Fisken på Disken Helsinki

The best fish restaurant

Markus from Helsinki

"The guys at "Fisken på Disken" in Helsinki say a decent fish restaurant must have a perfect tartar - I must say, they have nailed it."

Fisken på Disken, freely translated as "the fish is on the table", is one of the most interesting new restaurants in Helsinki, and is its first oyster bar and fish restaurant. The food comes from below sea level while the place is located high above in the Kortteli foodie court on the 5th floor of the Kamppi Shopping Center in the city center of Helsinki.

Kortteli is not a regular shopping mall food court, but actually a deli foodie court. The whole 5th floor includes 10 different restaurants and Fisken på Disken is located in the middle of it.

The guys at Fisken på Disken say a decent fish restaurant must have a perfect tartar and I must say they have nailed it. Meat lovers need not be disappointed, as there is at least one meat option on the menu as well. As for vegetarians, there are not too many options, but the chefs are always happy to prepare even a 5-course fully vegetarian tasting menu.

All in all, Fisken på Disken is a fine place for many different purposes. You can have a tasty lunch break or a tasting menu, stop by for a glass of sparkling wine and an oyster at the bar or have their pike perch fish 'n' chips for a relaxed dinner.

Helsinki Spotter Markus

About me I am a tech savvy foodie. During the day I work in the hospitality industry and in my free time I run a Helsinki based food media ‘heleats’ with a couple of friends. I love to eat so I am the go-to-guy if you are looking for tips on where to eat or drink. I love both top notch Michelin restaurants as well as street food. I always try to support the locals since there are so many great local ingredients, food products and companies coming from Helsinki. I think highly positive of everything and I make things happen. I truly believe obstacle is the way and I am always...

Pub Sirdie

The old school Kallio classic

"Pub Sirdie" in Helsinki is the only place for me to feel the Kallio spirit in its original form! This pub has a true cult following, and for good reason!

Leipomo K. E. Avikainen

Traditional bakery

"Leipomo K. E. Avikainen" (est. 1950) is one of the few remaining traditional Helsinki bakeries. They also sell Karelian pies, which makes me happy!
