Bistro Qulma — Restaurant in Helsinki sub-region

Don't let the "soup lunch" fool you. Soups are delicious and plenty. Just the soup along with the home baked bread is enough to fill you up.

You can even top up the meal with baked potatoes which were great even for a person that doesn't normally choose potatoes on the side.

Condiments for soup and bread tickle your taste buds in a good way. The house special, "Nordic explosion" hot sauce alone is worth the visit.

The only downside that I can think of is the salad. Large chunks of tomato and cucumber remind me of low quality kebab restaurant.

Could recommend to everyone. Give it a go and see how you like the best...

What are you doing? You use quality ingredients but end up doing really bland and boring food. For example, pork neck with "deep-flavoured red wine sauce" had exactly zero wine in it and equally little taste. Butter chicken? Chicken in clear, runny sauce. Wienerschnitzels totally burnt, potatoes roasted dry. Spagetti bolognese? Again, no taste whatsoever.

You can do better than that! And get rid of those ridiculous...

Tried out the lunch buffet today and was astonished by the freshness and taste of all dishes. My favourites were the veggie soup, jerusalem artichoke, tuna-salad and the delicious crispy bread ! Definitely a try when you’re in Helsinki. Afterwards I had a pleasant conversation with the owner Marc. Many thanks for this experience. Good luck and...
