Elegant but reasonably informal, this has a Finnish-baroque dining room where cured meat
starters precede excellent grilled meats. There's also a worthwhile tasting menu, featuring
smaller, inventive portions. The wine list is especially good, and priced fairly. The wine-
cocktail bar is very worthwhile too, particularly in summer when it migrates into the court-
yard space.

Welcoming service and an elegant but relaxed atmosphere provide a fitting backdrop for
carefully prepared Finnish cuisine that's strong on both local fish dishes, vegetarian
choices and rich, delicious meat options. The central location is another plus point. Wines
are rather pricey.
Thai Orchid THAI

11am-2pm Mon, 11am-2pm & 5pm-midnight Tue-Thu, 11am-midnight Fri & Sat; )
With a much more intriguing menu than most of the capital's southeast Asian restaurants,
this offers high-quality Thai cuisine using excellent ingredients and authentic spices. There
are various tasting menus that showcase the best on offer. The ambience is modern, sooth-
ing and classy.
Goodwin STEAK
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 050-419-8000; www.steak.fi ; Eteläranta 14;mains €25-30; 11am-11pm)
There's a lot to be said for doing one thing well, and Goodwin achieves it, with very tasty
tenderised steaks cooked carefully to order. Sauces and sides are extra, salads are tasty and
there's a long wine list with some decent reds on offer.
