the view towards sea is spectacular - especially on a clear sky. Food itself consist of rich buffet and especially sea food is really good. Main course is a bit boring but quite tasty. Dessert buffet is also...with many options. Price is quite high for a lunch, but for business purposes place ir very recommendableMore
