Helsinki looks completely different from above. The city opens up before you in an entirely new way when you sit far from the street-level bustle and enjoy dinner under the open sky. A rooftop terrace dinner is not just about eating — it’s an experience that stays with you for a long time.
If you’ve been looking for a venue for a special evening, whether it’s a romantic night for two, a birthday celebration, or an important business meeting, you know how difficult it can be to find a place that offers both great food and a truly stunning setting. The Hakaniemi rooftop terrace brings these two things together seamlessly.
Dinner above the rooftops of Helsinki
On the ninth floor of the Lyyra block in Hakaniemi, the views speak for themselves. From the rooftop terrace, you can see Helsinki spread out wide, and the atmosphere created by the height and the open sky makes every meal something special. This is not an ordinary restaurant evening.
The food is crafted by hand from seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, and a Franco-Nordic culinary philosophy is reflected in every dish. We use carefully selected domestic meats, fish, and vegetables, and the à la carte menu changes with the seasons. From the open kitchen, you can watch the chefs at work directly, making dinner a visual experience as well.
Wine and food in one package
The wine list focuses on European wines, including naturally produced ones, and the wine pairings curated for our menus always include a rare find from the wine cellar. You don’t need to be a wine expert to find the perfect match for your meal — we’ll help you with that.
A tailored evening designed around your wishes
The rooftop terrace is suitable for all kinds of occasions: romantic dinners, corporate events, weddings, birthdays, or any moment you want to make special. Every event is tailored to your wishes, so you won’t have to fit yourself into a ready-made mould.
As a corporate event organiser, you know how much the surroundings affect the atmosphere and how guests experience the evening. The rooftop terrace’s setting does that work for you, without you having to spend hours planning decorations. The space and the views take care of the ambiance.
Private events on the rooftop terrace
If you’d like to host a private event, the rooftop terrace provides a magnificent setting for it. Tell us your wishes and we’ll plan the evening together with you from start to finish. Food, wines, schedule, and atmosphere — everything tailored to suit you perfectly.
For wedding guests or other special occasions, the rooftop terrace offers an environment that is hard to find anywhere else in Helsinki. The ninth-floor view makes photos and memories uniquely unforgettable by default.
