Fisken på Disken
The name means "The fish on the table" in Swedish, and the restaurant indeed focuses almost exclusively on fish and seafood. Located on the fifth floor of the Kamppi shopping centre amongst other restaurants, easy to find as it's right next to the escalators. Rather crowded so reservations are recommended, although not mandatory. Try the fish and chips, available at €16.

Tavastia/Semifinal
One of the most prominent rock clubs in Scandinavia, a must see for fans of live rock of any kind. Semifinal has smaller indie/alternative bands for a young crowd. On special nights the two clubs are joined, but usually they host separate gigs. Tickets for all gigs can be bought in advance from the Tiketti ticket sellers next door. The annual Tavastia new year party is an institution in itself, with fans flying from all over the world for the show. The space at Tavastia consists of two distinct halls with a door between them. One of them is the main music venue consisting of the main stage and a large space for the audience on two floors, the other has the cloakroom and the bar. The bar has a pretty basic selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks but no food. Note that while the bar has comfortable seats and tables, the main music venue is pretty much standing room only.
