The dishes and the service were really good. I promise that I definitely come to this restaurant again when I come back here next time. We had a great time. We especially liked the bread and butter so much.

The food was great, especially the duck. It was super soft and juicy and the skin was crisp, perfect, also the side potato was good. The starters are a bit a boring and also the desserts weren’t my favourite. Large wine selection, ok cocktails. The negroni was good. I would return here just for that duck, like anytime. Service is passable we were a bit ignored most of the time and been served by many different staff. Artek design elements gave a nice atmosphere but the white table clothes are just weird as the service wasn’t suiting for a fine dining place. I would say it’s more like this French influenced Nordic bistro.

Cute place with super friendly staff! Tasty bistro styled food and good serving sized. The restaurant was full as we arrived, but they were happy to place us in the bar (difference is basically the lack of the white table cloth). We were very happy with this as we had not reserved a table in advance (recommended!). Try the desserts, apple pie and lemon pot were amazing. 👌🏻 The reason for 4 stars is that I was not amazed by the main course but as I did not order one myself I cant be sure how tasty thet would have been.

Always as good as it can possibly be! Great to have such a colleagues to learn from ❤️ easy going and cozy atmosphere, lunches here are my favorite part! Love the changing menu and local seasonal products in them! Wine list is to adore! BIG recommendation, especially for ones looking for nordic style cuisine in Helsinki! Love the simplicity in details!

Our first time to Helsinki and this was our first meal out. Quite simply it was stunning. Our waiter was Marcus and he was so helpful, understanding and listened. Cannot wait to return and enjoy the excellent food and service. Ian and Jane

Very nice place for fine dining. Not a lot of food options, but the existing ones are great. Mostly Finnish style/European cuisine.

Visited 11.12.2022 early dinner 16h. Overall, the experience was nice but too slow. we waited 1 hour and 40 minutes for our main course. Way too long. Not sure why. Pity. Ordered the black root starter, silakka main and suklaa fondant for dessert. All very good

Simple, yet delicious. There is nothing new here, quite the opposite. This restaurant seems to get very high praise, but in my opinion, the restaurant staff and their knowledge of the wines & foods makes this restaurant worth the visit. Not the food itself, I’m afraid. Maybe for a tourist experimenting in scandinavian type foods, but other than that it’s very simple and not worth the high price. That being said, the decor and atmosphere is very nice ( nordic simplicity ) and lovely light in the daylight hours.

The restaurant is exceptionally good. I honestly could not find anything to fault it. I arrived near 10.30, but they still warmly welcomed us. The food was really delicious, and the staff were friendly and attentive. I really like the raw beef. Truly wonderful experience👍

Nice place for business lunches and dinners. This is French cuisine place with a few classics too. Nice side orders and god pieces of cheese available for dessert. Nice white table cloths and not too noisy atmosphere even though tables are close to each other. Relatively fast service.

One of the best restaurants in Helsinki, or maybe even the best. Friendly staff and even helpful. Foods are always seasonal and freshly made! We have celebrated 3 birthdays in this restaurant, never been disappointed. Keep up the good work!

Odotukset eivät täyttyneet dinnerin tai palvelun osalta mm. tyhjiä pöytiä siivottiin ja pöytäliinoja otettiin pois klo 23,15 siihen malliin että tuli mieleen että odotettiinko meidänkin poistuvan. Risoton koostumus oli hyvä, sinihomejuusto peitti muut maut. Suklaa fondant'ia voi suositella!

Tosi hyvä alku- ja pääruoka. Pääruoan kanssa olisin kaivannut hieman erilaisen viinin ja jälkiruoka olisi voinut olla parempi. Kaiken kaikkiaan kuitenkin hyvä synttäriruokailu!

Great seasonal food and friendly service. Worth a detour! ⭐️ Update 2023: The level of cooking has unfortunately deteriorated since last year. Unclear why. Service is still good. We visited the establishment twice last week and the lunch was way below par from what should be expected. Undercooked vegetables and overcooked proteins. Hopefully this will be addressed.

Tein varauksen viikkoja sitten, kun saavuimme, he antoivat meille pöydän oven viereen kaikkien takkien eteen. Jos menet ravintolaan, jossa hinnat ovat korkeat, sinun on tarjottava hyvää palvelua, ottaen huomioon varauksen tehdessäsi ja jättämättä asiakkaita Ovelle, kun ihmiset avasivat oven, kaikki kylmä tuli sisään. Helsingissä on parempia ravintoloita, samaan hintaan, ylellisempiä ja laadukkaammalla palvelulla. Tämä paikka on yliarvostettu, ruoka on täydellistä, mutta palvelu on kohtalokasta hintoihin nähden. Heidän palvelunsa on hyvää nopeaan ateriaan. Käytin 291,00 € istuakseni pinottujen takkien edessä ja kuollakseni vilustumiseen, varattuna viikkoja etukäteen.

Lohipastrami oli hyvä. Sisäfileepihvi erinomainen, samoin kuin ranskalaiset. Jälkkäri myös hyvä. Palvelu moitteetonta.

Loistava ruoka ja asiantunteva henkilökunta. Viinit ”toiselta” listalta olivat hyvät.

We had an absolutely amazing evening here, the food was so delicious and our waiter was super friendly 🥰 the lemon-cream dessert is the best I ever had ❤️ we'll definitely come back

We would definitely come back again. The bistro labeled itself as offering casual dining but I would say this is fine dining! I ordered the lamb sirloin and it was cooked to perfection: fragrant with herbs and not salty at all. A gem indeed!

Very good and filling food recommend the chocolate cake. Good wine recommendations!

Had dinner for 4 ppl. Food was quite ok but there is a clear discrepancy between the quality level of the food&service vs price level. Would go again only if level of service & food improves. Also the chef hauling food containers back and forth from the kitchen through the dining area didn’t seem appropriate.

Excellent food. Waiter was very helpful and competent with food and wines. He made us some spot on recommendations.

It was a pleasant surprise. Fantastic team, perfect chateaubriand and wine pairing. I also enjoyed a taste of restaurant design and famous posters in the frames on the walls. Quality and taste at the top level.

The waiters were very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing! I had the croquettes as an appetizer and char as main course. It’s slightly more expensive then the average we found around the city, but it was one of the best meals! I recommend it.

Great food with lots of different dishes to choose, also 3 different pricerange menus. Warm atmosphere and quality of service was excellent.

It's very good at what it does. Old school traditional foods done exceptionally well and paired with wine.

Excellent! My favorite next door place to go for lunch or dinner. Food is a nice fusion of Classic French-Italian and Finnish, elegant and tasty and not too complex. Always first class ingredients. Situated in the heart of Helsinki, stylish interior, very friendly service. Reasonable prices. And booking with a couple of clicks.

Excellent food and a simple yet beautiful environment. Service was also delightful. A quality experience with nothing to complain. 1 star missing because this restaurant is quite exchangeable with any other in the fine dining category.

Great tastes without any tries to showing off. Pure ingredients and simple but great flavors. Knowledgeable service and friendly staff. Central location with views to pass by traffic. Modern classic. Menu and interior supporting each other. Allergies and gluten free options available and noticed nicely.

Good menu, friendly and attentive table staff. Noise level pleasantly low. Prices not "cheap", but not extortionate. We'll be back!
