Restaurant Finnjävel SALONKI is an intimate fine dining restaurant in central Helsinki, tucked inside the historic Kunsthalle building next to the park. The concept focuses on a contemporary interpretation of Finnish cuisine: from plating to interior design, everything is carefully built around Nordic design and respect for local traditions. The restaurant holds one Michelin star and is considered one of the key fine dining addresses in Finland for travelers who want to dive deeper into local gastronomy.
The dining room serves tasting menus only – from shorter experiences to extended journeys through different regions of the country. Dishes are built around seasonal ingredients from northern nature: game, freshwater fish, root vegetables, forest mushrooms and berries; each course nods to flavours many Finns grew up with, yet is filtered through the chef’s personal vision and modern technique. The atmosphere stays relaxed and welcoming: the service team takes time to tell the stories behind the plates, and the carefully designed interior reinforces the feeling of “an evening as a guest of Finland”.
