Finnish gastro culture embodies the unique Nordic ethos of the country. Every Finnish specialty reflects the country’s natural abundance and generosity of Finns. As the climate is cold, with severe winters and long autumn months, traditional Finnish food is rich, substantive, and focused on seasonal local ingredients. Most restaurants promore the farm-to-table approach ensuring exceptional freshness and high nutritional quality of the food they serve. Seafood is the cornerstone of the local diet, as Helsinki benefits from its coastal location by the Gulf of Finland.
