 First-class service |
3 Ludviginkatu Helsinki 00130 Finland +358 9 612 7393 http://www.ravintolaopas.net/c... |
Opened in 1998, this restaurant flies the flag of French cuisine in Helsinki. Customers will immediately notice the elegance of Chez Dominique that is mirrored in its dishes. The price/quality ratio is justified according to the regular customers and considering this restaurant's gem is Hans Välimäki, one of the most famed chefs in Finland. The menu changes often, but past delicacies have included small blini with whitefish caviar as a starter and tournedos Rossini as a main dish. The décor is pleasant, the waiters normally polite.

Style, for a price |
17 Kalevankatu Helsinki, Southern Finland 00100 Finland +358 (0)10 270 1700 / +358 (0)10 270 1702 http://www.george.fi/ |
Restaurant George is a very classy place to eat in the center of town. Its clean, peaceful interior has a non-intrusive approach and makes it easy to concentrate on the food and your company. The chef is quite adventurous, with dishes such as cider and celery soup with quail's egg as a starter and as a main lamb fillet and silver onion puree. The menu varies regularly, and the service is first class. As always, quality and style usually equate to high prices. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Best seafood in town |
23 Unioninkatu Helsinki 00100 Finland +358 9 666 882 |
Its location, close to the sea in Kauppatori, is advantageous for bringing in the catch of the day. Competitors have challenged this restaurant as the seafood spot in town, but Havis Amanda has kept its ranking, enjoying immense popularity with tourists. The menu has more seafood and fish dishes than most restaurants of this sort and the quality is impressive. Popular choices include the grilled perch and lobster in lemon sauce. It's decor has an older, vintage feel. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Treats from Lapland |
22 Annankatu Helsinki 00100 Finland +358 9 645 550 http://www.lappires.com/ |
This is an interesting place to dine, even for the citizens of Helsinki. All tables, chairs, and other bits of furniture are made of wood and the dim lighting intensifies the feeling of being somewhere completely different. The menu is user-friendly with fair prices. Their specialty is the reindeer sirloin, or you could try the grilled vendace, which is considerably less expensive. Finnish your meal with the Lapp farm cheese selection, flavored with cinnamon cream. The waiters are always on the ball with good service even on busy nights. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Dinner by the sea |
10 Eteläranta Helsinki 00130 Finland +358 9 134 561 |
Located in the Palace Hotel, this restaurant is definitely worth visiting. Eating here in the summer months is marvelous, not least because of the view. Palace Grill is more a place for long conversations and enjoying yourself, so if you're looking to have just a quick lunch you should try Café Palace. At Palace Grill you can enjoy some of the best grilled salmon around, as well as a wide choice of other traditionally Finnish dishes. The advantage of eating here is that it is open late.

Traditional Finnish Fare |
Pohjoisesplanadi 21 Helsinki 00130 Finland +358 962 4327 http://www.marcante.fi/ |
Named after a character in the Finnish epic Kalevala, this is the place to get a real taste of traditional Finnish cuisine. The menu is influenced by what is in season, but you can always expect raw, fresh ingredients such as fish, lamb, root vegetables, wild mushrooms, berries, and of course reindeer. A plentiful amount of indoor and outdoor seating is available. For a traditional rustic, romantic feel dine in the arched cellar. Review © 2007, Wcities |
