We started slow bc our friends were running late - got delicious cocktail (aquafaba) and wine and an AMAZING app - with tahini "cream" and cloudberry jam and they also gave us GF bread in addition to the tandoori bread on request. That dip was SO GOOD. When friends arrived we enjoyed more drinks and every dish was outstanding. We had an amazing meal and all good w drinks and food we spent about 50 each which was reasonable for the quality and awesome flavors. Super experience and centrally located!

Entering this 'new' world with a totally open mind. Lovely restaurant with unusual décor, very imaginative. Very friendly, attentive, service by, I assume, the owner. Extremely interesting menu but where do I start. We love dips as a starter. Checking, a wonderful assortment with bread. Asparagus, bayleaf hollandaise, peas, rhubarb vinaigrette with kelp caviar to follow for me. Wine, a nice selection at reasonable pricing. When the dips arrived there was a so much and delicious. I now looked forward to my main course and, when it arrived, as there is never a rush in this restaurant which gave sufficient time between courses to enjoy. Well, to my surprise, I fully enjoyed every course served to me. It won't change my outlook on my dietary preferences but it gave me a different view on a vegetarian menu. Would I go again, most certainly.

Apparently it's totally Vegan - not usually something we search out as we love asserting dominance at the top of the food chain but we found all we needed and it was very unpretentious. Lots of fresh options including juices, yogurts (or something like it), pastries and sweets a plenty. The little guys had hit chocolates and my best half and I had some lovely white and green teas. The art atop the ho-chos was fabulous and our teas were steeped just right! The bathrooms are quaint but worked when all three little dudes needed to pee and the place had easy access for a stroller. The baristas were super chill and the place just had a wonderful vibe overall! Absolutely a spot you should check out!

Really great vegetarian place to eat in Helsinki. Just a few streets over from the outdoor seaside…read moreopen market. This eatery prepares a few selections daily, so the menu is always changing (the way it should be), and left up to the whims of the owners and cooks. Walk in, get in line, pay attention to the ordering process. The staff does speak English but most guests appear to be locals on their lunch breaks. We sat at a table that had a few open seats which gave us the opportunity to chat with the locals a little bit. We opted for the soup and salad, and the portions were very generous. The soup was a summer soup with lots of cauliflower and dill - Delicious! It is important to note that all the foods we ate were whole foods (not processed), with lots of flavor. A little bit goes a long way to quenching your hunger. Being someone who usually has no problem clearing a plate it was a struggle to make my way to the bottom of the soup bowl despite how delicious it was. You won't be hungry for a long while after eating either. The eatery is on the small side, so if you see a line outside you may not be able to find a place to sit. Don't let that stop you from trying this place - It seemed like they were set up for take-out, and there are plenty of parks nearby to have a picnic. We really enjoyed our meal here from a number of different perspectives. Staff was warm and friendly despite a modest language barrier and us not knowing the ordering format. The locals that we shared our table with had been equally warm and friendly. The food speaks for itself. Five stars on all accounts. It is places like this that serve to remind us what our own hometown is lacking. There is a good chance I would eat here every day if I could.

The space is small and cozy- it's got that mom n' pop feel. I got the tofu burger on dark bread and the Belvoir ginger beer. The burger was quite messy to eat, but over all good. I wish there was a little less of the generic sweet chili sauce- it's a great sandwich, but the sauce could be a little more creative. I really loved that it was on dark rye bread. The ginger beer was fantastic and oh-so-refreshing with that ginger bite. I'll definitely keep Soi Soi in mind for the future! It's a great option for vegetarians. Very curious about the sweet potato fries!!!!

The place is tiny (and situated on the same street a stone's throw away from another great vegan fastfood place Just Vege), about 10-15 seats and the greasy smell is heavy indoors.

I loved the generous portion of sweetpotato fries, but I can easily see their rather sweet flavour could be a bit overwhelming for some. They should offer regular fries too. Apart from all the mouthwatering vegan and vegetarian dishes on the menu they have lovely organic drinks in the fridge. Alas no free wifi. But lots of good vegetarian magazines to read instead. And a kid friendly corner.

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).
