Dinner with a view in Helsinki
Few cities blend food, design and scenery as effortlessly as Helsinki. Here, dinner often comes with a view — of the harbour, the city skyline or even the open skies above the runway. Whether you’re visiting for business, romance or simply good food, these three Strawberry restaurants pair Nordic flavours with unforgettable settings.
Clarion Hotel® Helsinki Airport
1. Sky-high dining at Brasserie NÒR
Where: Clarion Hotel® Helsinki Airport, Taivastie 3, Vantaa
Perfect for: Business travellers, aviation fans, special occasions
At Brasserie NÒR, dinner really does take flight. From the 12th floor of Clarion Hotel Helsinki Airport, diners enjoy sweeping views over the runways and the wide northern sky. The atmosphere is refined yet relaxed, with Nordic brasserie dishes rooted in Finnish ingredients and enriched by European influences.
Insider tip: Book a table around sunset — the light over the airfield is spectacular. If you have an early flight, this is the ideal “last dinner in Finland” before strolling straight to the terminal.
Clarion Hotel® Helsinki
2. Harbour views at The Social Bar & Bistro
Where: Clarion Hotel® Helsinki, Tyynenmerenkatu 2, Jätkäsaari
Perfect for: Locals, hotel guests, sea lovers
Set right on the harbourfront in Jätkäsaari, The Social Bar & Bistro serves modern bistro dishes with views of ferries moving in and out of the port. The atmosphere is lively and relaxed, making it perfect for casual dinners, after-work drinks or a long evening by the water.
Insider tip: After dinner, take the lift up to Skyroom on the 16th floor. With floor-to-ceiling windows and sea-to-sky panoramas, it’s one of the best places in Helsinki to watch the sunset.
Home Hotel Katajanokka
3. Delicious meals in historic settings at Linnankellari
Where: Home Hotel Katajanokka, Merikasarminkatu 1 A, Helsinki
Perfect for: Couples, culture lovers, atmospheric dining
Dinner at Linnankellari is an experience unlike anything else in Helsinki. Located in the cellar of a former prison, the restaurant serves rustic Nordic dishes beneath thick stone vaults. While the dining room itself is below ground, the surrounding Katajanokka peninsula — moments from the sea — offers a scenic stroll before or after your meal.
Insider tip: In summer, dine in the leafy inner courtyard while the chefs fire up the grill — a hidden oasis just minutes from the city centre.
