I have been visiting this restaurant for several times during the last five years. The food and service have been generally very good and satisfactory, yet there has been some fluctuations. Yesterday (Tuesday 14.7.2020) we booked our table for three at 8 pm. The restaurant...was less than half full and there were two waiters. One waiter brought us drinks and some bread, which is usually a sign of some delay in the kitchen. It took a bit more than hour to get the food on the table and the family with a little child next to us needed to wait more than us. This time the food wasn´t nicely served nor had sophisticated flavours in it. My chicken was dry and there was barely no sauce at all. It was definitely not worth the money. We all got disappointed. Although I have had some fluctuations with this restaurant before, this was certainly the lowest point.More

Traditional food, good service, normal prices for Helsinki. Starters are around 10 euros, mains 20 euros and desserts 8 euros, with a large beer around 6 euros. Service was attentive enough to be friendly but not over familiar. Atmosphere was quite chilled with a 80’s/90’s...retro vibe which is quite common throughout Europe. Fish starter was fresh, flavoursome and a good size. Meatballs main course was composed of three large meatballs in a creamy pepper sauce which was served on mashed potatoes, which were over seasoned to my taste, bearing in mind the pepper in the sauce. Dessert was a standard pancake affair and the local beer was good.More

Restaurant Kannas offers a good selection of classic meat dishes and other quite traditional meals. I ordered a medium tenderloin steak in red wine sauce with potato wedges. The steak was perfectly medium and tasted great. The sauce and potato wedges were also very good....The service was friendly and fast. One of us ordered the dish without sauce, but ended up getting the sauce. However, the staff handled their mistake very well and we got the correct dish quickly. We all enjoyed the food a lot. The restaurant has a long history (founded in 1939). It used to be a popular place among sailors and harbour workers in the middle of 1900 century. The interior reflects the long history and gives this restaurant a cozy, pub-like atmosphere. I recommend this restaurant if you want to enjoy a traditional classic meat/fish dish and get a glimpse of Helsinki’s history.More

We enjoyed a family meal here. An easy walk from Radisson Seaside and we had a range of dishes, the fish plate, Kannas Pan, fish and chips and the beef in peppercorn sauce. All were completely enjoyed.

This legendary 80-year old restaurant used to be popular amongst seamen and dockworkers of the Hietalahti harbor. The food was quite average starting from the bread. The house wine was reasonably priced and excellent. The service was friendly.

My family and I had a good time there, the food, which was local, was tasty and affordable for Helsinki. I cannot recommend the herring enough. Go there if you have a chance!

Nice bar, restaurant. Mainly locals with a few travelers. Good local beers. Excellent local foods. Very nostalgic for a Scandinavian descent midwest american, the best of holiday foods.
