My main course, a steak with bernaise sauce for €29.50, was well cooked and very tasty, and the bernaise sauce was particularly good, as were the 8 fried potato pieces served with the steak. The meat itself was nicely done, medium as requested and very tender. Since a colleague had ordered a bottle of Chianti Classico, a dependable and reasonable... More

We just walked in when we walking down Uudenmaankatu-street - almost by accident. Friendly and fast service , sensible prices and a well planned short menu. We both had fishfood - and it was surprisingly good! Nice atmosphere and people were enjoying their visit - very obviously. There are sometimes small club concerts/gigs on Saturday evenings (21oo-02oo) - could be... More

My partner and I enjoyed a great evening meal of roast reindeer for me and elk soup for my partner. The food was delicious and the service excellent. Would recommend this restaurant and is very reasonable value for Helsinki

Good value for money, proper food without fuss. Menu quite short but changes often enough.

While by no means is this place cheap, we had a great dinner. With drinks, appetizer, main course, and dessert it came to be approximately 50-60€ p.p. Th food was excellent and there wasn't too much or too little of it. Everything was fresh, tasty, and arranged beautifully. On weekends and late evenings reservation is recommended, we had early dinner... More

Rafla is nice, modern restaurant with decent food. Some dishes on the menu are really good value, and they do occassionally have special offers, which are really affordable.

Nice and relaxing setting. Excellent value for money if you go for their salads - large and tasty. When busy, service can be on the slow side. Only dissapointment with food was that after asking for rare steak (it's called 45sec steak on the menu!) I got it well-done. It was still tasty, but not the way I wanted. Even... More
