murasaki

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 So happy to see this place thriving! It got pretty busy recently, so make sure to book beforehand. One of the best spots for lunch in Helsinki overall, and the most authentic Japanese lunch currently. The food is amazing, made with care and attention. You can go for a lunch with 5 side dishes withou...

Pikku Muuri Cafe & Bistro

Cafe

👍👍 The almond croissant was delicious, I was between the chocolate cake and the croissant, so I asked for the owner's advice, and I was not disappointed 😋 Then I tried their matcha latte, and they just put it on the menu today! It was frothy, velvety and rich! The service was very nice, I definitely r...

Performance Unit

Gym

👍👍 I am really happy I joined Selkrig! I’ve never been much of a gym person and felt overwhelmed trying to get in shape before. But now with the help of my coach and the Selkrig program I’ve been able to make real, sustainable progress. It has been an investment, not only financially but also in time....

Tawook Lab

Restaurant

👍👍 Yum! I went last night and it was so good that I had to come back for lunch with a friend. Perfect for a 30 minute lunch or even a 2 hour sit-down, and best pita I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

Little Big Cafe +DELI

Coffee shop

👍👍 Aiva ihastuttava ja lämminhenkinen fiilis heti sisään astuessa! Tunnnen olevani todella tervetullut! Selkeä, elegantti ja tyylikäs myymälä ja mikä tietenkin parasta... laadukkaista ja tuoreista raaka-aineista valmistetut leivät, salaatit ja smoothiet. Ei pidä myöskään unohtaa aivan ihastuttavia mak...

Maja Coffee Roastery

Coffee shop

👍👍 Cosy little café, that serves delicious coffee and pastries. Coffee was made to perfection. We also had their home made apple pie and it melted in our mouths. Everything was fresh and perfect, will definitely come again!

Noodle Sama

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 The noodle dish Sama Tofu was delicious and full of flavour. My three companions all enjoyed their dishes as well, although the donburi seemed to be a bit too small to be filling. Service was excellent. We got a selection of salads as appetizer and some melon for dessert, both complementary.

CrossFit Bulsa

Performance Unit

Gym

👍👍 As a happy customer I can only say that the PT’s in Selkrig Performance Unit must be Jedi Masters. It might not be the fastest way but it is the only way to have long lasting results and eventually becoming a Jedi. Say no to quicker, easier and some might say more seductive way of the dark side and...

Struts

Cocktail bar

👍👍 TL;DR Herkullisia mocktaileja, cocktaileja, unenomainen tunnelma ja kaunis sisustus. Paikka kvääreille, sopii vegaaneille sekä omituisille otuksille. Tulen ehdottomasti uudestaan. Väittävät paikkaa vielä keskeneräiseksi, mutta näyttää jo nyt niin hyvältä, että odotan jännityksellä miten upea paikka...
