- Has a restaurant, cafe and bar. Cafe was a relaxing place to enjoy a lighter dinner salad and soup with live music. Prices were surprisingly affordable considering the location.Upvoted 5 days ago
- Rosie SällströmFebruary 24, 2014Nice feel to it, especially on a winter evening when you can watch the traffic go by in the dark, whilst cosying up inside where it is nicely lit. Good coffee! I will definitely come back soon :)
- Mario De Frutos GonzálezJanuary 11, 2015Typical place, really nice and located. You can enjoy the most famous place in the city, with charmed atmosphere. Taste a Salmon Soup and look at the city from the other side of the window.
- Dutched Pinay TravelsFebruary 15, 2014An institution in Helsinki, one must come here to enjoy the beautiful ambiance indoors or outdoors. They have a separate asparagus menu card during spring. Read more
- Markel CabasaMay 2, 2013when you finished your finnish tour, this is the place! free wi-fi and you don't need to ask for any password... highly recommended!
- Try the a la carte outdoors, one of the best things downtown Helsinki can offer in summer time. The fish plate appetizer is great
- Olesya StepanchukJanuary 14, 2018The best Salomon soup I have ever tested! Price 12€. Big portion. Qualified personnel.
- Raphael CantafaroAugust 27, 2015Duck. Ask for the duck! Perfectly done with amazing service. If you drink wine will be about 100 euros for two, but well spent.
- Emily JenkinsAugust 7, 2017Came here for a quick lunch- had to sit in the bistro area because we didn't have a reservation, which was a lot less attractive than the rest of the place. Food was pretty good, heavy for lunch!
- An WuDecember 17, 2017It’s not very cozy place, as it is quite big and has bar, cafe and restaurant. Coffee and cakes are great.
- Tero AngeriaMarch 30, 2018Great ambience.. Beautiful old building serving very nice food. Try out the blinis..
- Interior recently fully renovated to its original glory. Great ambience and highly civilised atmosphere. Very nice Café-restaurant indeed.
- Timo MuttonenDecember 4, 2015Nice cafe and restaurant in the Esplanade Park. The one of the oldest restaurant in Helsinki.
- Dirk GotzmannMay 17, 2016Wonderful atmosphere combined with good food and excellent service. Always a good place to go.
- Szymon KukanowAugust 12, 2013A great surprise when kinda coffee/lunch place during the day time turns into a club later in the night. Both ways very nice.
- Margot BloomsteinSeptember 9, 2013See if you can get a table in one of the little corner turrets—and order the smoked salmon for a dinner with no regrets.
- Sea view, great service, electricity available on many tables. Enough space for a tiny portable office. Lepounit number one for a busy day.
- Mirela YordanovaNovember 21, 2014Must do in Helsinki! But you can definitely skip the food. Go for a coffee :)
- Beautiful building, beautiful interior and beautiful views. Friendly service.
- Timo KontioJuly 27, 2012At summertime JazzEspa presents you high quality live jazz music while you sip champagne in the terrace. Superb!
- Константин ВизувийSeptember 9, 2012When taking capuchino, ask big size cup! The difference in compare with classic one is really grate, cost 50 cent more.
- The cafe part also serves some snacks, sandwiches, etc. if you need a quick eat rather than a longer sit-down in the restaurant side.
- Kemal YJuly 10, 2013It has a beautiful decoration. Very expensive but good for having a coffee and small pastries
- Kai-En LohJune 2, 2013Perhaps it's Sunday evening, the service is really a bit slow and very laid back, almost as if they don't want more business despite having a lot of empty seats
- Nice place to have beer and listen some music. Check www.espanlava.fi for bands. Crowded at nice weather.
- Mariana RodriguesMarch 25, 2016Quick lunch - still expensive but good. Only place open during holidays
