Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We both had the classic Manala menu which had also a discount to the price due to the on-going Lux light week here on Helsinki. They were out of reindeer but the beef balanced well also in the main. Creamy salmon soup was delicious and warming, and the dessert pannacotta was good and not too sweet. We both hoped for more strawberries but understood they are hard to come by in January in Finland! :D All-in-all, a really good dinner and I could recommend this place for a tourist visiting Finland and looking for some typical Finnish cuisine in Helsinki. There's also pizza on the menu which are tasty, if you or someone in your party isn't keen on trying Rudolf the red nosed reindeer!

We walked around the corner from the National Museum and found this wonderful restaurant! We didn't need a reservation, we were seated and given ice water right away. The server took our order quickly and invited to go to a salad bar where there were several salad selections and breads with butter.
I was brave and ordered reindeer so that I could try it at least once in Finland. It was tender and delicious, served on real mashed potatoes with lingon berries. My meal was excellent! It was also very affordable - about 17 Euro.

This legendary Helsinki restaurant is located in the beautiful Ostrobotnia building from 1912.
Besides the traditional dishes like salmon soup, you can order also burgers and pizzas.
The pizzas were huge and delicious.
The service was very friendly.

Unfortunately the worst meal I’ve ever had in the restaurant. I chose carp with summerpotatoes. There were 4 pale potatoes (not freshly cooked, hot) and a small bite of fish which was a little bit raw. My husband took a pizza, it was ok. The personnel was kind but they didn’t ask anything about the food even though I couldn’t eat mine.

Visited this restaurant with some friends before x-mas. Local seems to be a bit historical, like the staff: unfriendly and way too slow moving, reminds me from my visits to old GDR-restaurants in late 80s. Their "marble fillet" from the menu appeared to be a shoe sole, price + 30 euros. Take a walk to the downtown nearby, where you get value for your money.

Recommended by a local, this restaurant is about a 10-minute walk from Helsinki's central station. Cozy and warm interior, friendly staff, and really tasty food (we had the pan-fried liver and reindeer, both served with mashed potatoes and lingonberries). Reasonably priced.

We went to Manala for their advertised after-work jazz. After spending some time, money, and wine on their terrace, the staff came to ask us to move to another table because we had three chairs on their narrow terrace at one of the two-person tables.
Instead of doing this well, everything was communicated poorly, and we were practically thrown out of our table. The waitress didn’t provide any help, and we had to carry our forks, knives, wine cooler, and other stuff while the angry waitress was watching.
As a side note, no water was served at the tables. This is a place for drinking or pensioners who can’t drink anymore.
I used to like this place 20 years ago (with some limitations), but this is the reality today.

Visited here on Friday 8th March to meet up with friends who live in the city. Great service from a lovely waitress. I ordered the scampi (prawns to me) and they were some of the most delicious, juiciest prawns I have ever had! A good size portion too. Very glad my friends chose this place, it was excellent.

Pizza was huge and very tasty. Traditional "Finnish" style with a lot of Aurajuusto and pineapple. Service was quick and friendly. Beer was beer and there was a lot to choose from.

Food was OK, but the service was horrible. Waiters didn't even say hello and one of them burned my hands while giving me my plate. Didn't even say sorry, said it was my fault. Never ever going there again.

I had an occasion to have several lunches at a row. Nice every time, and fast if in hurry. Popular during lunch time.
