Merimakasiini - Helsinki

Fantastic find for our first dinner in Helsinki I had the Fresh Blue Muscles, the best that I have had in a VERY long time, delicious . My husband had the fish soup. It was like a French fish soup with some wonderful additions, including a bit of heat. It left my husband happily quiet for quite a while . My tiger prawn Thermidor was out of this world . The prawns were so fresh and however it was put together was soo tasty . My husband's prawn and brioche was very impressive and tasty too. We are so pleased we found this restaurant. Now our problem is to find equally good restaurants for the next few evenings. I highly recommend this restaurant for fish meals

The restaurant is little odd from outside (some naked mermaid figure? And old small building . Inside was nice and comfy for us and staff was nice but maybe one more star would be here if welcoming have been more professonal (now lady just looked us and we told that we have resevation and she just ”with name..?” ”Ok, you can go there”. Food was really nice and our waiter was nice and on time for us. 4/5 : warmly recommend also for familys.

Our family of 5 (a senior and 2 kids of 12 9) went for dinner on a Saturday night and it was a very good meal! We made reservation a few days before via TA. We didn't have a full meal as we already ate much at the market halls earlier that day. We tried the shrimps starter was huge size, and main dish, both very fresh; the mussels starter was also of a big portion and nice too; salmon soup was creamy style and small size was enough. We took a tram there from city centre and it was a bit of a walk in the snow, but still glad that we went.

One of the best meals I have had in quite awhile and the service was A 1 I would rate it an 11 out of 10. Had the Chef’s menu which was superb. I would definitely go back again and highly recommend this restaurant.

We pushed the boat out for the chef 's recommendation and matching wine. This was our most expensive meal in Helsinki at AUD300 but worth every cent. Delicious seafood, lots of it, and beauitfully matched wines. In summer you 'd be looking at boats bobbing in the marina. In April we were looking at one boat and the last scraps of sea ice. Lovely service. Ambience is 'wooden shack ', which suits the food very well.
