Ravintola Emo

We went for a late lunch and it was a really good choice. The food and the service were outstanding. Wine suggestion was excellent. The salmon was perfectly cooked, and the starting soup was full of flavour. I recommend taking alsont he dessert. We would like to come back for dinner in one of our next visits to Helsinki.

Emo is a surprise find, despite its casual bistro settings, dishes here are seriously prepared, close to fine dining level. The octopus was so good we ordered a second plate. Recommended.

Incredible food experience. We went during the week for a lunch menu, and both the service and the food were amazing. Our favourite spot in Helsinki.

Find another restaurant to eat at!!! Extremely overpriced for the quality of food you get. We ordered the tasting menu for two and it was an absolute disappointment. The starters were mostly OK at best. They were followed by gnocchi with truffles, and it was just an oily mess with literally burnt mushrooms. As for the mains, the duck breast was cooked in all the wrong ways by someone who has no ideas how to render the fat on a duck breast or give it a crispy layer while leaving the meat itself tender. The duck meat was SUPER CHEWY, and it was a challenge to cut by a knife. Having returned it to the kitchen because it is not eatable, the chef argued back that it was "made to perfection". Thankfully, the waiter offered a fish replacement, which was overcooked, but at least did not require to break my jaw to chew. Very sad to know that such an amateur person works at a supposedly fine dining place. The dessert was also absolutely rushed and way too sweet. All in all paid 280 euros to have a 40-euro kind of experience with such underwhelming flavors and lack of technique. Do yourself a favor and go eat somewhere else.

Excellent tastes with moderate prices (Helsinki level). Staff know their stuff with a relaxed and friendly style. Try the snacks in the picture. Also venison was brilliant.

One of the best restaurants in Helsinki! The 6 course menu was wonderful, everything tasted really good and the choice of wine was excellent. Not cheap, but this taste experience will forget that...

Really good food!! The pasta was particulary great. We liked everything a lot. The desert "Blueberry" had a funny consistency and was a highlight :) Excellent service and wine recommendations

The place is sublime, the atmosphere is gentle and you immediately feel at ease. It was a wonderful culinary experience, and the wines offered with the dishes were very good choices. The staff were very pleasant and this dinner will remain one of my fondest memories of my trip to Helsinki.
