Description: RESTAURANT MURU Muru is located in the heart of Helsinki at the corner of Fredrikinkatu and Lönnrotinkatu. Muru’s idea is to offer simple dishes made from the best and most fresh ingredients available that’s why our menu varies daily. Muru is well known for its relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Customer satisfaction is one of our top priorities, and we believe that is the secret behind our large and loyal customer base. Owners Samuil Angelov, Henri Alen and Timo Linnamäki are all long-term professionals who founded Muru in 2010. Since then, Muru has established itself amongst the very best restaurants in Finland. In 2012, Muru was chosen as the restaurant of the year in Finland by the Finnish Gastronomic society.

Muru is a casually elegant restaurant with great food and service. We chose the four course menu. It was superb. The star of the menu was reindeer filet which was cooked perfectly. A great evening is assured. We highly recommend it.

There is a very limited menu, but it changes constantly and stays fresh and seasonal. The food is well presented, and the quality is excellent. In particular the fish was exquisitely cooked -- not an easy feat. The wine list was well chosen. The restaurant is quite small, limited seating capacity, closed several days a week, and it is imperative to book in advance or one simply would not find space.

Muru has both a wine bar and restaurant in close but separate locations. We visited the restaurant, which offers a superb tasting menu with optional matched wines. No menu choice (other than the number of courses) but every dish was excellent. The menu of day is written on a chalkboard in Finnish, but the serving staff explain everything in English. The 5-course menu with matched wines came to €260 for two.

The best wine bar in town! Muru wine bar, near the restaurant! We often come here with my friend for a class of wine or champage. They also sell super delicious risotto, charcuterie & other tapas food. Love it! Cozy athmosphere.

Went for dinner with our team and had a three course meal with a bottle of wine. It was an amazing experience as the food is great and the ambiance of the place is so relaxing.
