We had an outstanding meal in a superb atmosphere. Antero our waiter and the Som was attentive and friendly .The other service team were charming and friendly also.We chose the four course fixed menu with wines but were able to substitute a cheese plate (with wine ) for creme brûlée The food was of an outstanding level with some Finnish tweaks .
Definitely not to be missed and we will certainly return.
Thank you all front of house and in the kitchen

Went for business lunch in June 2024. All the dishes were beautifully presented and everything was top notch. The waiter was excellent and there was a nice lunchtime buzz. Have also been here before for dinner with friends. Go here for your important business lunch or dinner - you could do a lot worse.

My husband and I wanted a quiet out-of-the-way place with authenticity while we were visiting Helsinki away from the tourists and crowds our hotel concierge directed us to this former antique store. Location turned into a corner neighborhood restaurant. Not only is it lovely and decor and environment, but also warm and inviting. The staff could not have been friendlier and more knowledgeable about foods and wine pairing. Everything was fresh, delicious and served in the right proportions. Well paced without feeling rushed or slow we felt we were family. Highly recommend!

This restaurant was near our hotel and highly recommended. We were met at the door and from that moment on we felt like we were part of the family. Tonight there was a limited menu as well as a 4 course chef menu. We chose to go ala cart and the fish and beef we had were fantastic. Also wines chosen for us were delicious. We will be back next time we are in Helsinki!
