All lunches come with starter salad and at the end you can take a coffee, tea or ice cream, what more can you ask for! My plate was filled: pork steak with creamy pepper sauce, I also opted for a salad due to some food restriction on the other side choice, but they were very accommodating. We also ordered a Kids menu item and the fries were nice and crisp (did not taste the nuggets) and the pizza with pesto, sun dried tomatoes and chicken was also yummy! Very family friendly and cozy atmosphere.

It's also fun to watch them preparing it. Would you like to have some pastry with your cappuccino or latte macchiato? Well, they have a big variety.

Anyway it is definitely a must for coffee lovers.

Soup was excellent, seasoned perfectly and made with fresh tomatoes. Came with a bruschetta sampler which tasted good but bread was soaked in oil... a little crunch would have been nice. Main course was lasagna - under seasoned but very tasty and with proper gratin on top. I would say a little above average - I've had a lot of lasagna in my lifetime :-) Service is rapid but a little stale and little to no smiles received. Good joint if you're in this area and given it is in a shopping mall.

They had both large and small portions so I opted for the latter. It was arguably the best risotto I've had in ages ... just delicious.

The overall look and feel of the interior is very light colored where as it used to have darker wood etc for a better ambiance. Now it looks like 2123421245 other restaurants in Helsinki.

They've ruined what used to be a nice cozy place with a traditional feel.
