Zetor

Come before 8pm for a great meal before it turns into a club /​noisy bar. We had excellent reindeer sandwich, salmon soup, steak. They have beer and cider on draft and homemade berry wines. Complimentary water and bread. Comparable pricing to the area. Appetizers are in the 10 € range and entrees 25 – 35 €. Service was nice and food came pretty fast (around 18:00). Free wifi. Great selection of local cuisine and fresh ingredients. Cool place themed with old tractor memorabilia.

We entered the place at 8:10. We were told by a security guard that after 8PM we have to pay for coat check, which is costly 3 euros a pop. Let me add this: the jackets we were wearing were literally thin enough to be shirts — not coats.
I understand policy. But he was so incredibly rude about the entire process, basically saying: pay or get out. I’m still not sure if Zetor is a restaurant or a US airport…
There has to be a more customer friendly way of conveying this. Where is the signage? There were literally tons of people sitting in the dining area with coats covering their chairs — do they not understand how upsetting that is when you’re being told by a security guard on a power trip that you can’t come in with your jacket when there are literally tons of coat within plain sight?
Regrettably, we decided to pay the ridiculous fee and tried to just enjoy our meal. But our overly aggressive waiter, whose jokes in English were borderline mocking, made sure that that wasn’t going to happen. You know that uncle who can’t let go of a shi**y joke? Yeah. That was him. With a Finnish accent.
Half-​way through dinner he was changed out, presumably because he just found out that he had been cast in some aggro-​comedy hour. But the damage had already been done.
Frankly, this is one of the most egregious wastes of money I’ve ever experienced. Avoid this overly expensive tourist trap at all costs and go somewhere else!

Unique Finnish decoration with casual environment and fresh food. The dessert gave me a big surprise.

Yep, it’s kitschy and touristy, but they also sling some nice Finnish food (and plenty of other choices) for a pretty reasonable price. We enjoyed our meal here and it didn’t break the bank. The silliness of the tractors and other décor added to the charm.

Acudí a este lugar por dos motivos; Kaurismäki y los tractores y sin esperar demasiado de la comida. Al entrar, reconozco que me entró un poco de miedo, ya que el lugar resulta demasiado temático y ya se sabe que en estos sitios…
Me equivoqué, en contra de todo pronóstico, la comida es bastante buena y abundante y la selección de comida tradicional finesa es muy amplia.
Mencionar que el menú está en muchísimos idiomas, además, el encargado, habla español y la atención es estupenda.
Es un lugar que quizás no sea para ir habitualmente, pero si te gustan los temas que he mencionado arriba, es de visita obligada y además no sales con la sensación de que te han engañado, para nada.
Por poner una pega, creo que la música debería de ser más acorde al lugar (rural).

WOW, Super Atmosphäre zwischen all den alten Landmaschinen und anderen Gegenständen aus der guten alten Zeit. Essen ist sehr gut, Preise sind ortsüblich hoch. Den Herren empfehle ich in jedem Falle einen Gang auf die interessant gestalteteToilette :-) obs bei den Damen analog aussieht, weiß ich mangels weiblicher Begleitung leider nicht…

A lovely place with a quirky décor.
My comments should be taken as an outsider visiting Helsinki.
Firstly, service was great and timely. Very helpful staff. When meals came, there was lots of cooperation to help the server so that everyone had their meal at the same time.
I started with the soup which was excellent and very tasty.
My main dish was reindeer (what else was I going to order in Helsinki?) and it was amazing. Medium rare and so good not gamey at all which is what I was initially worried about.
The meal was accompanied by the lingonberry wine which was sweet, almost ice wine like, and went with the meal well.
Finally we finished with a melted cheese desert which was delicious.
The wallpaper in the bathrooms are «interesting»! If you are there past 10pm, you can meet some really cool locals on the very active dance floor!
What a night! Made that evening in Helsinki a whole lot of fun.

Special place. Auditory is mainly people 40+ or 50+. Has kind of discothèque in the evenings — music is typical Finnish. Bar is ok, we haven’t tried food so.

Wow! I think this place is so cool
As for the food — the menus are hilarious (cool named dishes) but I must say, it was a bit hard to eat in the dark. This is not for the picky or gourmet gums. They serve generous traditional dishes.
I love love love the décor! If you don’t want to eat, just go here for a couple of drinks! They serve Lonkka on tap! Yay! Have a couple of them!
A definite must on your stay in Helsinki!
