Do you want to organize a celebration that your guests will be talking about for years to come? The choice of venue matters more than any other detail. When the space is truly unique, the atmosphere creates itself.
Helsinki’s rooftop terrace offers something that few event venues can promise: an open sky, a panoramic view of the city, and a refined dining experience all in one package. If you’re looking for a rooftop restaurant to serve as the stage for a private event or celebration, you’ve come to the right place.
Helsinki’s Rooftop Terrace as a Venue for Private Events
Located on the ninth floor of the Lyyra block in Hakaniemi, this rooftop terrace is one of the few places in Helsinki where you can combine first-class food with breathtaking views above the city’s rooftops. The space is perfectly suited for private dinners, weddings, birthday celebrations, and corporate events.
The space has been designed for versatility. You can reserve the entire rooftop terrace exclusively for your own use, or utilize part of it depending on the nature of your event. This flexibility means that both an intimate private dinner and a larger corporate event can be accommodated in the same space.
What Makes a Rooftop Event Special?
An ordinary event venue is four walls and a ceiling. A rooftop terrace is something entirely different: fresh open air, an open sky, and a view that simply cannot be recreated indoors. Guests remember the atmosphere because it is genuinely rare.
Hosting an event in an elevated outdoor space also naturally creates a relaxed and open ambiance. People unwind, conversations flow freely, and the moments stay with you. It is one of those things that sets an ordinary evening apart from an unforgettable celebration.
A Tailored Menu and French Cuisine for Your Celebration
The food at your celebration should never be an afterthought. When the menu has been designed specifically for your event, it shows on the plate and is felt around the table. We tailor every event menu to your wishes, so you never have to settle for ready-made packages.
Our kitchen combines French bistro culture with a Nordic philosophy. We use carefully selected domestic seasonal ingredients, including meat, fish, and vegetables, all prepared by hand. This means that what arrives on your guests’ plates is always fresh, high quality, and chosen at precisely the right time of year.
Wines That Complete the Experience
Beyond the food, the wine list is an integral part of the experience. Our wine list focuses on European wines, including naturally produced options. The wine pairings compiled for our menus always include a rare find from our wine cellar, giving your guests the opportunity to taste something that cannot be found just anywhere.
When the food, wine, and setting are all at the same level, the overall experience of the event rises to an entirely different category. That is the difference between organizing a party and creating a truly memorable experience.
Events for Which the Rooftop Terrace Is Ideal
- Private dinners for small or larger groups
- Weddings and wedding receptions in a unique outdoor setting
- Corporate events and team celebrations
- Birthday parties and other personal milestone celebrations
