This is a nice restaurant with spectacular views. The restaurant is across the street from the Helsinki City Theatre and has wonderful floor to ceiling views of a beautiful lake that sits out front, a small marina, and the Helsinki Congress Paasitorni which is a beautiful granite building across the lake. There is a great outdoor deck and although this Café is very expensive, I would at least have a glass of cava and sit outside to take pictures.

If nothing else, go for the view. (But you will also find nice pastries).

The view of the ocean here is amazing. The coffee is ok but the atmosphere is why we come here. If you go to Helsinki, you must go here. It has the most amazing views and they even have blankets to keep you warm outside!

The glass building of Café Piritta at Tokoinranta in Hakaniemi from the late 1970s has been renovated and reopened lately. During the renovation lots of thoughts were given to the design and a good view. And the view is what makes Café Piritta special. There won’t be many other places in Helsinki where you can enjoy your coffee while looking over some of the city’s most important landmarks(e.g. Helsinki Cathedral, Central Railway Station and the National Museum) and at the same time sitting in an idyllic green surrounding next to the water. You can enjoy the view either from inside through the big glass windows or from the big summer terrace. Be aware that even though it’s not not located right in the center Café Piritta is not one of the cheapest places.
