My favorite restaurant in Suomenlinna island. Super cozy courtyard and good food.
The best café in Suomenlinna. If you want to stay over night on the island, they have a stunning appartment called Villa Silo. Ask about it in the café or book online.

Hip and youthful. A lot of pubs and vintage shops and the most hip nightclubs are in this neighbourhood. The area is partly rowdy.
