5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

Helsinki restaurants are expensive. The set menu costs more than 45 euros here, to which you should add drinks. But... This is a truly good restaurant. I had three sapas, each of them wonderfully well done, tasty, innovative, finely textured, then the day's main course, refreshing fried lavaret (or rather vendace) with a very smooth and delicate side dish wrapped...

Sapas are Finnish tapas and this restaurant delighted in the variety f what was offered. We elected the tasting menu which was 6 different sapas and two mans for two of us,malus two (same) desserts. All of the sapas were great, tho the "beer cheese" was a little on the bland side, the "fried" lavaret with a nettle crepe wrapped... More

This place is fairly small (less than 10 tables), but they put out great food, expertly prepared. The food was delicious, and the 'sapas' options were great. Service was good, although the kitchen seemed 'slow' to get food out. We waited nearly 40 minutes between our appetizers & main course. Only negative was ants. There were dozens of ants crawling...

I dined in this lovely restaurant with a local friend and had a very good experience. We had a selection of "sapas" with small, tasty portions of beautifully presented food. 5 sapas are enough for a light meal. On consideration of the quality of the food and that we're in Helsinki prices seem appropriate (5 sapas + two beers =... More

Juuri was chosen as the best restaurant in Finland in 2010. It is famous of its little Sapas tasters. We visited there with our family and were generally very satisfied with the food. There were many interesting combinations in the Sapas'es and most of them were delicious. Still have to say that we perhaps expected even little more - not... More

Another of these fairly recently opened mid-priced restaurants that has earned at least my respect by trying to do something original and different. Their tapas-like tasters are very good, and because that's what you're supposed to eat here, we skipped the mains. The only complaint that I would have is that the tasters are small and a bit on the... More

Absolutely excellent food and service! We took both 3 x Tapas as starters and they were fantastic. As main course we had "Slow cooked neck of wild boar with a wild boar sausage and onion pasty, beer sauce" and "Trout from Åland with country style omelette and puré of caramelized carrots". Nam nam, you need to taste yourself. Waiter's proposed... More

We were visiting Helsinki and had an opportunity to go out on a Sun evening, which is a difficult evening in Helsinki if you are looking for a nice restaurant to try out. Juuri is known for their Sapas and we decided to have 7 of them as a starter and the go with main courses. Sapas were great for... More

This frightfully clever place combines all the perceived and real positive characteristics of 21st - century cooking and the best way to enjoy it : top quality ingredients from the local production and tradition, combined with loving and thought-through care and attention, presented pseudo-casually so the focus will stay with the eating, in a setting that makes good food look...
