zetor restaurant is owned by a member of the finnish band "lenningrad cowboys" and is a rather odd but very nice place to spend an evening.
the restaurant is dominated by old soviet zetor tractors that are all over the place between the tables where you are eating.
one of the many odd things about the place is that the menu is posted on tetrapak cartons.
i thought that was a cool way to present the food. Leave a Comment

A bar with tractors?! Different, we thought! And then there was the gold-panning paraphernalia on the walls of the restaurant - I confess, I couldn't resist stroking the reindeer skin next to our table repeatedly!
The menu is traditional Finnish food, updated for every season, and there's a pretty wide choice, including locally caught fish. Selected dishes are even organic. The pea and ham soup, apparently a staple of the army diet, comes in a tin canteen! There's also plenty of the lovely rye bread to go around, and even a home-made rye beer.
The waiters are attentive without hovering, although when it gets busy you may have to wait a little while between courses - this is no bad thing, if you're going for all three, you need a while to let the main settle before attempting one of their delicious desserts!
Reindeer with oven cheese - beautifully cooked meat, and the baked cheese goes with it and the potatoes surpisingly well. A real treat.

This place which is situated in the city of Helsinki close to the Swedish Theatre does not only provide Finnish food but also home-made ale in a quite unique atmosphere.
It's worth going there just to read the menue and watch the people around.

Zetor is a Czech tractor factory, situated in Brno. Production commenced at the remnants of the metal foundry Zbrojovka in 1946. Since then more than a million tractors have been produced and sold world wide.
The Helsinki "branch" has never produced nor sold a single tractor. It is a pub / restaurant designed to make cowboys, dairymaids, peasants and tractor lovers feel at home. Design is said to be based on ideas of members of the band / frequent guests Leningrad Cowboys. This was the location of my second VT meeting, and the first one on the januar 2006 road trip. We had a great time! Being urbane did not prevent me from enjoying the ambience, and the company of the road trip gang and the local VTers made it even better :-)
I don't have any pictures of myself "driving" the in situ tractors, but there is one on Brad's Helsinki page and in the meeting gallery.
Opening hours:
Sunday - Monday: 3 pm - 1 am
Tuesday: 3 pm - 3 am
Wednesday - Friday: 3 pm - 4 am
Saturday: 11 am - 4 am
The kitchen, which prepares delicious finnish meals, is open until 30 minutes before closing time.

 Bigs and I at Zetor by sabsi
You can dance, drink or dine here - or then all of this. The food is Finnish mixed with Russian and very very nice actually. Even reading the menu is a great laugh!
Unfortunately this place is a bit on the expensive side. Paid 5.70€ for a Lonkero here which was a bit shocking. Food is expensive too but once you get used to the food prices in Helsinki it doesn't shock you any longer ;)
At the weekend it's supposed to be terrible here, but I've been there on an evening during the week twice and it was nice. There's loads of tourists here anytime though.
You can buy Zetor and Leningrad Cowboys Merchandise here, too.
The menu itself is really funny. There's a story about every dish there and some of them are very imaginative.
I had a "farmer's bread" which was pork on bread topped with cheese and mushrooms. Rather tasty. The others had tomato soup "a la Finnish army" which was served from an original army tin plate. Funny, I told ya ;) Leave a Comment

 Zetor by 2_lovelygirls_FR
Before you leave don't forget to pass by the toilet ! We don't know about the men's but in the ladies there are interesting pin-ups pictures ;o)))))
and of course the staff was very nice ! Kiitos !
DEFINITELY GO FOR THE MEATBALLS! It's delicious. It's a typical dish in Finland and it's very rich. It comes with mashed potatoes and beetroots. Leave a Comment

Completely American country style. Tractors and stuff as inner decorior. Uncomfortable seating on wooden benches. Loud music, lots of people smoke in there. The waiters/waitresses speak English and some of them also German well. The food was good, I had some chicken stuff ("#25") and "An Apple A Day" as dessert. Paid about 20 Euros, had some additional water. Was there with a group. Didn't like the place too much but other people obviously do: When I was leaving at about 11 p.m. on a Saturday night, people were queuing outside to get in ... Leave a Comment
