Krog Madame

Perfect food, lovely terrace, nice and quite quick service. The prices are fine. I love their carpaccio and salmon tapas. Lunch is in very reasonable price as the food is so good and the location in Kamppi is central. They use high quality products and make the food look good. You get to experience new combinations and tastes, like basil panna cotta.

They have a buffet for lunch. You can pick salad+soup, salad+warm dishes, or salad+pizza of the day. Tried all of that and it was good. They also have a great terrace at the back (provided the weather is good).

Wir haben die Combo aus Tzatziki, Tomatenpesto, Hummus und Oliven mit Foccacia als Vorspeise und Pizza zum Hauptgang. Der Tzatziki ist sensationell.
Die drei Pizzen, die wir hatten, waren auch alle sehr gut und von der Portionsgröße super. Das Personal ist sehr aufmerksam und freundlich.
Tipp: unbedingt den Mittagstisch ausprobieren.

We had a great experience in Krog Madame. We sat in the terrace area and there was a DJ playing tunes outside. Great service and tasty food and wine — I will definitely go again! This is exactly the kind of place that is needed in Kamppi area!

After the well know Ravintola Martta closed a while ago the new Krog Madame opened in the same location. Former café Martta was turned into a bar and also the restaurant part got a complete make-​over. The now called bistro specializes in the Mediterranean kitchen and also has daily changing lunch offers. For 9.70 € the lunch includes a large salad buffet and table service which is quite uncommon (especially during lunch time). You can choose from four different dishes (meat, fish, vegetarian or soup).
Every night from Wednesday to Sunday from 17:00 till 02:00 it’s time for karaōke and cocktails at Krog Madame. Should you prefer it a bit more quiet in the evening then visit the bar & café area.

We stayed in Helsinki for work for a few weeks, and one night while wandering around the neighborhood near our hotel happend upon this restaurant. So good, we went back several times.
First, their cocktail list is quite interesting. I highly recommend the Gibraltar, which is a mix of jasmin, apple juice, and vodka, with a bit of basil. Sounds strange, but it was really delicious.
After ordering your main dish, there is a tapas buffet from which you can choose a variety of small dishes. Nothing special, but it was tasty.
For mains, I tried both the lamb one night, and the butternut squash risotto another. Both dishes were very good, but the lamb was the better one.
The atmosphere was very nice, and the waitstaff were very friendly. Recommend checking it out if you’re in Helsinki for a while.
