Had a fabulous dinner at Stefan's. It was a perfect meal to end my trip on. We started with escargot and martinis. My mouth is still watering remembering the sauce the escargot was bathing in. My friend ordered the reindeer steak with red wine sauce and I did a steak with béarnaise sauce. Everything was cooked perfectly. The waiter was super polite and knowledgeable with the menu. Met the owner as well; he was so fun to talk to. Perfect hospitality for someone from out of town. Really glad we chose this place for our bougie meal in town read more

They ribbed us badly with wine. They played with menu explaination of wine and wrote on left side the price with cl and they putthe prices on the right pages glassand bottle. The waitress d8d not clarify the difference so we tought we ordered 5.5 euro wine glass as it is modarate price for whole europe and the bill.came for 308 euro for 4 glass of wine. We refused to pay and they did not help at all. Do not go there. It is really unfair bill unfair restaurant. read more

I was invited to dinner here and it was very nice. The atmosphere here and the service is 5 Star. The food however was not so great. Hence the three stars. I ordered a crab cake for starter and a Finnish striploin Steak for main. The crab cake tasted ok but lacked a bit of a punch. It was cooked well but lacking flavour. The steak was done medium rare as I asked but again the pepper sauce was too sweet and did not go with the steak. The mash potato was also a bit bland. The green beans with bacon was fabulous and I think I finished it first before anything else. The American Grenache the waitress chose was great and I loved it. Service here was great and the ambience was also very good. All in all an ok meal and I will come back and give it another go before making up my mind. read more

What a fantastic meal and relaxing atmosphere. I ordered a steak, but wanted to try the Reindeer steak. I asked the waiter with the chef could give us a small taste. He did. It was delicious. I should have ordered the Reindeer! read more

Stefan's hit the spot for its clubby upscale environs and its ability to select and serve outstanding food. Tried to order ribeye but smallest cut they had would have been over 120 euros. They were out of the reindeer steak, which is what I wanted. Opted for bacon-wrapped pork chop served with mashed potatoes. Server didn't clarify that pork chop included mashed so we had a 5 or 6 euro baked potato that neither of us could eat, which would have accompanied a steak. Their baked red beets with my entree were outstanding! Daughter had a big wedge salad that looked and tasted good plus a hearty looking vegetarian steak. Very attentive with water and dessert offering. Four and a half stars due to the ribeye and reindeer misses. Atmosphere is 5 stars, as are the staff. read more

Stefan's Steakhouse - American Near Me - Helsinki, 18

The waiter is very helpful. I got a very nice treatment here. atmosphere is romantic, two person order two soup and a iceberg salad as starter, one steak and one salmon as main course, and one plate mushroom and one plate carrot as sliders, no drink. Total price is Euro 102. A little pricy, but it's worth. We have a quiet and peaceful time here. Hope it's helpful for you. read more

Just enjoyed an excellent dinner with my son and two old friends from college. Second day in Helsinki feeling a bit jet lagged and fatigued from walking many miles in this truly beguiling city that punches well above its weight compared with other larger metro areas. Driven by hunger pangs and flagging energy to a much earlier than typical dining hour, we were hoping Stefan's could satisfy our desire for a decent meal in a comfortable setting. It did not simply meet but significantly exceeded our expectations. I ordered a classic steak house iceberg wedge with stilton, bleu cheese and bacon. It arrived well chilled and I found it crisp and delicious. This was followed by a tender, flavorful tenderloin prepared to a perfect medium rare. To this I added roasted root vegetables and and another steak house fixture, a rich and savory creamed spinach and finally, a ramekin of Bearnaise sauce. Delicious! My son went for an Entrecote steak that he pronounced one of the best he's ever had in his 28 years on the planet. To it he added a better than standard issue baked potato. My buddies each had the tenderloin and roasted veggies. From across the table they each appeared to consume their plates with gusto. For dessert, two of us chose a warm cherry, almond pie ala mode and one a simple single serving of smooth, high quality vanilla ice cream. Very good. But the winner was a fantastic cheese cake that my friend, originally from New York and a bit of a cheese cake snob, declared perhaps the best he's ever had. Given the fact that he just qualified for medicare, this lends to him a bit more gravitas in making such pronouncements than my enthusiastic but comparatively inexperienced offspring. Atmosphere is warmly inviting, casually upscale. Servers were very cordial and well versed in the menu. Noise level well suited to conversation. To be fair, you may want to plan on a leisurely pace. Perhaps not the best choice for a pre-theater meal or when on a deadline. All in all I believe Stefan's is not just a great steakhouse in Helsinki but that it could hold its own against the best in many parts of the globe. read more

One of the best (if not the best) steak houses in Helsinki. I have to say my favourite ones are in Tampere anyways, but this one comes close. I had Finnish entrecote with cognac and peppercorn sauce and my companion took Surf & Turf with smoked garlic sauce. The food was good, I had my steak as medium but it was maybe a bit overcooked, my friend's steak was ok. The sauces were very thin, I would have liked it a bit thicker (it was close to water like sauce) - even thou the taste was still good. Pouring that to the steak was a bit of pain, since it didn't stick much to it. We arrived to the place when it opened the doors and were the first customers there. We still had to wait our servings 30 minutes, so that is a bit of a minus. The side order salad I had the the entrecote was very small, if you are hungry don't take that. Since the restaurant is charging separately for beef, sauces and side orders, I would like to see them to be proper sizes. Overall, I would give rating of 4/5 or maybe 3.8/5. Slowish service, small side orders and very thin sauce drops some points. Considering the price - 90 euros for two with one small glass of wine - I can eat well in many other places cheaper. If you are looking for steaks specifically, Stefan's is the place to try. read more

Stefan's Steakhouse - Stefan's Steak House - American Near Me - Helsinki, 18

Delicious five courses meal and an elegant lounge! The food was amazing and can't say anything bad about it. Waiters were extremely professional but have to say that service was a bit slow and we would be left waiting a looong time between courses and no one would come to ask if we would like another drink... Nonetheless, recommend it for a romantic dinner (they have a cozy two-seater tables section where you can enjoy your meal comfortably) or for a group or work function to enjoy a nice meal and socialise. Hats up for for Stefan and his food, but if carnivorous meals is not your thing, they serve other things too ;) read more

Beautiful modern luxurious decor and furnishing, yet still quite rustic. Menu is to die for. Best tuna steak I've had in a long time and one of the few places to have it on the menu in Helsinki. Only critique is service was a little nondescript, and a tad pricy. But you definitely have to check it out. read more

We are sitting at Stefan's Steakhouse waiting for our food... It's been an hour and a half... Quite hungry by now. Better be an excellent steak. read more

For the price, food was ok. Portions are very small. Service was extremely slow. Definitely not a 5 star steakhouse. Make sure you call ahead with reservations. 2 of us walked in and they said they were sold out for the evening. Then miraculously they found a table for two setup near the coat check area. When the couches at the front bar were empty. Would I go again? Probably not. read more

Nicest meal out in a long time. Beet and chevre - fantastic. Finnish tenderloin, horseradish mayonaise, coleslaw, potato rosti. Brilliant. Finish with mudcake. Wow. Great service. Great ambiance. Excellent food and drink. read more
