Best Foods to Try in Helsinki, Finland

As the capital of Finland, Helsinki is a Nordic foodie heaven full of delicious foods to try, including Finnish staples like mushrooms, berries, salmon, and rye bread. Finns are known for their love of nature so you'll find that the culinary scene here emphasizes where food comes from and how it's produced. In this video, I'm sharing seven of the best foods and restaurants in Helsinki from budget-friendly to splurge-worthy. We visit a sustainable restaurant called Ultima where you can experience the future of food production. The best cinnamon buns in Helsinki (with the most picturesque view) are at Cafe Regatta. If you want to splurge on an unforgettable meal of Finnish fine dining with a twist then dinner at Finnjävel is a must. You also have to try a bowl of salmon soup, which is traditional Finnish fare, and the bouillabaisse at the Market Hall which sells out early. You can even dine in a former prison that's been converted to a restaurant and hotel. If you fancy a fresh and tasty döner in Helsinki then the best is at Döner Harju. Check out the rest of our Finland series for more videos about the best things to see and do in Helsinki and Lapland, including trying lots more traditional Finnish foods.

    Linnankellari literally means Castle Cellar, just in Finnish the word castle has the secondary meaning of Prison, Jailhouse, Slammer etc. - a product of the medieval practicalities: the prisoners of importance were locked in the castles. There were less than million Finns until the beginning of the 19th century (maybe that number was reached before too - 18th cent. had many wars dropping down the population). And so, in this case, yeah: Jailhouse Cellar is the proper interpretation. Both for someone who doesn't know the history of the place, the name sounds more fancy - the word castle has always that majestic air also in Finnish - be it you're a prisoner or not.

    Hey Tamami! That's wonderful that you're planning a Helsinki trip for July. To me, the planning and anticipation are half the fun. Something to look forward to! Unfortunately I believe Ultima has been permanently closed and/or changed its name/stripes to something else. This is what comes up now when you google it restaurantfiasco.fi/en/menu/ and it says "by Ultima" - may require a little digging! Here's the link to our video where we visit the Moomin Cafe (and other cool places): kzread.info/dash/bejne/dZiD0NSFoNHgYrw.html. We made other videos in Finland if you'd like to check them out as you plan: kzread.info/dash/bejne/YoqktbV6p9yzgLQ.html I've also saved other recommendations as highlights on my Instagram under the names Helsinki and Lapland Finland.

    Hello! Great video, but I have one question regarding the weather in Helsinki. Because we want to go on a vacation in august, and we really like the idea of visiting this beautiful Nordic city, do you know what the weather is like during the beginning of this month? Is it rainy, cloudy or sunny? Thank you in advance!

    Hi! That's great you're planning a trip! We haven't been to Helsinki in August but I believe the temperatures at that time would be between around 15 and 20 degrees? Great sightseeing weather, in my opinion. We visited in more the fall and got away with light jackets, as you can see. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time! We've made a bunch of videos about Helsinki and Finland if you're like to see more while you plan your visit. They are here if you're interested (including plays to stay/eat etc): kzread.info/dash/bejne/YoqktbV6p9yzgLQ.html :)

    Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!

    Döner Harju.. That place was to be named Döner Kallio (nowadays the most pop part of t he city) but the district where the restaurant is located is actually Harju, so the owners 'had' to name it Harju (a ridge, instead of a rock, Kallio). I know, Not even a fun fact.

    I have to ask about the drone shots. Did you ask permission from TrafiCom about flying over Cafe Regatta? It’s an official no fly zone, due to the prime minister living nearby. If not, you need to check permissions for certain areas. This can lead to serious for the local drone community, which we work very closely with.

    Hi Eileen, Good video, but I'm having trouble hearing you. Have you considered muting the background noise and then adding in audio commentary, later. It gives me a headache to try to listen to you. It's like you are having to shout over the background noise, everywhere you go in these videos. So, it just gets worse and worse. In some of these cases, you try to increase the volume, so you can hear the person speaking, and you increase the background noise, as well, so you still have a hard time hearing them. Because, your video is so noisy, I feel like I'm watching a rap video. OK, I turned the volume all the way down and hit the CC button, so I could listen to it more peacefully.

    Cafe Regatta is cute, but SO overrated. I went with my Japanese friends and they were clearly disappointed. All of the promised vegan stuff (2 options) were defrozen in the microwave, tasted super dry and pre-made, pretty sure they hadn't baked them to begin with. We also had to wait in line for an hour, and the smoke from the grill spread all over the place, we were coughing at our table. The whole place was full, which meant only 1 bathroom for 200 people.

    You were clearly there at an unlucky time. I've NEVER seen 200 people there. Did all the 200 arrive on a fleet of tourist busses? It's clearly not a place meant for so many customers at the same time. Even a half that would be far too many, I think. I'm a vegetarian myself, and often go for vegan options so I get the frustration with poor vegan food. If you advertise vegan options, then you really should go to the trouble of making some good vegan food; there are plenty of recipes. Haven't really ordered anything at the Cafe Regatta apart from those cinnamon buns. The smoke is inevitable, given the grill, and it really depends on the weather and how windy it is, and which way the wind blows, whether it is an inconvenience or not. Usually, there are not so many customers that you couldn't switch places if the smoke was blowing towards you. As I said, I think you were quite unlucky. There is, by the way, a row of public bathrooms near the Cafe, close to the Sibelius Monument. I get the feeling that if you were part of a tour, the tour operator hadn't really thought things through, bringing so many people to such a small cafe, and not letting you know of the bathrooms close by. I live close to the cafe, and often walk by it. There's rarely more than maybe a dozen customers there, and if I saw many more than that, I wouldn't even consider going there.
