In a beautiful historic district of Helsinki, opposite the Old Market, two top-class fish restaurants are located in an old building.
The cozy and stylish 'Sundmans Krog' and the more refined 'G. W. Sundmans' each occupy half of the first floor of the "Sundmans House," which was designed back in 1817 by architect Carl Engel, who created almost the entire historic center of Helsinki. The client and first owner of the building was the merchant and seafarer Gustav Wilhelm Sundmans, who made a significant contribution to the development of the capital's port and Finland's trade connections.
The first floor of houses of that era was traditionally reserved for shops or cafes. Sundmans' heirs preserved this tradition by opening a cafe and a restaurant with the best wine cellar in Finland here.
At 'Sundmans Krog' and 'G. W. Sundmans' you will find a huge selection of fish delicacies, from the simplest dishes made from herring beloved by the Finns to refined culinary masterpieces made from rare varieties of fish and shellfish.
'Sundmans Krog' stands out for its more casual atmosphere and prices. It is pleasant to relax and have a bite here after a walk through the old quarters of the city or meet friends for lunch. In the neighboring restaurant, you can enjoy a magnificent romantic or business dinner in a classic setting.
The Sundmans wine cellar is famed for its exceptionally wide selection of wines, including rare and valuable varieties. The sommelier will help you choose a wine that pairs perfectly with your dish. So a wonderful dinner is guaranteed!
