Katajanokan Kasino - Helsinki

Excellent place for private meetings and party. Unique decoration and historic atmosphere. Food is delicious.

A delightful milieu and a lovely old building, the restaurant hosts large events. In light of that, I expected them to have serving large parties simultaneously down to a T. The main course, pictured, was a lovely piece of fish, but it was just slightly overcooked and its skin was not crispy, probably as a result of waiting. Otherwise, the food was perfect.

It was a corporate event, and I would appreciate the food, wine and vodka served during the dinner. Especially both types of vodka were tasty, the blank wine was awesome, fruity. The fish on the main course was accompanied with veggies and nice sauce. However, cocktails were terribly prepared. For example, aperol spritz was made just with aperol and water and a little bit of wine, no tonic soda fruits. Nearby the restaurant there is a nice terrace to walk by.

A very beautiful venue in nice surroundings. Yet it seems to rely on its historical fame. The cuisine was good (probably excellent sometime in the past) but not up to the expected standard. The interior could profit from a renovation. The service was very friendly.

Built by Russian military officers. Great place for meetings and parties. Open only by order and agreement.
