8 editor picks in Helsinki.
8 wine bar places in Helsinki we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Helsinki | Wine Bar across every city.
The wine bar has become one of Helsinki's defining recent food trends, often blurring into proper restaurant cooking. BasBas Kulma in Punavuori and Wino in Kallio lead the low-intervention, natural-leaning wave, while Flor in Ullanlinna and Muru Wine Bar on Lönnrotinkatu in Kamppi back deep lists with serious small plates.
Wine Bar Apotek fills the cabinets of a former pharmacy with organic family-grower wines, grower Champagnes and Burgundies, an award-winning list.
TipThe old apothecary cabinets now hold the bottles. Glasses run roughly 12 to 18 euros; the grower Champagnes are the move.
BasBas Kulma is the walk-in sibling of the Baskeri & Basso group, a corner counter pouring a dozen-odd glasses with a strong French natural bent.
TipGlasses run about 11 to 16 euros. Easier to walk into than the parent bistro; the corner counter is first-come.
Wino near Karhupuisto in Kallio is a restaurant and natural-wine bar with a weekly changing list of Old World bottles and a short seasonal kitchen.
TipThe by-the-glass table rotates every week. The kitchen runs hits like beef tartare and pumpkin ravioli; book for weekend tables.
Flor on Korkeavuorenkatu carries David Alberti's all-natural philosophy into a small Ullanlinna food-and-wine bar of seasonal organic plates.
TipAll natural, no exceptions, with a tight seasonal kitchen alongside. Small room south of the design district, so reserve.
Muru Wine Bar sits around the corner from the bistro Muru, pouring a daily-changing glass list from a 750-bottle cellar, with charcuterie and plates.
TipThe by-the-glass board changes daily; the full list runs to hundreds of bottles. Cold cuts and risotto come from the sister kitchen.
Lykke in Etu-Töölö shifts from morning coffee to an evening wine-and-snacks bar, with a glass-friendly European list served near the railway park.
TipBy night it is a relaxed wine-and-snacks room rather than a cafe. Good before or after an event at the nearby opera.
Wine Bar Klaava on Meritullinkatu comes from the Kuurna team, pouring classic and low-intervention wines with small snacks in a calm Kruununhaka room.
TipRight beside Restaurant Kuurna, run by the same people. A relaxed glass-and-snacks room moving between classics and natural bottles.
Wino in Kallio keeps pouring Old World natural wine and small plates until midnight on weekends, a late, low-lit option for a glass and a bite by Karhupuisto.
OrderNatural wine and small plates
TipKitchen runs to 10pm, wine to midnight on weekends. A calmer late option than the bars, with beef tartare and ravioli on offer.
