Russian food has a long tradition in Helsinki and the city has a number of fine Russian restaurants.
For this book, we have chosen some of the best Helsinki restaurants by cuisine, service and price. Restaurants are divided into three groups according to the price of a main course. The main course in a gourmet restaurant will normally cost over 100 marks. The least expensive restaurants will serve a main course for less than 50 marks. The type of cuisine served is mentioned next to the name of the restaurant.
