The location of yesterday’s dinner was “Jailbird”, located in the basement of the BestWestern Hotel (Merikasarminkatu 1a, http://www.jailbird.fi/). It’s in the premises of the old Helsinki prison and even features one room that is still showing how the old prison cells looked like. So quite an interesting scenery and different from the normal restaurants you normally visit! (And a very nice thing if you have friends/family visiting and wanna show them something different, but also good for business dinners as they have separate rooms where you are on your own.)
Foodwise it’s quite rustic – we had some steak and chicken yesterday with country potatoes, cheese filled jalapenos (loved them!) and vegetables. You can order the dishes not only “by person” as you’re used to, but they also have pots/platterns for larger groups.
