Suomenlinna Brewery — Restaurant in Helsinki sub-region

I went to this restaurant for lunch, excited to try their beers and hoping for a good experience with friends. While the beer list was impressive and the staff were friendly, the food, especially for a vegan customer, was shockingly poor.

I ordered the "Cauliflower Steak with Chanterelles", which turned out to be little more than a poshly decorated plate of boiled vegetables. A slice of lightly fried cauliflower sat on top of plain potatoes, with a tiny portion of mushrooms and a basic tomato sauce. There was no effort to include any vegan protein, no balance to the dish. I even had to ask for some bread as it was not offered on the side. For a dish priced at €25, this was genuinely a rip-off.

Because the dish was so light and nutritionally empty, I couldn’t even enjoy nor finish my beer. In the end, I spent €32 and left hungry, frustrated, and regretting the experience entirely.

This may be a great spot for beer lovers who eat everything, but for vegetarians or vegans, I strongly advise looking elsewhere. This was, hands down, one of the worst meals I’ve had during my stay...

We arrived at a busy time in the evening, the restaurant was almost full, and the staff was under resourced, it took time to get attention of the waitresses in the beginning. We had a table reservation, and after being sited everything went smoothly. Dishes were prepared well, service was friendly, atmosphere very nice. Sometimes you can see that a few summer workers are a bit lacking experience, there were few clumsy moments, for that a small minus. Otherwise it was all quite nice, let the photos speak for themselves. We didn’t leave hungry, the time was spent nicely! P.S. Red wine selection is too limited, almost bad. Cheap wines are overpriced. But among those 3-4 choices there is a very pleasant surprise- Chianti Riserva is moderately priced and a good quality wine, for the wine lovers that would be my...

Super calm and cozy restaurant with really good vibes! We went to have lunch there today because it was recommanded to us and it was delicious! I had one of the beer they brew right on the island and it was light and fruity, for the main course I had the reindeer and it was tender and well cooked! With carrots and potatoes, it was perfectly sized! The amount of meat is generous and you would want to lick the plate because the sauce is sooooo delicious! I couldn't take desert after that! You can go without hesitation! Plus, they speak really...
