BOOK A TABLE

Fired up for food

Meat, fish, seafood and vegetables. Straight from the pasture, deep seas and fertile land. We cook our food on an open fire. The fire elevates each ingredient to an entirely new level, deepening and highlighting its exquisite natural characteristics. Our food is easy to share and enjoy together.

Brasa’s open fire is burning in the historic atmosphere of the Senate Square in the heart of Helsinki. Welcome!

“We work intuitively, playing with fire.

Nothing but the best

Our ambition is clear: if something doesn’t meet our quality standards, you won’t find it on the menu. It’s as simple as that. How is this possible? We know the farmers who supply us with vegetables. We also know our suppliers of fish and seafood. They provide us with their best catch, every single day. We mainly purchase our meat from small farms. The products are carefully selected, and we dry-age the meat and fish ourselves. All our choices are guided by a burning passion to create the best possible result.

Hospitality is an attitude

“When you come to Brasa, I want you to feel welcome right away – sit back, take a breath, and let us take care of the rest. The open fire brings warmth, the kitchen serves honest, bold food, and in the dining room we make sure everything flows naturally from start to finish. I serve and lead the dining room with my own personality, and we genuinely take good care of our guests – without stiffness or unnecessary formality. Here, you’re noticed and you’re cared about. The Brasa vibe is created by people. When the team has great energy and joy in what they do, it shows and reaches the tables. I’m proud of our relaxed, rough-around-the-edges spirit – a Brasa where people linger together, enjoy themselves, and always want to come back.”
Moataz Al Rashid – Restaurant Manager

Inspiring Flame

“Cooking over an open fire is primal in the best possible way – and something we can all relate to. Our ancestors, and even our great-grandmothers just a hundred years ago, cooked over fire.
I’m inspired by the most humble ingredients. It’s amazing how fire transforms the flavor of something like a bell pepper or cabbage. And then there are those ingredients you wouldn’t even expect to grill – like honey or butter!
I like that our menu offers both comforting, familiar tastes and adventurous, new ones.
At Brasa, we want to create experiences you won’t find anywhere else. We have all the ingredients for it – unique flavors, great wines, and warm, welcoming service.”
Vladimir Semenov – Head Chef

Creatively crafted cocktails over open fire

”At Blanda, we mix cocktails that easily become the talk of the night. The ingredients pass through the open fire, giving even the classics a whole new twist. As a guest, the hardest part is choosing where to start tasting! We also have an impressive wine list, and when you’re craving something savory, the kitchen’s snacks are easy to add on. The vibe is relaxed, the playlist lifts the mood, and the night carries you along. For me, hospitality is built from small, shared moments. From behind the bar, it’s great to watch people settle in — one drink leads to another, and there’s no rush anywhere. At Blanda, laughter fills the room and shakers keep moving late into the night.”
Matias Nästi – Bar Manager

Bar Blanda

Quality wines without the stiffness

” For me, wine is above all about curiosity and constant discovery. I look for new nuances, aromas, and the terroir of a wine – its soul and character. Here, food cooked over open fire is paired with quality wines according to the dish and the mood. As a sommelier, the best moments happen when a guest dares to try something new – and the wine hits the mark and surprises. Sometimes we go with the classics, sometimes with a more modern style – always relaxed, joyful, and without any stiffness. My pride and joy, is the city’s finest wine cabinet: around 200 wines, mostly European, with gems from the New World as well. You’re warmly invited to explore and empty it, so we can fill it up again.”

Our dining rooms

Brasa’s dining rooms are our second homes – places where we can be ourselves and where we always love to go. We want our guests to be able to enjoy that same feeling – that you already miss the place a little when you are leaving.

Our main dining room, the more modern one, is located in the courtyard. It has a view of our terrace in the summer and the open fire in the kitchen. Someone has compared the atmosphere to Barcelona. Thank you!

Our dining room on the Aleksanterinkatu side, the “old side”, is located in a building with a history of almost 200 years. From its windows, you can admire a unique view: the Senate Square and Helsinki Cathedral. This dining room has a long history but is very much up to date.

In addition to the dining rooms, we have a private room (Meat Room), a cocktail bar (Blanda) and summer terraces (Burtz and Bock). A lovely combination.
