Restaurant Shelter

Had the 4-course menu. Everything was fresh and nicely presented — you could really tell the quality of the ingredients, with nothing hidden behind unnecessary twists. The malted bread and tartar with pickled chanterelles were definite highlights. The food was simple and elegant, though for my personal taste, some dishes could have used a bit more flavor. I think those who appreciate subtle, delicate tastes (maybe older diners) would really enjoy this place. Overall, a good experience, just not quite for me.

The service was very good. The mocktail (dark bloom) was nice. For food, we had the 4-course chef's surprise menu. They were all good. I just didn't like the pike as much as the other dishes. The sauce and veggies in the pike dish were good. The vegetarian dishes were nice. The dessert was also nice. The four star is relative to the other restaurants on the Michelin guide list that I've tried.

Had the chef 3 course menu eur59. It was delicious. The only downside is that if one from table take the 3course menu, everyone else at the table must follow suit. However the dishes can still be adjusted according to individual dietary restrictions. There is no ‘no smoking’ section if sitting outside.

Everything was super good and the atmosphere was so nice the service was great from The Croatian waiter as well as the welcome from The host were very nicely and the bread obviously is the hit since its my favorite bread ever. Thank you once again.

Excellent place with in my opinion Michelin star level orgasmic food at very reasonable prices. Also nice staff and goergous harbour views. I had the Beefsteak tartare and the scallops Carpaccio. Both were excellent and original in taste but I can extremely recommend the Scallop Carpaccio. It's the best thing I've eaten in Helsinki.

We book a table for 4 (and one dog), I come by around 17:30, we order a sparkling and wait for rest of our friends to arrive, after that we order the 4 course meal which will change mostly every times. I am pretty happy with the food, it comes with surprise and it has help me change my mind about the vegetables, they made it so simple yet so delicious (when I say simple, does not mean it easy to make 🙂) I like the atmosphere, it’s good for hangout and talk with friends here, we sit close to the window, and the light from the sun outside just good enough to make an experience in the restaurant really calm and cool One highlight that I must mention is the Finnish archipelago bread is unexpectedly AWESOME, served with brown butter. Probably one of the best I had so far. This meal cost me 86 euro (4 course + 2 wine) not expensive. It worth every cent 🙂 thanks! And we will come back again

Really lovely meal in this great restaurant right in the centre of Helsinki. Portions were just right, clean tastes and great local ingredients.

We booked the restaurant due to a recommendation. The menu consisted of three options in different courses (starters, middle, main, dessert). Why 4 stars: the food is good/very good, not superspecial though. For my taste I struggled to find a option I like, there weren't any small appetizers (like bread etc.). We enjoyed the atmosphere though and would come back again.
