Bastion Bistro

Best food I’ve had in years, the two girls working there were amazing servers caring a lot about me being fine. The salmon soup, the shrimp toast and the sirloin were unreal, my eyes went watery as soon as I taste them. Good local IPA beer, definitely would recommend and have nothing to say but thank you, such an amazing peaceful place. PS: massive shout out to the server who pointed me the entrance, thank you!

We had a delicious meal with lovely service. I ordered the vegetarian mushroom ravioli which was delectable. The French fries were beautifully crispy too! Highly recommend this place. Slightly off the blue route but definitely worth it and it was perfect that it was open all year round as we visited in October.

Our experience was very good! Our server was very attentive, friendly, and we liked our food. The mushroom soup was delicious and I was glad they had a vegetarian burger. Salad, bread, and tea/coffee were included with my meal and self-serve. Would return again.

We came for lunch and had the set menu which was well presented, delicious and great value for money.

The smash burger was quite okay, but the pizzas were really terrible, the first time ever I would leave pizza on the plate because of how bad it was. Can not recommend this place, although it was quite affordable at around 20 euros or less per meal.

Great I loved it. We ordered Fish with Asparagus, Salmon Soup and Pizza. All of the meals were delicious.

Went here yesterday and had such an amazing meal that we had to make the journey all the way back to the island today. With the sole purpose of coming here again! Service is slow but the food is DELICIOUS. We didn’t get any alcoholic beverages because they were exorbitantly expensive. The food however was nice and cheap, €16 for a burger and fries and a nice big lasagna for €15. The strawberry lemonade was to die for!

We had a good lunch here and they have table service which is quite rare in Finland. Our table had salmon soup, the smoked salmon pizza and some green asparagus and everything was tasty. So better than the average reviews had me expecting.

Absolutely the best food I've had in Helsinki from an Australian! Pizza, soup, burger, salads! My fussy daughter ate everything

Four of us tried to have lunch outside on Wed July 12. We were ignored most of the time. We were not served our lunch for 90 minutes. We had to ask two different times for them to check on our food. No one ever came to see how we were doing or how we enjoyed our food. They didn't bother to give us napkins. Many others groups came, ordered, were served and left before we ever got out food! The food was alright. They are not set up for people with some food allergies. It was quite a nice place to sit, as there were wires above to keep the birds away and plenty of shade.

Food was good, selection was limited, but this is a small bistro. Service was not acceptable which is why I gave it the low grade. There were four of us. We arrived and placed a food and drink order. drinks came out right away. Food took about an hour and a half to show up. Other parties arrived after us, placed orders, got their drinks and food orders and paid and left before we got our food. Because we ordered a sandwich and three salads, we did not expect this. We flagged our waiter and another waiter for updates and were told they were very busy. I could only come to the conclusion that the staff does not want to deal with foreign tourists.

Small cafe a little off the main street. Service was very friendly. The daily special lunch was veeu good. A dozen or so wines available. They also have liquor, but not a huge variety.
