 I love food! by Elena_blue
My favorite was the fried whitefish, but don't hesitate: Take a full plate with different things and decide for your best. Alternative: come here every day you spend in Helsinki and try a different food every day!

 kagone by sinoda
The restaurant (both a la carte and buffet) offers Finnish and Karelian specialities. There is a also a self service cafe.
There are also some rooms available (46-64 e). Enjoy the beautiful surroundings (if you can ignore the highway right in front), hiking and cross-country skiing trails 3 - 50 km, and sauna and swimming facilities.
Don't worry too much about the right pronounciation of the name. Most Finns have trouble with it too! If you want to give it a try, just say kae-goe-neh.

 Savotta restaurant, Helsinki by Elena_blue
Although a cosy place I did not enjoy food - and believe me it happens rarely! I m afraid that finnish food taste does not suit me well. But again this is personal. I have to say thank you to the guys working to the restaurant, because when they saw my plate untouched, they brought me a variety of different other things (not sure what exactly, the names), which were tasty and finally I left the restaurant not that hungry! Theme: LocalPrice: US$31-40 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageDirections: On the cathedral's square, behind the port. Central, very easy.

- Rye bread ('ruisleipä'). The best (and only real?) bread there is. There are many different rye breads. Be careful if you aren't use to it, since too much rye bread can cause some gas into your stomach.
- Karelian pasty ('karjalanpiirakka'). Actually more bread than a pasty.
- Pea soup ('hernekeitto'). Looks totally horrible. Tastes good - or at least I think so. There are actually people who like it and people who really hate it. Even better if you can get it smoke flavoured.
- Pancake. Ok there are pancakes as "usual" pancakes (or crepes), which in Finnish are called 'ohukainen' or more unofficially but more commonly 'lätty'. A little bit better version is the ones made outside with BIG frying pan - known as 'muurinpohjalätty'. And then there is this what in Finnish is called 'pannukakku', which is a direct translation from the word 'pancake'. It is much thicker thing baked in the oven, and tastes a bit different too. Pancakes are usually consumed with some jam - most preferably with homemade jam made from Finnish (straw)berries. ;-)
- Cloudberries ('lakka' or 'hilla'). These yellow berries can be found from northern Finland - and from some markets. Might be little bit expensive and taste a bit "different", but not bad at all. Just mentioned here because I think you can't find them in many countries after all.
- Salmiac ('salmiakki'). Black sweet, which could be expected to be like liquorice, but it isn't :) One of those "traditional" things (along with rye bread and Fazer's Blue 'Fazerin sininen' Chocolate - which is NOT blue coloured) Finns miss when they are abroad.
- 'Koskenkorva' or 'kossu'. The most "traditional" Finnish alcohol drink. Strong (38%) alcohol which tastes quite horrible. Sometimes I'm able to drink it, but I try to avoid it in any possible way. Nevertheless has been quite popular propably as long as it has existed. Can be drunk straight or with some add-ons. The traditional way is perhaps drinking straight from the bottle as long as it lasts...

 My own original Cafe Latte &
Pulla. by Gili_S
Also try other salty pies as Lihapiirakka, Lortsy, Karelian pie etc. they can suits well as small snacks.
I listed cafes on my cities pages.
In the winter, usually on February it is common to have Laskiaispulla which is my favourite. Leave a Comment Theme: Bakery

This is about restaurants in general.
A very sympathetic gesture in Finland is that all restaurants that I went to had special signs beside every menu item stating if it was gluten or lactose free (there was a third but I forgot that one, maybe gluten AND lactose free).
Even the trucker's café's by the highways had those. Leave a Comment Theme: Local
