A single, in nice glassware!

The Nordic Kitchen at the Helsinki airport is an excellent spot to stop in for a bite or a drink when you have a layover. I have popped in a few times now and been pleased always. The prices are steep, but that is party due to the euro versus dollar. They push the local gin as its award winning. I would agree it's pretty good, but ends up even more expensive(word to the wise) The people here especially pleasant. From the average airport demeanor is less that the smile and suggestion you get at Nordic. Stop in, it's a classy joint.

Traveling back home while waiting on my flight, we decided to stop and try some Nordic food. It was a good stop, service was quick and food was great.

What a surprise to find such a delightful restaurant in an airport ! Absolutely a jewel with top quality. Last fall I ordered a cod fish dish. This time wild duck. Both are delicious and with beautiful presentation. Highly recommend if you happen to be in Helsinki airport.

Cod

I don't even know where to begin! I was on my way to Russia for the WC when we lucked out with this layover. This place was much more than what I expected. The second we sat down we got greeted by a very pleasant server- she smiled and offered us drinks right away and allowed us to really look at the menu before choosing our meals. I have to say- when I travel I want authentic food and something different and we went for exactly that. Ordered the reindeer pasta and the cod- with a bit of hesitation ... but it didn't disappoint one bit! Both dishes tasted so incredibly fresh that it literally was like time stopped and we just enjoyed that moment. So much flavor- the reindeer pasta was a lot heartier than the cod but both super satisfying in every aspect. Let me put it this way- we didn't want it to end and even considered ordering something else but our time was limited (not to mention a full belly). Place was clean, service was great- yes it was a bit on the pricey side but comparing it to the Burger King just a few stores down... all I know is that despite the short layover I was hooked- the people... the food... I have got to go back and spend time in Finland. If you are ever there for a layover- give them a try- will not disappoint!

Smoked reindeer with marinated chanterelles on toast to start and the salmon soup.

Wow. Best food I have had in an airport. I was here for a layover, but still wanted to get something Finnish (aside from a Moomin book). I stood in front of the menu for this place at least 10 minutes trying to decide what I wanted. It all sounded pretty good. I went with the smoked reindeer and marinated chanterelles on toast as well as the salmon soup, which was labeled as a small piece of Finland. I will admit, I did not really know what to expect with the soup, but how could I say no to a small piece of Finland before I get back to the States?! I was not sorry. The food was excellent. I was worried the soup was going to be one with watery, weak broth. This soup was like a salmon and potato chowder seasoned with some dill. It was perfect! If you are through here for an international flight I highly recommend this for your layover meal.
