Ateljé Finne

We had a delightful small post/conference dinner here. Quality of food and drink was excellent and the service impeccable with great sense of humour. Try the licorice crème brûlée…!

Overall a lovely restaurant. Great for nut allergy as no dishes actively contain nuts. Food and service lovely. Busy until late so recommend booking. Starter: Whitefish. Was really light and summery. Well prepared fish with only a subtle rhubarb taste (which I really liked as I’m not a massive rhubarb fan) Main: Reindeer. Really love. Again light but really tasty. Loved the mayo with the garlic oil. Dessert: White chocolate moose. Lovely. Again light and airy. Cons - Very noisy when the restaurant is full so quite hard to have dinner conversation - No air con so very hot in the warm weather

Excelent quality of food and extremely tasty. Probably the best meal I had in Helsinki. Great ambiance, quiet and really attentive waiters.

A clear highlight of the Helsinki-trip. Atelié Finne delivered an excellent evening: outstanding pork belly, top-level service, very good food and wine, and a dessert that fully delivered. A restaurant we would happily return to.

We grabbed a reservation for our first night in Helsinki & weren’t disappointed. We both did the 3 course meal and wine pairings and everything we had was outstanding. Great depth of flavor, clearly using fresh local ingredients, and the wine pairings were terrific in adding to the meal. The staff were friendly & answered all of our questions about various ingredients for our first time visiting Finland. Highly recommend Ateljé!

Nov2022. I had eaten here 10years ago during a previous stop in Helsinki. My second experience was even better than my souvenirs. Amazing food and service. The menu is short, but that’s what you want. It features nice variations around Finnish gastronomy. One thing blew my mind away. A fish dish (pike perch). It’s generally easy to impress with meat dishes as the power of flavors is so strong, and fish dishes can appear a bit bland. Well not at all in this restaurant - this fish fish was a concerto of suble flavors, purely succulent. Bravo!

The food was in general great but somehow the celeriac soup and the lovage sauce together with the pike were slightly too sweet for my taste. Staff was attentive and nice. We had a great evening.

The food was simply amazing. Special thanks for the pike-perch (kuha) dish. The wine pairing with the food was spot on as well If I had improve something: I would have liked to hear more detailed introductions for the wines and why they were chosen to be paired with the dishes

Had a fabulous three course dinner here. Food: melts in your mouth. The place: cozy but elegant atmosphere. Service: knowledgeable and attentive. Would eat here every night if it was possible.

Came here while visiting Helsinki in the Winter and I had a great time trying some innovative Finnish cuisine. I tried a few dishes and they were great, however it's definitely not my taste. The service was amazing and the waiters guided us through the process. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the atmosphere is lovely - quaint, relaxed, and not too loud! For my first time trying some Finnish fine dining, I loved it!

I really loved all of our dishes and the staff was so friendly! Plus, 3 courses for €42 was very reasonable given the quality, portion size, and service. There are several vegetarian options. The Summer Salad was a mix of grilled and pickled vegetables with toasted nuts. It looked simple but the flavors were complex. I enjoyed the vegetable croquette, which was more than filling, and came on a bed of string beans and tomato, with some house pickles on the side. My boy was very happy with the beef special, which was cooked perfectly. The cheeses were excellent, as were the "summer berries", which had a very nordic flavor. Though the atmosphere is fairly casual, you'll likely need a reservation.

We got our order taken 3 times and waited 2 hours with no food in the table. We had to ask twice to get the wine we ordered. The restaurant was not busy to the point where it would explain such delays. It's the first time I leave a restaurant before the food comes. We had 1 day in Helsinki and wanted to have a good evening with good food and wine and that got taken away from us by incompetence.

Read about this on tasteofsundays.com blog and loved it! Fantastic experience and food and service were both fabulous! Our starters (goat cheese and leek pie and fennel and olives) were creative and delicious! Mains were even better, Char and Veal Wallenberg. We only spent a day in Helsinki, and we made the right choice for dinner! Helsinki is a very warm, friendly, and welcoming place. Thank you Atelje!

Great lovely food especially to tomato soup, summer salad and fish of the day (white fish). The dessert cheese plate could have had a local cheese as opposed to ones from Holland, Italy and France. Service was good and I love the custom of asking for your check which allowed us to enjoy our dinner and conversation. Small (6-8 tables of 4 on the main floor and a private loft area. US embassies Bruce Oreck was there dining in the loft with some other blokes when we were there last night.

What an experience. Come here if you want very good, very high end Finnish fare. It's beautiful, fresh, and the ambience is artsy and romantic. The service is spot-on. The food is very good. I love this place. It's also very romantic, if you're out to impress.

Cozy and laid back atmosphere and good food. The service is friendly and very unpretentious. Funny decoration - there was a stuffed duck next to our table :)

Let's be honest, restaurant wait staff in Helsinki are not good. (Finns agree and can't figure out why. Whatever.) But, here at Ateljé Finne, this isn't the case. The head waitress is excellent insofar as her knowledge of the food and wine pairings, all with a very nice manner. Of course, there are new staff members that are learning, but with the right attitude in place. So many restaurants here in Helsinki serve food that one could easily match or exceed in their own kitchens. The food at Ateljé Finneis goes beyond this with a clear understanding of melding excellent ingredients with culinary expertise: consistently enjoyable with a constant change in choices. (I sometimes think that the chefs here are actually having fun making the food for their customers!) Yeah, five stars because of the staff, who are exceptional (not just for Helsinki) and that is why I keep coming back and recommend to others. When I get the bill at the end of the meal, I always feel it was worth it. They are busy so reservations are recommended.

Entree was flavorless and bland. I barely ate it and they did not even ask if something was wrong. For the price point there is much better in this amazing city.

Everything was exactly as it should be. Our waiter was very pleasant, knowledgeable and only appeared out of nowhere when we needed him. The cold soup is to die for. My only regret is that we didn't spend a bit more on a nicer wine.
