While the location is prima and the place has a nice atmosphere, two things unfortunately make the…read moreexperience sub par: the food is not good, and at least in our case the service was not amazing, but that was because there was a person in work learning. The food is lukewarm and probably prepared somewhere else and just thrown into a fryer at the kitchen. Cheese is disgusting and nachos are wet, hamburger steak has a structure of a shoeheel and fries are merely warmish. Service guy barely spoke, and the lady charged extra for starters guacamole while the main course had guacamole as much as we would have wanted. Unfortunately Helsinki has only very few Mexican places and this one is the one that somehow survived throughout the years, but nothing in the food or service letsnus understand why it is so. Avoid.

We also had the 3 tapas of olives, goat cheese w/berry sauce and a meatball. I enjoyed the olives but I don't like goat cheese. It wasn't strong goat cheese but was paired well with the sauce. My friend had the burger. Thick small patty but was slightly undercooked to our liking. It was a rare vs a medium rare. We ate around it and still enjoyed it. They also had a dark and heavy-bodied iPA called Two Devil? It was yummy and definitely a meal itself. The seating is fun and plenty with a lower and upper level balcony area. Would I return? Yes, with a huge group of friends! Such a fun atmosphere with all the wall art.

The neighborhood of Kallio is has probably the highest density of bars and pubs in whole Helsinki…read more One of the most famous places here is Café Talo. This trendy location is a café and restaurant during the day. Try for example their daily changing lunch offers that include their really nice salad buffet. Talo is also a great place for drinks in the evening. You can find a nice spot for you and your friends on one of their two levels. It gets pretty crowded during the weekends though. So if you plan on going there you better be early. Also check their website for upcoming events. Talo also hosts movie nights, gigs and other cultural events. If you just want to find a cheap pub in Kallio Café Talo is not the place for you. But if you are searching for a lively bar with a great atmosphere you just found it.

Luckily I found Morrison's only 3 blocks from our hotel (Hotel Kamp). The menu has something for everyone. They have a good selection of appetizers like mozzarella sticks and loaded fries. The burger list is extensive including chicken and plant-based burgers. There is also a good selection of beer and some wine. I had the weiner schnitzel which was excellent! The burgers were all great and huge. There were also salads and other options. There is a kids menu with burgers, chicken fingers, and pasta. Heads up...the kids burgers are not small! All servers spoke English and were extremely nice to us. The drinks and food came out in a good time. The location is like a small restaurant/diner style. There were about 15-20 tables and there was a large table for our party of 8. Still water was free for the table and they had Pepsi products (the only thing I would change!!). They also do take-away. We loved Morrison's so much that we ate there again on our last night in Helsinki. If you are in the mood for good "American" style food in Helsinki, Morrison's is exactly what you are looking for! We were so jetlagged that I forgot pictures of the food...sorry!!!
