Some addresses in Helsinki, Finland

We were very pleased with the quality of the food you find in restaurants in Helsinki. OK, they are pricier than usual, but we would have to say very good value.




    • Casa Largo: Spanish tapas - for a very late night dinner, the paella served was more than satisfying.  Address: Asema-aukio 2 Tel. 010 76 63500  WWW: http://www.casalargo.fi



    • Grotesk: Interesting menu, which includes also a steak tartar. However, if you are a larger group (larger than 8 people), this menu disappears and you are left with a smaller menu. The steak option is filling, and cooked to perfection. If you go for the salmon option, you might end up wandering when the main dish will show up, as some did in our group. Address: Ludvigingatu 10 WWW: http://www.grotesk.fi
    • Elite: Has good outdoor seating, and it seems in the evenings, different choirs come to sing inside. Looks like interesting entertainment. :) The menu is also quite extensive, with several different steak options, all liked by the group we were dining with. However, different than the rest, I had the grilled king prawn tails - these were very tasty but it is a smaller portion than the steak dishes. But, topping it with a chocolate cake with gooseberry compote made it an excellent and filling end to the nice evening with friends.  Address: Eteläinen Hesperiankatu 22 WWW: http://www.elite.fi/en
