Helsinki


With big picture windows, this laid-back space is great for watching the world go by. Furnished with recycled materials, it offers generous tapas portions (such as roasted beetroot with goats' cheese), original salads (including a fantastic crab Caesar salad) and fat burgers (chicken and avocado; barbecue with apple and fennel slaw). Produce is primarily sustainably sourced.
