Seasonal Nordic dishes, fresh local ingredients, creative flavour pairings


"I'd like to visit Bona Fide in Kruunuhaka near downtown and the sea because I've heard a lot of praise for its warm, welcoming service and creative, expertly crafted flavour pairings; their menus change with the seasons and their four-course menu is affordable at under €50." - Elizabeth Winter
"Located midway between Helsinki Cathedral and the sea, is this simple little bistro decorated in blue and white tones, where the welcoming service team help to create an upbeat atmosphere. Two regularly changing, keenly priced set menus are the draw, with the natural, uncomplicated dishes inspired by modern Mediterranean flavours. The chefs have a great understanding of their ingredients and treat them with care, and flavours are subtle but put together in well-thought-out combinations, such as asparagus and nori seaweed or rhubarb with Earl Grey and lemongrass." - Michelin Inspector
"Bona Fide is a 10-minute walk inland from Tervasaari. Leaning more towards Nordic simplicity than the Russian extravagance, its seasonal menu takes the freshest local ingredients and transforms them into delicious dishes." - The MICHELIN Guide Nordic Editorial Team
