I don’t remember exactly what we ate (writing this a couple of months after our visit), but it was all very good and obviously made with care. We loved the extensive use of vegetables in the tasting menu.

Overall a very nice evening and I don’t hesitate to recommend Spis. Helsinki has plenty of nice restaurants, but only some of them leave you with the desire to return. Spis is one of those. I would eat here every week if I could afford it 😊

This was my second dinner @spis, six years after my first visit at the restaurant, and it was again an exceptional experience.
Great atmosphere, a true sense for hospitality, perfectly matching wines but above all a dozen of short trips (i.e. courses) through regional Scandinavian ingredients and real kitchen magic. Will definitely come back, when next time in HEL.

Small gourmet restaurant in a quiet backstreet in central Helsinki. With less than 20 seats, it’s a very personal place serving modern Nordic cuisine in one set 12 course menu. Great experience all around at a reasonable price for the quality you get, highly recommended! Count on at least 2.5 h to enjoy it at the right pace.

Eight dishes ++, four matching wise, three different bread, lots of wonderful tastes. Food excellent presented, very good service. I would like to come back.

Great place. We came with our four year old (gulp!) and it was accomodating and friendly. She had an adapted version of the full menu (but with all 3 dessert courses) for a fair low price, and there was some chat amongst the tables present as well.

The food itself is well thought and seasonal. Being May we had quite a few preserves and salted / cured foods. Definitely the best radish I've ever tasted. Deer tartar with just a few lingonberries was great. Rhubarb and berries featured profusely across dishes, giving hints of tang and freshness. Salt cod was delicate and puffy and the different sauces and broths were rich. Different shoots, roots and flowers were interesting and not overdone. Oh, the breads served with the food were remarkable too.

I saw a negative review saying that the food was average. Definitely nothing on the menu seemed average to me or if so, I'd love to know where the diner goes, I'd book there next! 🤣

Cheap it isn't, though, but the food seems fairly priced for the ingredients and effort that goes into it.
