This one’s a bit of a trendy place that a lot of people go to. That’s quite understandable though, because the Cock is actually really nice and the food is good. So it does have the recipe for success figured out. I know that several of my food blog colleagues love it and my feelings towards this place are also warm and fuzzy. 

I’ve heard such great things about the breakfast, but have not yet experienced it first hand. That’s the downside of working from home, you never really go anywhere for breakfast. But I do have experience in the dinner service and á la carte and I do approve. The beetroot salad with goat cheese was so delicious and the tartar steak was convincing as a main dish. That’s already the second time this year I’ve had tartar. Hmm… 

The real reason why this place makes it onto my list of favorite places in Helsinki is pure and simple. They have a dessert buffet! How could one not like a thing like that? Imagine having to choose from a great list of desserts and you just can’t make up your mind? Now you don’t have to. You just sample a bit of everything and then make another round and have more of your favorites. And then you might end up doing yet another round although your brain is already saying “enough”.
