Food was good but I hope the restaurant will re-think the “5€ per person for water and bread”. This isn’t Italy. People are already paying a lot for the food they’re ordering; the least the restaurant can do is give free water like most restaurants in Finland. Some high end restos in Finland are even offering free bread. If the restaurant doesn’t want to do that, maybe don’t serve the bread right away without asking if people want it.

Other than that, it’s a good place for celebrating special occasions.

Wow!  Best food experience in Helsinki, BY FAR!  The most flavorful food we’ve eaten here, perfect portions, fairly priced, and fantastic service (Thanks, Josh!). And wow - the tarte dessert was worth waiting for.

If you’re looking for a unique and TASTY meal, this place delivers that and more. In fact we’re considering going back. Yes it’s that good.

Great addition to Helsinki restaurant scene. Relaxed atmosphere and host’s were friendly. Menu and special menu with daily specials such as oysters and dry aged meat from their meat fridge. Chef’s table is ready great to see how kitchen works. Fabulous open flame grill, amazingly they captured grill taste through out the menu. Drinks are really tasty and wine list extensive.
Big thumbs up; no water charge!

I had the pleasure of eating the Brasas Christmas menu and was utterly blown away. The staff were all on point and could easily suggest the right choices for us all. All the food we had was made to perfection.
Proposed wines complimented the dish and the desert was JUST the right thing.

Cozy restaurant, located in the backyard of some residential building in city center, opposite of ‘white church’, next to the restaurant Savotta. Service is very fast and good, we had surprising menu which turned to be super positive! I especially like all the mocktails came with our menu food, all are very fresh, exciting and nice! The staffs are friendly, fun and diverse group. I would go again!
