Suomenlinna Brewery

We enjoyed our summer dinner quite a lot. We arrived at a busy time in the evening, the restaurant was almost full, and the staff was under resourced, it took time to get attention of the waitresses in the beginning. We had a table reservation, and after being sited everything went smoothly. Dishes were prepared well, service was friendly, atmosphere very nice. Sometimes you can see that a few summer workers are a bit lacking experience, there were few clumsy moments, for that a small minus. Otherwise it was all quite nice, let the photos speak for themselves. We didn’t leave hungry, the time was spent nicely! P.S. Red wine selection is too limited, almost bad. Cheap wines are overpriced. But among those 3-4 choices there is a very pleasant surprise- Chianti Riserva is moderately priced and a good quality wine, for the wine lovers that would be my recommendation

I went to this restaurant for lunch, excited to try their beers and hoping for a good experience with friends. While the beer list was impressive and the staff were friendly, the food, especially for a vegan customer, was shockingly poor. I ordered the "Cauliflower Steak with Chanterelles", which turned out to be little more than a poshly decorated plate of boiled vegetables. A slice of lightly fried cauliflower sat on top of plain potatoes, with a tiny portion of mushrooms and a basic tomato sauce. There was no effort to include any vegan protein, no balance to the dish. I even had to ask for some bread as it was not offered on the side. For a dish priced at €25, this was genuinely a rip-off. Because the dish was so light and nutritionally empty, I couldn’t even enjoy nor finish my beer. In the end, I spent €32 and left hungry, frustrated, and regretting the experience entirely. This may be a great spot for beer lovers who eat everything, but for vegetarians or vegans, I strongly advise looking elsewhere. This was, hands down, one of the worst meals I’ve had during my stay in Helsinki.

We loved salmon soup. However, this is few euros more in comparison with other local restaurants in Helsinki. Staff haven’t been professional at all. Was not happy I am paying cash. Because she hasn’t had enough change at the till. It was weekend. Should be busy and they should be well prepared. Not that I had 500Euro note either.

After a walking tour of Suomenlinna, we met a large group of colleagues for dinner. I ordered the Cauliflower patty which was pretty flavourless. Other diners at the restaurant really enjoyed their meals though so it might just be a case of vegetarian options not being as well thought out. Service, ambiance and wine was all great.

Caveat: we visited during the “off season” and the place was almost empty. With that said, our server was fast and very friendly! The food was perfection; I had the burger and my wife had the fish. I also got the lager they make themselves. It was a great beer! Overall an excellent experience!

I only had time for one alko shot waiting for the ferry, yet I really loved the atmosphere 🖤

The food was great, we enjoyed a buffet setting with a big group of 50 people. The restaurant itself looks a bit unorganized and could use a Finishing touch ;). The terrace in the sun was nice, a pity that they parked the car between the tables.

Had a team day there, including breakfast, lunch and afternoon coffee. Loved the old architecture and atmosphere. The staff was also most pleasant. Food was simple and good. Would give the place another try for food + beverage with friends.

Taking a ferry trip to an island almost exclusively for tourists did not promise to yield great food and beverages, but this place wildly exceeded expectations. It's nothing overly fancy inside, but the staff made us feel right at home. The menu is full of Finnish delights; do try the game platter (the bear salami is unique). We got a sampler of the beer, all of which we enjoyed. If you need a change of scenery while in Helsinki, take a short ride over here and work up an appetite walking the island.

We had dinner at the Brewery terrace. My Swiss friend got to taste a reindeer meal, which he said, was amazingly good. Meat well done and soft. I had the mushroom risotto, which was excellent also. Food was good but quite expensive. Reindeer 29€. Also drinks, beer & a glass of wine, were pricey. Service was very friendly from one person and quite rude from an another.
