I am visiting Helsinki quite often, but so far this is best restaurant experience i ever had here. Establishment is a bit off the bitten tourists track but famous Katajanokka block is just around the corner. It's about 10-15 mins by foot from very city center or 5 mins from Market Square. Restaurant itself is very tiny, we were company... More

I had a great dinner at Kuurna! The staffs were very friendly and all with a lovely smile, I booked the table online and they replied immediately the same night, very efficient! The place is small but with very cosy atmosphere, unlike other "expensive" and "famous" restaurants, I was having dinner alone and felt like I could sit there all... More

Slightly confusing signage out front made it a bit difficult to find. However, the service was attentive and friendly, the food was good, the wine list was substantial and the price was just right. Recommended.

A long time since I have eaten in Kuurna, but I went there on the off chance the other night. Exceptional food & wine, and highly recommended. They have a small menu and cook to very high standards indeed. The atmosphere is cosy and the staff very welcoming. All in all a great experience. Although I did get in without... More

We visited this highly praised little restaurant in the Helsinki Kruununhaka district (short walk from the Senate Square) with two friends for dinner. If you do not have the exact street address you might get easily lost trying to find the place because “Kuurna”, the name of the restaurant, is not at all visible on the street, you just have...

Visited Kuurna on a frigid Monday evening with some business colleagues. The restaurant was cosy and inviting and we were made very welcome by the attentive staff. The food was simple and delicious. I particularly enjoyed the beef shin and brisket with polenta. The breads supplied were fresh and tasty - I just wish I'd left some for the cheese... More

Unassuming, 'blinck and you missit' , foodies heaven. Stone's thrown from city centre yet if you don't know it's there, you won't stumble across it accidentally. Book a table as this is a very small place. Rustic and definitely not fancy in the traditional sense. Smart casual dress code, you will feel out of place in a suit. 3-course set... More

Vent with some business associates who wanted to reexperience the place. The atmosphere was good as before but the food was not as good as usual and the price of the wine had escalated. It must be difficult to run such a small place and earn a living. Worth a try if you look for a special place to take... More

Visited Kuurna during weekend trip with family. Please ignore the ignoramus from Birmingham England. Typical of someone who comes from the curry capital of Britain! If you want a most friendly atmosphere with the best quality of food and really decent wine at a great price for Helsinki; the please do not miss out this opportunity. We have just had... More
