Café Ekberg – Continental charm

Café Ekberg on Bulevardi is one of the traditional cafés in Helsinki — they have been established during the Russian era, and for most parts have stayed the same during all these years.

The café is famous for the buffer breakfasts, and city dwellers with enough money and time usually start their day there. To be perfectly honest, I was expecting a little more — I’m probably been spoiled by the Finnish hotels’ breakfasts that have several dozens of items. The breakfast was not bad, but somewhat limited (maybe to 20 different items). The price is not bad, less than €10, and the atmosphere is very nice — especially during the summer.

During the day and evening, the café is also a good place to hang out and watch people on Bulevardi.
