Restaurants in Helsinki
 

Hi guys,

Does anybody have good suggestions about Helsinki's restaurants in the Centre? Looking for something a bit fancier but should be Scandinavian or Finish Cuisine.. I have tried internet and it is really difficult to find authentic..

Thanks for advance

I saw a Michelin* restaurant right opposite the souvenire market behind the Alexander's monument on the embankment not far from the sea port. Most of the Finnish cuisine restaurants are within walkable distance, so just keep the main bulevard.

For example these:

Aino
Pohjoisesplanadi 21

Suomi Lautasella
Lönnrotinkatu 13
www.suomiravintola.fi

Juuri
Korkeavuorenkatu 27
www.juuri.fi

Lappi
Annankatu 22

There are lots of ideas here http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/scand...ing-guide.html .

Palace Gourmet in Eteläranta always has something typically Finnish and traditional on the list.

My favourite restaurant in Helsinki is nowadays Chez Dominique:

It was recently rated 21st on The World's 50 Best Restaurants list

Can't wait to get to Finland. Counting down to this year's home exchange in Lahti. I'll be about an hour by train north of Helsinki. I's spend a few days in Helsinki at the end and take the ferry to Tallin, Estonia, one of the days there.

In the shopping centre Forum (address Mannerheimintie 20) there is a new Finnish/Scandinavian restaurant called Kaarna. It has been open since May or something..
