Back in February I was on a trip to Helsinki in Finland for a few days for work. I was staying at the Scandic Hotel Simonkenttä in the heart of the city. Though I did go to Momotoko for a number of meals, one evening our Finnish colleagues treated us to a meal at the Ravintola Sea Horse. We were eating from a set menu, with a range of choices.
For my starter I had the Shrimp Sandwich. This was a traditional open sandwich which was beautifully presented.
For the main course I had a Finnish Sirloin Steak. I did like the idea of the fish main course, but I had fish for my lunch, so fancied something different. This arrived and was presented on potatoes with onions, pickles, and sour cream.
It was lovely tender piece of steak and I liked the potatoes and other accompaniments.
For my dessert I had the frozen cranberries and hot caramel sauce, this was, well it was interesting, I really didn’t like it that much.
It was nice to have some Finnish cuisine in Helsinki.
