I loved the chocolate breads which is delicious. It's dangerous coming to northern Europe as their breads are always to die for. The rye flour and the water is what I think. The vegetable dishes are super neat. Tartare is delicious. The fish and beef are delicious and the house made noodles super tasty. The seasoning on the dishes are very light with lots of seasonable veggies in it. Definitely not heavy and a great representation of the Scandinavian new cuisine that you often see in Norway and Sweden. Dessert are equally refreshing. Situated in city center for easy accessibility. I loved this meal and I loved Helsinki. This was my grandpa's favorite city - he visited in the 1950s after making a tour to East Germany, Czech, Latvia, Estonia and Soviet's Moscow. I am glad that I could visit here like he did over a half a century ago.

The final stop of our food tour in Helsinki, we had a reserved table way in the back this evening…read more Four beers to try including their pilsner, weissbier, marzen and stout. I preferred the weissbier, trading my stour and marzen with my tourmates for theirs. This is a nice comfy underground brewpub and I get the feeling that it can get a little friendly during the more "Oktoberfest" times of the year. Free wifi, comfy seating, great beers. I really enjoyed it here and it's more than clear that Helsinki has an excellent craft brew culture going on! [Review 10076 overall, 1661 of 2018.]

Acutally on Sunday they have a brunch that is not too crowded.... 17 euro a person and you get to eat various things off the buffet. It was decent, but the price is a bit steep. The desserts were quite good also. They have a food menu here in English if you are hungry, but I can save you some time. Do yourself a favor and order the burger. Yes, I realize it's 15 euro for a burger. But it's damned good. Other than that , makara means "sausage" and they have a couple different kinds.

This was a quite good burger. I'm a bit spoiled with great burgers, but this was good. Served on a…read morestone plate with knife and fork, and they asked if I wanted it medium or well, and it was a perfect medium. However, as with so many other nice burger places its too much focus on the meat and less on the dressing and type of cucumber - none. This place is made for hangouts, with board games and couches (or tables), perfect for an evening with friends. To fit into this focus the price of beer has to be lower. 7€ for a normal beer is too much for hangouts. The place is big, and nice. The staff was not as good on recommending stuff, they went strictly on the menu. I'm not interested in the menu, I just said I want THE burger. With cheese, without bacon, please. "But which burger? this one might be good for you?" and the waiter pointed at something in the menu. When I want THE burger, its probably not on the menu.. ;) Still, it is good burgers. I like good burgers. As Arnold would have said, "I'll be back!"

Man what a cool place in the center of Helsinki. After taking in some of the sights, walking the…read morecobblestone and brick streets, I decided to stop here for a bite to eat. The atmosphere has a dark underground feel (literally). Reindeer happens to be a popular delicacy, so I treated myself to the reindeer burger, prepared medium rare. This burger was amazing, lean with a great flavor. If your out wandering around Helsinki, I would recommend trying out this restaurant/Bar.

If you're around Kallio district, a lively, slowly up and coming hipster-ish neighborhood in…read moreHelsinki, you should stop by Tenho Restobar. This charming, warm and artsy bar and restaurant offers live music several nights a week complemented with rather tasty menu. Keen of pizza? Try simply their Margarita or go with a tasty, big-size sallad with tofu, goat cheese or smoked salmon. If you enjoy a good micro brew, Tenho has few bottled alternatives and both the red - and white wine selections are rather adequate of nature. The atmosphere in Tenho is relaxed with a lot of local artists, musicians and hipsters spending their evening hours at the venue sipping drafts or red, chatting and listening to the artists performing on the small stage. If you're in a mood for some chill yet delish grub, good mood and locals, check out Tenho in Kallio.

All the in house beer info is also easily found on the wall and the menu is simple; mostly based on their also homemade sausages. Not wanting a full meal, I went with the Poutine which has all the things I love - sausage, fries, cheese curds, and a light and slightly tart gravy. All yum, and all gone from the plate within minutes. I would think all the other menu items are equally worthy but if you just want a great beer, this place will do it too.

In the space of a previous garlic restaurant they have opened up a restaurant where they serve up simple dishes from nice ingredients. The menu is refreshingly short, all in all around 10 dishes out of which 5-6 are mains and then there are a few snack dishes and some dessert. The food I had has been very good, uncomplicated but with flavors that really fit together well. In addition to serving good food they also brew their own beer on site as well as serve other good craft beer. The beer is very nice and a lot of interesting types of beer can be sampled (served in either small (0.2l) or regular (0.4l)). Nice and friendly service adds to the appeal of this place. Orders are places at the bar so can at times be a bit busy but not really an issue. The place is also nicely designed in a mix of rustic wood and white tiles behind the bar. The improvement would be to try to reduce the noise level in the bigger room as it got rather loud (and the tables are big so people sit fairly far from each other resulting in louder and louder conversations).

It was good but I probably would have loved it much more with the ice cream. Service was slow but I've come to expect that in Finland.

Probably a good 10-15 minute walk from the Central Train Station and far from other tourist locations. If this was closer to city center it would be a hot location.
