Kuu Kuu
A cosy modern bar/restaurant. Populated by local actors and artists, this newly renovated place offers easygoing, simple Finnish food. Serves food until midnight on weekdays (that is very late in Finland) and is also a nice place for drinks. Still relatively free from tourists so don't expect hearing anything else but Finnish and Swedish here (staff is still multilingual).
Mon-Fri 11:00-01:00, Sat 12:00-01:00, Sun 12:00-22:00

Benjam's Bistro
You want home made Italian cooking in Helsinki? Here it is. Benjam's is run by an Italian family. Atmosphere is cosy, but some of the food comes directly from the supermarket, tortellini and many desserts, for example.

Manala
The name may mean "Hell" and their motto "For devilish hunger and hellish thirst", but it's actually an understated white-linen-cloth restaurant serving traditional Finnish food and wood-fired pizzas.
