6 brunch in Helsinki, editor-picked for brunch open saturday. The saturday brunch spots worth queuing for. All brunch in Helsinki.

Brasserie Lionne ★ 4.8

keskusta · Pohjoisesplanadi 37, 00100 Helsinki

Hours: Daily, breakfast and lunch

Brasserie Lionne on the Esplanadi, from the Bistro Bardot team, serves a French breakfast of silky eggs benedict and croissants from its own bakery.

Tip: The in-house bakery croissants are among the best in the centre. Reserve for weekend breakfast; the Esplanadi tables fill fast.

Way Bakery ★ 4.6

kallio · Agricolankatu 9, 00530 Helsinki

Hours: Daily, mornings to afternoon

Way Bakery in Kallio opens for Sunday brunch with sourdough toppings, granola and avocado toast, a laid-back natural-wine bakery the neighbourhood adopts.

Tip: Walk-in only and busy on Sundays, so go early. The natural-wine list is open at brunch if you want a glass with the sourdough.

Karl Fazer Café ★ 4.5

kluuvi · Kluuvikatu 3, 00100 Helsinki

Hours: Mon-Fri 07:30-22:00; Sat 09:00-22:00; Sun 10:00-20:00

The Karl Fazer Café on Kluuvikatu, Karl Fazer's 1891 confectionery, lays on a weekend brunch buffet of Finnish breakfast plates, salmon and house cakes.

Tip: Brunch runs Saturday 09:00 to 15:00 and Sunday 10:00 to 15:00; book ahead, walk-ins wait for a table when the quota is full.

Story Old Market Hall ★ 4.3

keskusta · Eteläranta 18, 00130 Helsinki

Hours: Mon-Sat 08:00-18:00

Story inside the 1889 Old Market Hall serves an easygoing breakfast and brunch of Finnish hall food with an international turn, a fine harbour morning table.

Tip: Inside Vanha Kauppahalli, so it doubles as a market visit. Mornings are calmer; the hall gets busy by midday.

Café Savoy ★ 4.2

keskusta · Eteläesplanadi 14, 00130 Helsinki

Hours: Tue-Fri 11:30-14:00, 16:30-24:00; Sat 13:30-24:00

Café Savoy, the ground-floor brasserie below the fine-dining Savoy, serves a Southern French breakfast and lunch on the Esplanadi, with summer terrace tables.

Tip: The casual face of the Savoy building. Aim for the Esplanade-facing terrace on a bright morning for the best of it.

Lykke ★ 4.0

toolo · Pohjoinen Rautatiekatu 21a, 00100 Helsinki

Hours: Daily, mornings to evening

Lykke in Etu-Töölö pours specialty coffee with an all-day breakfast and brunch plates, a relaxed cafe near the railway park that drifts into wine by evening.

Tip: Good for a slower weekday brunch away from the centre. Coffee is the strength, and the room turns into a wine bar by evening.
