This is the hotel restaurant. It is accessible from inside the hotel as well as from the street…read more This restaurant also doubled as the morning breakfast spot. The breakfast was always fresh and delicious. It had a decent selection of foods; typical of many hotel brunches. One of the coolest things about breakfast was the breakfast beverage machine. It was controlled by an iPad. Touch the iPad and select your juice of choice (or water), put your glass in the proper place and press start. It had an auto setting that knew just the right amount of juice or water to put in each glass. Not in the mood for a full glass? No problem, select the custom setting and stop it at your desired amount. In the evening the restaurant morphs into a very cool place with a lounge type setting. There was a nice selection of music playing at an acceptable level. The English menus are on android tablets (Apple in the morning and Google in the evening). Selections can be made directly from the tablet and once you're ready to order either call your server via the tablet or submit your order. Every entree I saw looked very delicious. Because of the time (it was later than I liked for dining) I opted for grilled chicken Caesar salad. It was very fresh, came with a decent serving of chicken and just the right amount of dressing. They also served bread (with real butter) which was delicious. Another really cool feature in the restaurant involves more technology (surprise, surprise). Some tables are equipped with "Power Kiss Hotspot circles" that can be used to charge almost any device. Ask your server for a "charging ring" (just specify what type of device you have) and they will provide the appropriate ring. Plug it into your device, place the ring over the "Power Kiss Hotspot circles" and your device begins charging. You gotta love technology (I do) I plan to try other entrees on my next visit so stay tuned for future updates.

Not a single tourist in site, everyone speaking Finnish so we knew this was the perfect spot. Had only 30 minutes before lunch ended so we ate quick and snapped as many pictures as I could. Very interesting salads with unique dressings, most them couldn't tell what in the world made them taste so good. Helsinki proved to be awesome and to not copy Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Finland borders Russia on the East side which might be why their foods are so different and yet so delectable. Would be better to visit when the weather is warmer with some sunshine. For sure would return to this place as it was superb!

Love the unpretentious lunch hidden in the street corners of Helsinki city centre here. You kind of…read morehave to look for a place as it doesnt have street front...just a sign they put outside to say they are open...and you kind of have to brave yourself to step in a small corner inside the streets to actually get to the restaurant. There are all types of clienteles here and you pay right when you arrive, get your plate, grab your food from the buffet line and seat whereever the table is free. Pretty casual and stress free...and the staff there do run like a well-oiled machine. They clear thr empty plates and clean the tables, and refill the food in tje buffet line as much as they can. The buffet line has a section for vegetarian and regular hot meal food. There's also a separate corner to grab your own tea/coffee as you wish, too. For ~€12 and quality all you can eat lunch...this is a very very good deal! I did try everything from the buffet line and they all tasted fresh! I had 2 full plates and a cup of tea..and didn't feel bloated after eating so much afterwards at all. If I had time to come back to Helsinki again, I would definitely want to have lunch here again. I debated goinf back there again my last day in Helsinki but unfortunately didn't have enough time to go back there...else I would be back there again! Give yourself and your friends a nice casual lunch when you are in Helsinki and you will be happy to stopped by for sure!

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.
