10th place to visit was Kuurna, in the Kruunuhaka district of Helsinki. This restaurant has been here for a good while, but has recently been given new life by the couple taking over: Laura and Tom Hansen.

Episode number nine of HelsinkiEats was taking place in the bistro-setting of Baskeri & Basso (or Basbas as it is equally well known as). Basbas definitely is one of the gems of the Helsinki restaurant scene, so this was something I had been waiting for.

Wino, a quaint bistro at the middle of Kallio, was the venue for episode number 8.

Kallio is emerging as an interesting area for the Helsinki city food culture, but 2 out of the Top 50 restaurants are located here. Wino, is rated at position 20 on the Top 50 list.

Restaurant Grön comes up at the top very often whenever someone remembers their favourite restaurants in Finland. In Episode 7, we finally get an answer to get why it is so popular.

Episode number 6 took place in Restaurant Muru, the relaxed bistro with a daily changing menu that is just food for pure passion as one of the founders, Henri Alen put it.

5th episode was recorded in the classic brasserie Alexanderplats that is located conveniently by the Helsinki’s main boulevard.

For the 4th episode of HelsinkiEats podcast takes place in Restaurant Plein, which is located in the beautiful wooden built cityscape of Vallila.

In the 3rd episode of HelsinkiEats, we enjoy the 9 course menu provided by Inari. Inari stands at the #3 position of the Top 50 list, and has been honoured with Michelin star, so the expectations were really really high. Tune in to hear from the head chef Kim Mikkola and my guest Marko Klemetti.

The second episode takes place in, now TV-famous restaurant, Finnjävel, which is one of the 4 restaurants owned by Henri Alen.

My first restaurant visit after Covid-19 restrictions was relaxed was to *Yes Yes Yes Helsinki* together with Chris Moore. It was great to eat together with someone and to try something new. You see, because of Chris, this blog is now also a podcast.
