NooraDecember 7, 2012One of the best dining experiences I've had in Helsinki. Relaxed atmosphere, great service and fantastic food. Book your table early, the weekends are often booked full months in advance.Upvote3Downvote
Jesse LiukkonenMay 7, 2017I visited here for a business dinner and everything was just perfect! Great service and delicious food. I liked the wine pairings a lot. Have to come back here some other time with my wife.

Kristoffer LawsonSeptember 17, 2014Went based on recommendations but disappointed. Price was high for what you get with some items tasting positively industrial, though with some excellent exceptions. The staff were very friendly.Upvote2Downvote
MailiinaMarch 27, 2018Ask the sommelier to recommend wine matching your food, or take the 4-course menu with wines. Excelllent combinations!

Rabia YılmazApril 9, 2017Excellent staff, nice but a little too dark interior, salty artichoke risotto. Excellent chocolate dessert!UpvoteDownvote

Piritta MaavuoriSeptember 2, 2014Like its younger sibling, Pastis, Muru is a jewel. Relaxed, yet refined. Great tastes, friendly personnel. Love it.UpvoteDownvote
Just order the menu of the day, sit back and enjoy. Repeat as often as you can.Upvote5Downvote

The menu changes daily. Just go for it, IT will be perfect. The wines are perfectly matched.UpvoteDownvote

Tuomas PönniSeptember 28, 2011Wine selection is extraordinary! Ask for a small tasting as/with the dessert for example as we didUpvoteDownvote
H@nAugust 7, 2016Disappointed, really basic food and taste! Not like I don't understand what's "simple" food. With same price or even lower I could have a nice meal in Juuri or prefer pay more&get surprised in Spis.UpvoteDownvote
Rachel WebberAugust 17, 2012They'll tell you they have no tables (which is true) but they do reserve a few "bar tables" at the front for walk-ins.Upvote5Downvote
Marc SkvorcAugust 17, 2011Niki is tremendois with wine recommendations! Go if only for that!UpvoteDownvote
Have a glas of champagne and the charcuteries in the bar!Upvote1Downvote

JasminMarch 9, 2022Rakastin sitä paljon. Enemmän kuin klassinen ranskalainen ravintola. Ateriat ovat herkullisia. Valikko on rikas. Hinta on normaali. Viinivalikoima on erittäin runsas. Tehdä varaus.UpvoteDownvote
Oskari SaariNovember 4, 2011Kaverit tekee isolla sydämellä hyvää safkaa. Loistava palvelu, välitön, "epäsuomalainen" fiilis.UpvoteDownvote
