They definitely don't skimp on salmon - large tender chunks. Soup was creamy but not too rich. A variety of bread along with whipped butter and pumpkin spread.

Inside, the café has a cozy, lively, and relaxing atmosphere that makes it an inviting place to spend time. The café offers a salmon soup buffet along with a wide selection of pastries, sandwiches, and salads. The restaurant, on the other hand, is well known for its reindeer dishes. I really loved the location, which is perfect to visit during a day of sightseeing or as a stop between exploring Helsinki. Personally, I enjoyed the café more than the restaurant. While it isn't fine dining, the café offers healthy, simple dishes and a great variety of local favorites. The restaurant has a good selection of menu options; however, aside from the reindeer dish, I found the other items to be quite salty. The service throughout our visit was very good.

We started slow bc our friends were running late - got delicious cocktail (aquafaba) and wine and an AMAZING app - with tahini "cream" and cloudberry jam and they also gave us GF bread in addition to the tandoori bread on request. That dip was SO GOOD. When friends arrived we enjoyed more drinks and every dish was outstanding. We had an amazing meal and all good w drinks and food we spent about 50 each which was reasonable for the quality and awesome flavors. Super experience and centrally located!

I bought a salad for a picnic here.

I chose two toppings, shrimps and two thick slices of chevre. The dressings were perfect, pesto and vinaigrette. There was also ceasar dressing option. Only minus was that they didn't have gluten-free bread, but I didn't need it anyway. The salad box was big, recyclable and good quality and you could get plastic fork and knife. A perfect lunch salad!

Karl Fazer Cafe is a must visit in Helsinki as it's the first cafe in Finland that Karl Fazer…read moreopened, starting the coffee trend for the country, as Finnish people are known to drink some of the most coffee in the world! And Karl Fazer is famous for being a chocolatier, so Fazer chocolate is a must try, too. Fortunately for me, Karl Fazer Cafe was located right across from my hotel, so I had easy access to chocolate and coffee here. The cafe was very popular, and what's nice is that they are open the entire day, serving meals or something lighter. They also have a chocolate shop on one side of the cafe that you can grab and go. For one of my visits here, I tried the geisha dessert, which is a specialty, along with a Fazer mocha. They were both good, and I was pleasantly surprised that the geisha dessert was a mix of chocolate and hazelnut since the lilac color threw me off, so was afraid it would be a fruity dessert. But it turned out to be better than expected. Another visit, I tried the cinnamon bun, which was solid. It wasn't the best in town, but solid - and definitely better than anything I'd ever get back home. If you're in Helsinki, Karl Fazer is a name you'll hear - and you'll need to try the famous chocolate and pay a visit to the first cafe of the country. It's easily walking distance to many sites as it's in the city center, and has outdoor seating. Glad to have checked out a place of Finnish history.

I came alone, so I didn't get one of the tables with a view, but that's just what happens with travelling alone sometimes. I made a reservation to be sure as I wanted 7pm on a Saturday night. If you like Nordic food then this place will definitely make you happy. Toast skagen to start: comes in two sizes, I took the small and it was very generous. Whitefish, pureed potatoes and cauliflower for the main. Lovely cream sauce and the potatoes and fish were perfect. I didn't like the grilled cauliflower at all. Strawberry and rhubarb fraisier for pudding even though I was already stuffed. Very good service. I would return in a minute if I ever visit Helsinki again.
