Wellamo has anchored a quiet Katajanokka corner since 1975, with a chef-led team cooking seasonal Nordic plates from local producers in an unhurried room.
OrderThe seasonal set of plates; the kitchen leans on small Finnish producers through the year.
TipOne of the older neighbourhood rooms in the city, on a residential Katajanokka street. Calm, local and reservation-friendly.
Kuurna on Meritullinkatu is a small, long-running Kruununhaka bistro whose short menu changes every three weeks around Finnish regional ingredients.
OrderThe fixed menu of the moment; it rolls over every three weeks so regulars never repeat a dinner.
TipTiny and popular in quiet Kruununhaka. The rotating menu and fair prices are why locals keep the tables full; book ahead.
Elite in Töölö has been the artists' restaurant since 1932, its walls hung with paintings, serving Finnish classics like vorschmack and fried Baltic herring.
OrderVorschmack, the minced-meat hash, or the platter of fried Baltic herring with mash.
TipThe terrace and the artist-portrait walls are the draw as much as the food. A living room for Helsinki's cultural set since 1932.

305 on Toinen linja in Kallio holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand for inventive seasonal cooking and natural wine, run by chefs Janne Keskevaari and Dani Hänninen.
OrderWhatever the short seasonal menu offers; the natural-wine list is the real draw.
