Absolutely the best food I've had in Helsinki from an Australian! Pizza, soup, burger, salads! My fussy daughter ate everything

Four of us tried to have lunch outside on Wed July 12. We were ignored most of the time. We were not served our lunch for 90 minutes. We had to ask two different times for them to check on our food. No one ever came to see how we were doing or how we enjoyed our food. They didn't bother to give us napkins. Many others groups came, ordered, were served and left before we ever got out food! The food was alright. They are not set up for people with some food allergies. It was quite a nice place to sit, as there were wires above to keep the birds away and plenty of shade. read more

Food was good, selection was limited, but this is a small bistro. Service was not acceptable which is why I gave it the low grade. There were four of us. We arrived and placed a food and drink order. drinks came out right away. Food took about an hour and a half to show up. Other parties arrived after us, placed orders, got their drinks and food orders and paid and left before we got our food. Because we ordered a sandwich and three salads, we did not expect this. We flagged our waiter and another waiter for updates and were told they were very busy. I could only come to the conclusion that the staff does not want to deal with foreign tourists. read more
