Lappi Ravintola

You can try Finnish food over here. They have moose and reindeer meat. The food was nice, we had the vegetarian lasagna and the moose and reindeer meat. The staff is also helpful. However, it was not that special and kinda expensive for what you get. I would recommend to make a reservation before you go, most of the times it is full.

First time trying Finnish food and we got to enjoy their 30th-anniversary menu. The dishes were thoughtfully prepared, and the interior felt warm and welcoming. A nice experience overall.

Proper traditional finnish cuisine, right-sized menu and kind staff. Tasty dishes, abundant portions and clear prices make it all a super positive experience. Well-suited for friends gathering or for business dinner, in a very central location. Definitely recommended as one of the best sposts in Helsinki!

If you've never eaten reindeer, this is your chance to try one of the best preparations of this meat in the city. The entire selection of dishes is exquisite and of the highest quality. It's definitely the best place to try the most traditional food in Helsinki. If I return to the city, I'll definitely return to this restaurant. Its atmosphere takes you back to the most traditional parts of the past and to the north of Finland.

The food at Lappi was absolutely incredible! Every bite was packed with flavor, and the presentation was stunning. The decor added so much to the experience—it felt like stepping into a cozy Lapland cabin with its rustic and authentic charm. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy traditional Finnish cuisine in a beautiful setting!”

Service was alright overall but food was utterly disappointing. We ordered salmon soup and sauteed reindeer. 1) Salmon soup was small (although a main) and poorly seasoned. Had to ask the waitress for salt. Not worth the price. Salmon soup at "soup+more" in the old market hall is 100x times better. 2) Reindeer was drier than hell itself. Poorly cooked and way overpriced. Potato mash was fine. At the end of the meal, the waitress did not ask us if the dinner went well/food was satisfying. Do not recommend at all. We tried various restaurants in Helsinki, and although I cannot say this one is bad, but it is clearly overrated and overpriced. Probably because of tourism.

Wonderful place if you want to try Finnish delicacy! Highly recommended for people liking exotic meat. They have very unique ambience and service was good. Don't forget to try the dessert!

After reading the reviews, I had high expectations for this restaurant and came to try the Lohikeitto. Having tried this classic Finnish salmon soup many years ago, I have made it at home many times with much success, but wanted to try it at this classic-looking Finnish restaurant to taste how it is "supposed to" taste. I regret to report that I was very disappointed. The soup had very little taste to it, other than the cream and salt, and lacked the depth of my version, in which I use pre-made fish stock as its base and pieces of fat salmon cuts. Here, it was sort of watery, I suspect they had not used stock for the base, and used lean cuts of salmon in it. I prefer fatty parts, that make the soup taste real good. It was just an average taste to be generous, especially for the €17 price tag (appetizer portion)i Mine tastes a lot better at home. I cannot imagine anyone would spend €23 for the dinner portion and be happy with this soup! I had the smoked salmon as my main dish. It tasted a lot better than the soup, partly because the quality of the smoked salmon was really high. It tasted fresh and smoky, and had the right fat content. Its visual presentation was good, the dish looked good, but again the taste was sort of two dimensional, dominated by the saltiness of the smoked salmon and the cream on the mushrooms. Not sure it was worth €30. It was not the great culinary experience dining there, and the wooden chairs made a bot uncomfortable as well. I do not think it is a place that truly represents great Finnish cuisine.
