Opened in December 1933, this classic Helsinki restaurant serves traditional Finnish food, from fried Baltic herring and herring platters to vorschmack and Wiener schnitzel. The signature dish is the onion steak, which Tyler Brûlé wrote about in the 1990s, bringing the place international attention. A seahorse mural decorates the dining room wall.
