"Exposed brick and pipework give this two-roomed brasserie a rustic, slightly retro feel that chimes perfectly with its buoyant atmosphere. It’s a deservedly busy place, named after actress Brigitte Bardot and taking a similarly French outlook on culinary matters too. The extensive à la carte offers all manner of classic brasserie staples, from steak au poivre to tarte Tatin, while the 'menu du jour' provides a simpler, good value selection. The wine list has some appealing French favourites and the friendly team serve the large numbers with ease." - Michelin Inspector

"A five-minute walk back to the northern perimeter of Esplanadi will take you to Michelin-recommended Bardot, a rustic French bistro which is the perfect spot for lunch. Taking its name from French actress Brigitte Bardot, their ‘menu du jour’ offers a simple, yet sophisticated take on French bistro classics." - The MICHELIN Guide Nordic Editorial Team

The food and the service are truly amazing. We started with the Rockefeller oysters along with chips, and both were absolutely fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. For our mains, we had the entrecôte and the steak au poivre, and they were cooked to perfection, tender, and bursting with flavor. The quality of the ingredients really shines through, and everything was beautifully presented. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, making the whole dining experience smooth and enjoyable. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed evening or a special occasion.

Nice recommendations of Bone Marrow dish and soft shell crab waffle entreés which we are less used to eat, which were delicious. Their steak with pepper sauce and outstandingly great lobster pasta with umami lobster brain juice is absolutely phenomenal 🙌🏻✌🏻

Visited Bardot with my son and friends on a beautiful Saturday evening this Summer! Excellent food, superb location, friendly and knowledgeable staff with lots of wine! Wine selection is excellent and you can also ask to get pairing suggestions for your food. This is not the cheapest but guaranteed quality food in the heart of Helsinki.

Cutest little bistro with the BEST chocolate mousse. Strongly recommend! If you can please take a peak inside, the decor looks great

Upon arrival, we waited for about an hour before we were able to order drinks. Soon after, we found out that the dishes we had planned to order were not available. The main course we did receive was so overly salted that it was impossible to eat (I usually enjoy quite salty food, but even for me, it was too much). My companion left their main course uneaten. We were disappointed with the food, and the service was also slow.

Classic French style, great wine list! Friendly service a bit pricy but worth to go and try at least once!

I always love coming back here no matter how many times I visit, it never gets old. This time, we went for the 3 course lunch menu, and as always, it completely satisfied me in every way. From the presentation to the flavors, every dish felt thoughtfully crafted and full of character. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it the perfect place to enjoy a relaxed, quality meal. It’s one of those rare spots that consistently delivers an experience that keeps you wanting to return again and again.

Bardot fully deserves its Michelin 2024 status. The setting is charming, calm, and in easy walking distance to the piers and main sightseeing areas. Our meal here highlighted the local fish, but the profiteroles with comte stole the show. We enjoyed the dishes and the excellent service throughout, and we would eagerly return when in Helsinki again.
