This is one of my favorite markets to visit in Helsinki. It's a busy place during great weather but…read moreit's not as hectic as Kauppatori. The vendors offer high quality produce and flowers or fish. It's so nice to take a coffee break in one of those coffee tents while weather permits. They do offer cover but sometimes during winter months coffee shops are not present at the market. Hakaniemen Tori, is very easy to access by public transportation or by foot. Should you be looking for a parking space, good luck with that! If you do take a Taxi they can easily drop you off or pick you up when you are done enjoying your market experience. Definitely worth the visit.

We came here in March so there were not a lot of vendors outside but I'm glad there were some so I…read morecould experience it. I bought several items from different vendors. I especially loved the handmade wooden trivets. They were beautiful. I also got some salmon soup which was amazing. It was cold outside and it warmed me up nicely. My friend got a crepe there and it was good. As the weather warms up there will be more vendors so I'd highly recommend a trip to visit.

The market here is open pretty much everyday (except in the winter when they are limited to fewer…read moreshops indoor) and is one of the tourist spot to stop by, either for a regular city tour or while waiting for a ferry to Suomenlinna. The shops sell things ranging from crafts and souvenir to fresh produces like berries and veggies and cafe food. It's a nice quick stroll to see Helsinki life :) (though many tourists come here more than locals I think). Pluses are that there's no entrance fee but, as a big foodie fan, I wish they have more selection for edible food to try out!

This place has vegetarian options! And it is a hangover/late night snack place. Decent compared to…read moremost others and fast. Take-away kiosk type of place.

Susan's Grilli is the place to go if you are in Tapanilla. Relatively friendly service and…read moreabsolutely the best lihapiirakka have had in Finland. Yes, this even includes the awesome ones in Lappeenranta at the market square. The lihapiirakka themselves will never pass for home-made, but they are grilled up crisp, and the topings are also grilled fresh. The onion is a little on the hot side, but thats ok. Topings are added as you ask for them, just a little, no problem. Every time I go back to Finland we go there at least once. Much love for this little roadside stand. Truly, the best lihapiirakka in Finland, or at least that I have found so far. Also, near a park so its actually a great location also to have for a picnic.
