Restaurant, Helsinki, Finland (reviewed February, 2006)

Zetor – Über-Finnish

If you want to get a culture shock and a glimpse of the idyllic mental image of old times Finnish countryside, go to restaurant Zetor. The restaurant is famous for its traditional Finnish meals, very funky decor, and really odd menus — you have to be careful to understand what you are ordering in reality. Fortunately, the waiters are glad to help.

The decoration is worth of a few mentions. The place looks sort of a old Finnish barn and there are several real tractors (Zetors) used as tables. The walls are covered with Finnish countryside memorabilia that probably does not open to you unless you have a native Finn explaining the nuances.

As a sidenote, the food is also good.

Zetor is located on a prime spot in Helsinki center, between the railway station and Stockmann department store.
