    Fillet of reindeer was amazing. That's forty euros but I never ate something so tasty before!I already take some bites when I took the picture so it's not representative of what you will get.

    Creamy Salmon Soup is very good. Reindeer is amazing, one of the best meat I ever had. They have a nice selection of wines. Service is efficient and very friendly. Beautiful restaurant.

    In this famous, traditional restaurant you can find the best grilled liver with mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam! Don't miss the snails cooked with garlic and spices! Highly recommended!

    A traditional Finnish restaurant with big portions & fair prices. Globetrotting journalist Tyler Brule of Wallpaper and Monocle fame once listed Sea Horse’s onion steak in his top 10 favourite meals.

    True to the bone and very typical. The herrings steak is one to die for.

    The oldest traditional Finnish cuisine restaurant in Helsinki and most definitely the best one. The portions are huge, the prices are reasonable. Onion steak a la Sea Horse is a must!

    Typical Finnish food, feels like a genuine 1930’s or 40’s interior. Great food and service. A different experience.

    Really good food, nice service and affordable. Be aware that they check your coat at the entrance and make you pay 2 euros for it, even though they only tell you that when you leave - not cool.

    You feel like in an 70ies James Bond movie atmosphere wise, but the staff is friendly, food is excellent and portions are big.

    Oldest ongoing local restaurant in southern Helsinki. Try fried baltic herrings with mashed potatoe.

    There is a small cabinet room if you want to have privacy for a mid-sized group (~15). Ask for reservations.

    Reasonable meal prices for Helsinki standards. Try the traditional Finish appetizer with the German sounding name Vorschmack. Nice terrace.

    Starters are Ok, Vorschmack is ok. But generally over-priced, and over-praised

    Watch out: The doorman takes your jacket (w/o asking) and demands 2€ to give it back. He will also show you the wardrobe-service sign (in Finnish) and claim this is a "Finnish tradition".

    Last time we had grilled salmon and Wiener Schnitchel. He said the meat dish was best he had had, perfect, as if from 1970's, in a good way. My salmon dish melted in the mouth. Service is profesiional

    Finlandの家庭料理を出すRestaurant。日本語メニューもあるし日本語のWEB-siteもあり日本人の集客には熱心だ。観光客には有名なようで日曜の夜に行ったら英語の会話も目立ったけど日本人も結構居た。「地球の歩き方」に出てるんだろうな~。写真はこの店のSignatureでもあるボルシュマック (Vorschmack ) 15.9 euro。 Read more

    Суп - просто сказка, замечательное обслуживание и огромные порции. Но не берите большую порцию супа - она на четверых и подаётся в супнице;)

    Ради лососёвого супа, оленины, тефтелек и судака стоит умереть! На десерт попробуйте традиционный финский сыр с морожкой и замороженных клюкву с карамель, не пожалеете. Всё это обошлось в сто евро)
