A Picnic break

There are lots of good lunch places in Helsinki. But sometimes you rather want it to go fast and just want to have a snack in between. You can then either decide to go for kebab, pizza or a burger or maybe rather go for something more wholesome.

Picnic has branches in whole Finland and offers a nice variety of good and quick food. They have daily changing soups and pasta dishes. You will also find delicious sandwiches and salads. Or try their baked potatoes and maybe a fresh smoothie as a dessert.

For more information on their menu and to find out where your closest Picnic is visit their website.

Salad at the theater

The Swedish Theater is one of the most prominent buildings in Helsinki. Situated between Mannerheimintie and Esplanadi the beautiful white building is easy to spot from everywhere. On the Esplanadi side it hosts Ravintola Teatteri which amongst other things offers amazing salads in their Wine & Deli area.

Those salads are probably among the best and popular ones in the center. Especially around lunch time you can have long queues here. So try to come a bit earlier or later to get your salad.

You can choose from a salad bar and pick two or more toppings. The basic salad already has lettuce, tomatoes and a piece of watermelon. Take e.g. the mango flavored chicken breast with some feta. And pick your favorite sauce as a dressing. You can also go with a traditional Caesar Salad with either chicken or shrimps.

Salads start from 9,70€ and Wine & Deli is open Mondays through Fridays from 9:00 to 22:00 and Saturdays from 11:00 to 22:00.
