Blue Peter has a great location by the sea. They have a buffet lunch but the quality varies. I would go for a drink or coffee and sit outside by the sea, watching the boats.

One of my favorite restaurants! Awesome sushi buffet, really fresh and wide variety. Lunch buffet is 15,90 e and dinner buffet 19,90 e. Well worth the money.

Ok, so this place is not very pretty, but the pizzas are the best (and cheap beer). Try the pizza with smetana on top. Don't wear fancy clothes.

Great, but busy cafe in the center. You have to order blueberry pie or something else sweet here! Sit outside and people-watch, but watch out for the seagulls.

Mattolaituri is our go-to afterwork place in the summer. It is not cheap but the view is amazing. Take a drink and eat somewhere else.

Awesome pizza! You have to buy a boat ticket (approx. 6 e) to get there but it's worth it. Order a pizza and a glass of wine and listen to the seagulls. Heaven.

Drinks & Nightlife
Small cocktail bar, my favorite in Helsinki! Great atmosphere and lovely drinks. Prepare to pay min. 12,50 e/person. It is a small place so go early or be prepared to wait for a seat.
