"This is really good. Perfect on the day after a night out. An interesting take on fries - in a good way," says Norwegian Jørgen, commenting on a bowl of chips topped with pickled gherkins.
A group of friends from Norway have chosen Helsinki for their weekend getaway.
After testing the waters of Finnish nightlife, their goal is to experience authentic Finnish cuisine. The friends have stopped by Krog Roba, a legendary restaurant and brunch spot in the Finnish capital.
The restaurant is part of Lilla Roberts, a Strawberry hotel, and serves up the most delicious lunch and brunch dishes, according to the group.
