Ravintola Gui — Restaurant in Helsinki sub-region

I was staying at Hilton Helsinki Vantaa that houses this restaurant.

I was served dinner by Ms Nadia, and based on my queries and her suggestions I ordered tomato soup, which came in fairly quickly and it's exactly how it should have been on an absurdly cold night, hot, creamy and tangy. It was my first meal after a rather long flight and the soup was as soothing as ever. It helped me to calm my nerves that was all on edge due to the biting cold. I felt this on the first spoonful of the soup.

And for the main course, again as per Ms. Nadia' suggestion I went for grilled salmon which she told would be served with Brussel sprouts and beetroot puree. Prior to this I had had salmon many times, but not anything like this, for whatever reasons the salmon went superbly well with the crunchy Brussel sprouts and beetroot puree.

It was an absolute delightful supper which was only made better by her exceptional service and patience in explaining each item and what went into each dish.

Very reasonably priced.

Breakfast buffet is quite extensive, the mushrooms with baby potatoes and pepper was really good. I never knew something so simple could taste so good. Thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast as well which was part of my package.

Great place for a quick stop over, right outside the Helsinki Vantaa Airport.

Highly...

Friendly service saved otherwise disappointing dinner. After hearing positive reviews I was disappointed to discover that the food at the Gia was average at best. I had skagen for a starter and it was okay maybe a little bit salty. The big disappointment was the steak I had for the main. I ordered mine medium rare but was served a bland and dry piece of meat that was closer to well done. I wouldn’t go as far as call it rubbery but that wasn’t far off. And really at these prices you’d expect much more than that.

It’s too bad that food failed the Gia as the restaurant milieu was very nice and service...

This is in the Hilton and is a pretty standard hotel restaurant. The food was good to very good, however the menu options were limited. Kind of pricey but Norwegian Airlines (who cancelled our flight) was paying, so we didn't care! Good service although they were shutting down for the night and we lost our server for quite a while. They are open late.

Not sure I would make a special trip to go there but if you are at the airport or the Hilton, it is a...
