Nestled in the heart of Helsinki, this small restaurant offers a taste of Finland and Sweden with its restricted menu and 3-course option. The Hungarian pörkölt is a standout, with tender beef that melts in your mouth. While some may find the side dishes a bit non-traditional, the homemade gluten-free bread is a big hit. The lunch menu offers a variety of options, including classic Finnish dishes and local fish, making it the best lunch spot in the city according to some. The friendly service and cozy atmosphere add to the overall experience, although some may find the service to be slow at times. While the prices may be on the medium-high side, the value for money may not be as high as expected. Overall, this owner-operated gem is a strong recommendation for those looking for a taste of traditional Finnish cuisine in a central location.
