Helsinki celebrated its 450th anniversary in the year 2000 as the European Capital of Culture. The HelsinkiMenu was initially a Capital of Culture 2000 project to spread the word that year about Finnish cuisine and introduce Finland’s high-quality ingredients and Helsinki chefs’ expertise. It proved to be one of the year’s most successful projects, and one of the few that endured to exert a long-term presence in Helsinki’s culinary scene.
The menu  will tempt you with an extensive range of Finnish cuisine and a great variety of Finnish ingredints selected to highlight the changing seasons and local characteristics.

To cellobrate Helsinki's 200 years anniversary as capitol of finland we have created  a menu that describes the russian influence in Suomenlinna.
