A short distance from the town center, but a welcome oasis after excursions to the Temppeliaukio Kirkko and the Sibelius monument, Elite's simple art deco interior and spacious layout are popular with artists and writers. Traditional Finnish dishes to sample are fried Baltic herring, salmon soup with rye bread, and select game. If you want more contemporary dishes, try the smoked salmon with morel sauce, or the reindeer pastrami with celery puree and walnut vinaigrette. The outdoor seating in summer is very popular.
