Surprisingly good food in this hidden location in Helsinki. We were visiting Helsinki during…read moreMidsummer, and so many restaurants were closed. I was advised that Bryggeri Brewhouse might be open so got a reservation. When we arrived, I was told that the reservation represented seating inside with table service, but it was a beautiful evening so we opted to merely order from the fast casual counter and have the food delivered to us at a patio table. Our food was really good. I started with a serving of the salmon soup which had been recommended as a Helsinki specialty by our guide that day. I have nothing to compare this soup to, but it was outstanding. Great flavor, perfectly prepared salmon. The starter serving was more than enough for an entire meal, so I shared with the rest of our table. For our main courses, my wife had the sloppy joe sliders and I had the wild elk meatballs with mashed potatoes. The meatballs were wonderful, perfectly done, good flavor and matched well with the potatoes in the gravy provided. My wife found the sloppy joes to also be very tasty with a bit more kick than such an offering in the United States. The buns they were on were perfect and the entire serving very large. One other dish to comment on that was ordered at our table was the Chicken Burger. Do not get thrown off by the name burger and expect a ground chicken patty. This is a full-size chicken breast perfectly fried and with excellent condiments and sauces. So, food, 5 stars. When it came to the beer, there are only a few of the offerings available at the patio stand, so I was not happy with choices given this was a brewhouse. I learned later, after my first bland lager that I could just go to the main bar inside and get the full offering. So my second beer was excellent, the Sofia. This entire experience would have been a 5 except for a couple of faults. One was that food took a long time to arrive and came sporadically, and second is that the full complement of beers should be offered outside or the bartender there should inform patrons that they are limited, but 20 steps away they can order from the full list. If looking for a nice casual night out in Helsinki, I can highly recommend this restaurant.

I loved the chocolate breads which is delicious. It's dangerous coming to northern Europe as their breads are always to die for. The rye flour and the water is what I think. The vegetable dishes are super neat. Tartare is delicious. The fish and beef are delicious and the house made noodles super tasty. The seasoning on the dishes are very light with lots of seasonable veggies in it. Definitely not heavy and a great representation of the Scandinavian new cuisine that you often see in Norway and Sweden. Dessert are equally refreshing. Situated in city center for easy accessibility. I loved this meal and I loved Helsinki. This was my grandpa's favorite city - he visited in the 1950s after making a tour to East Germany, Czech, Latvia, Estonia and Soviet's Moscow. I am glad that I could visit here like he did over a half a century ago.

I preferred the weissbier, trading my stour and marzen with my tourmates for theirs. This is a nice comfy underground brewpub and I get the feeling that it can get a little friendly during the more "Oktoberfest" times of the year. Free wifi, comfy seating, great beers. I really enjoyed it here and it's more than clear that Helsinki has an excellent craft brew culture going on! [Review 10076 overall, 1661 of 2018.]

Acutally on Sunday they have a brunch that is not too crowded.... 17 euro a person and you get to eat various things off the buffet. It was decent, but the price is a bit steep.

Yes, I realize it's 15 euro for a burger. But it's damned good. Other than that , makara means "sausage" and they have a couple different kinds.

If you're around Kallio district, a lively, slowly up and coming hipster-ish neighborhood in…read moreHelsinki, you should stop by Tenho Restobar. This charming, warm and artsy bar and restaurant offers live music several nights a week complemented with rather tasty menu. Keen of pizza? Try simply their Margarita or go with a tasty, big-size sallad with tofu, goat cheese or smoked salmon. If you enjoy a good micro brew, Tenho has few bottled alternatives and both the red - and white wine selections are rather adequate of nature. The atmosphere in Tenho is relaxed with a lot of local artists, musicians and hipsters spending their evening hours at the venue sipping drafts or red, chatting and listening to the artists performing on the small stage. If you're in a mood for some chill yet delish grub, good mood and locals, check out Tenho in Kallio.

All the in house beer info is also easily found on the wall and the menu is simple; mostly based on their also homemade sausages. Not wanting a full meal, I went with the Poutine which has all the things I love - sausage, fries, cheese curds, and a light and slightly tart gravy. All yum, and all gone from the plate within minutes. I would think all the other menu items are equally worthy but if you just want a great beer, this place will do it too.

In the space of a previous garlic restaurant they have opened up a restaurant where they serve up simple dishes from nice ingredients. The menu is refreshingly short, all in all around 10 dishes out of which 5-6 are mains and then there are a few snack dishes and some dessert. The food I had has been very good, uncomplicated but with flavors that really fit together well. In addition to serving good food they also brew their own beer on site as well as serve other good craft beer. The beer is very nice and a lot of interesting types of beer can be sampled (served in either small (0.2l) or regular (0.4l)). Nice and friendly service adds to the appeal of this place. Orders are places at the bar so can at times be a bit busy but not really an issue. The place is also nicely designed in a mix of rustic wood and white tiles behind the bar. The improvement would be to try to reduce the noise level in the bigger room as it got rather loud (and the tables are big so people sit fairly far from each other resulting in louder and louder conversations).
