Café and Eepos
A hidden gem. Delicious pastries, pies and buns – and books for reading. There are even glasses available for those with poor eyesight.

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

The Church in the Rock
Temppeliaukion kirkko, literally "Temple Square Church"
An atmospheric of minimalistic church, this church was literally dug out of solid rock. From above, it resembles a crashed UFO. The roof is made of 22 km of copper strips. Completed in 1969, this has become one of Helsinki's most popular attractions. Concerts are often held here thanks to the excellent acoustics.
Daily 10:00-17:00, but if services or other activities (e.g. weddings) take place the church has limited access for tourist visitors. Phone +358 (0)9 2340 5940 for a bulletin on current activities. English services on Sundays at 14:00, open to the public€5

Elite
In the 1930s, many artists, actors and other creative personalities lived in Töölö. Elite opened in 1932, and the restaurant almost instantly became a living room for them. The restaurant still has a feel from those days including paintings from the era on the walls, and some dishes are named after the famous patrons from those days.
