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.

Easy to just be and enjoy

“I want everyone to feel welcome here, so that when you arrive, you can just sit back and enjoy. Here at Brasa, we make sure that the service works and the food is exactly as it should be. We always have an open fire burning here and a good, warm atmosphere. Personally, I think it’s important that the staff feel well and are proud of their work and competence. That kind of atmosphere can be sensed, and everyone feels good to be here.”
Veera Vahtera – Restaurant Manager

A primal aroma sparks conversation

“Fire is a primal element that brings a fascinating twist to cooking. Cooking on an open fire requires repetitions, so that you learn when the heat is right for the desired result, as fire cannot be adjusted in the same manner as a cooker. I want food to inspire emotions and conversations. Above all, food and a visit to a restaurant should be a pleasure. Here at Brasa, this is easily achieved: we have a highly professional team, good food and a unique location in ‘Old Helsinki’, where even the locals can feel like tourists in the best possible way.”
Mikko Pakola – Head Chef

Brasa’s bar is on fire!

With great attention to detail, our cocktail bar serves both passers-by and guests. We have two entrances: straight from the street (Aleksanterinkatu) and from Brasa’s dining rooms. Our cocktail bar keeps up with the times – globally and locally. Our drinks reflect the season, with wonderfully strong, fresh and crisp flavours. Our kitchen adds a bit to the blends – with smoke and heat naturally. Sit back, relax and let us take care of your evening!

Bar Blanda

For the love of wine

Our restaurant at Aleksanterinkatu 22 has the most gorgeous wine cabinet in town. Naturally, we serve classics such as Burgundy, Piemonte and Mosel, but true to its style, Brasa is not confined to traditions. Our experienced sommelier is innovative and finds the perfect pair for everything, be it a dish or a state of mind. We are always updating our wine selection with new additions, from classics to new natural wines, with great passion and expertise. Explore our selection and find your perfect match!

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 wine bar (Blanda) and summer terraces (Burtz and Bock). A lovely combination.

You can also reserve our facilities for private use. Request a quote!
