Baker’s

Ok food. Ok service. Nothing great and overpriced. I had a steak burger that was not exactly as ordered. Even those it’s across the street from my hotel, I see no need to return.

I have to say, I’ve only had the hamburgers here and they are GOOD. AND HUGE. Whenever I’m feeling week and craving something decadent and a bit naughty, I go here and have a giant burger. The only problem is, I can never finish mine and they have a new rule about not taking leftovers home :(

One of the longest lasting clubs in Helsinki. Use cater for the older crowd (late 20’s) but now seems to be a rather young crowd.
Nothing special but an OK night out if your young and looking for a party…

decent place. don’t be put off by the cheesy ‘9.90EUR dinner offer’ huge banner over the entrance. clearly the marketing works since the place is full of cost conscious Finns, but since the over ends at 7, the place retains a nice buzz while the menu gets quite a bit more expensive. a pepper steak with decent side dishes is around EUR26, and frankly I thought it was good. It came medium rare as requested, and the gratin potatoes (and thick cut fries as well!) were delicious. we ordered several types of wine — a lovely Australian Shiraz, and an even better south African wine (EUR51) which had lovely pepper, spice and leather notes. since all was going well we ordered dessert, and I shared a chocolate cheesecake slice with a colleague. wow — the worst chocolate cake we’d ever tasted — almost no taste and a puzzling rubber consistency. I complained and the waiter (after consulting with the manager) said no refunds. This is pretty normal Finnish customer ‘service’ (though the nearby Societe du Couchon holds the local record for worst customer service) so I demanded they reconsider. They did. the place also has a sauna downstairs and a nightclub type space for later, so you could go sauna/​dinner/​cocktails/​dance without leaving the building. worth a look.
