Food & Restaurants - Finland is most famous for its salmon, and drinking a bowl of hot salmon cream soup at minus 10 degrees Celsius is one of life's great pleasures. There is an old market hall near the cathedral, which contains many restaurants, which are much cheaper than the restaurants outside the street. * Want to go to Finnishburg to specially take a boat, this time we rushed to Santa Claus Village did not go, if you want to go to Finnishburg is best to expect two days chill chill walk, because such cold weather can not walk so long outside, and mobile phones will quickly run out of battery 😢 #FinlandTravel #NordicTravel #Helsinki

One of the most popular spots in Helsinki! Introducing the Old Market Hall, a recommended tourist spot where you can also enjoy eating and walking around! ⭐️What is the Old Market Hall? Helsinki's "Old Market Hall (Vanha Kauppahalli)" is the oldest indoor market in Finland, opened in 1889, and is located along Eteläranta Street in the center of Helsinki. This building was designed by architect Gustav Nystrom and built at the end of the 19th century with the aim of improving hygiene standards and orderly markets. Initially, outdoor markets were the norm, but the introduction of indoor markets improved the efficiency of food preservation and trading. Today, the Old Market Hall is lined with about 20 stores, offering a wide selection of local ingredients and specialties, including fresh seafood, meat, dairy products, spices, coffee, and tea. There is also a liquor store "Alko" on the premises, which is popular with tourists and locals alike. Particularly popular are the stores that serve traditional Finnish dishes such as salmon soup and fish sandwiches! There's also an ice cream shop and a shop serving Turkish baked potatoes, kumpir! It's a spot worth visiting where you can enjoy Finnish food culture and local specialties in a historical atmosphere. 🫶 📍Location: Eteläranta, 00130 Helsinki, Finland #0 yen trip

A soup specialty shop that is very popular with tourists in Helsinki! Introducing "SOUP+MORE Vanha Kauppahalli" where you can eat all the bread you want! ⭐️Review A popular soup shop. There was a small line at lunchtime. The shop is small, so it's a bit difficult to find a seat. You can take as much bread as you want and use herb olive oil as much as you like. The bread is cold and a little dry, but the absorption rate of the soup is good. It's like a sponge 🧽 You can get another spoon for an extra 2 euros, so if you come with two people, I recommend sharing one. It's a pretty big and filling soup. The soup itself is smooth, and the salmon has a fluffy texture. Personally, I prefer a rich taste, and I think it would have been better if the onions in the soup were not included. The rhubarb lemonade I ordered as an extra was very sour and delicious. I won't be returning, but it will be a great souvenir of my trip. The price is cheap, so it's especially reasonable if you share. Highly recommended for budget travelers! 📍Location: Eteläranta 1, 00130 Helsinki, Finland #0 yen trip

After visiting the nearby cathedral in the sub-zero weather, I came indoors to have a delicious meal and felt very happy. The first half of the market is food from other countries, and the second half is raw seafood or authentic Finnish restaurants. I highly recommend the salmon sandwich and salmon soup. I ate here for two consecutive days. The price is about 6 euros per serving, which is quite cheap compared to other Finnish restaurants.

Located in a small sheltered bay from the market, it is housed in a red brick building, the Vanha Kauppahalli. "The city by the water" is said to be a Finnish tradition that has continued since the 17th century. It opened its doors as early as 1889. For more than 100 years, I have witnessed changes in the political, economic and food trade in Finland. Architect Gustaf Nystrm borrowed from the interior market design of many other major European cities at the time, which ultimately made the building itself a beautiful tourist landscape. There are 64 counters in the market, each with a length of 2 meters and a depth of 2 meters. Together with the central activity area and the aisle, the total area is about 1000 square meters. All the counters in the room are uniformly decorated, the wooden carvings are in the shape of the facade, the color is classical, and the names of the shops are written in the door, which is uniform. The market is designed with a wide slewing center and a free WC. The most market stores are seafood stores. Finland is a paradise for fish lovers. Salmon, Baltic herring, squid and freshwater squid are delicious. The method of cooking is smoked, open fire, steamed and steamed. In addition, raw and salted are also very popular. Finland's extensive forests provide the best conditions for tasting such as reindeer meat and snow chicken. The best way to cook reindeer is to simmer and simmer until the corresponding heat is cooked. The meat is thick and sour, accompanied by sweet and sour Red plum sauce and mashed potatoes are mouth watering. There are also some Nordic-style handicraft shops, especially like the life style of Nordic style goods, it is no wonder that so many people like to visit IKEA
