At Easter, we gather around good food

The days are getting longer, the sun is warming the streets, and the city is beginning to awaken to spring. Easter is the perfect time to pause for good food, loved ones, and unhurried moments together.

In Olo Collection’s restaurants in central Helsinki, Easter appears on the plate in fresh flavour pairings and surprising dishes, where passion and the joy of cooking take even familiar flavours in a more interesting direction. And when a good wine or a carefully crafted cocktail is poured into the glass, a successful evening is pretty much complete.

Book a table – spring tastes especially good with us right now!

Please note that our restaurants will be closed on 5–6 April.

All Olo Collection restaurants are located in the center of Helsinki – our passion is to make life taste better.

May 1st is a day for celebration! Our restaurants in the heart of Helsinki will be serving festive lunches and brunches with two seatings – one in the late morning and one early in the afternoon. Our summer island restaurant, Särkänlinna, will also open for the season on May Day.
Once the menus and exact times are confirmed, we’ll share them here. Come join us for the happiest day of spring!
Mom, mum, mamma, mami, mutsi, mummo, granny, nonna… whatever you call the special women in your life, bring them to dine with us on the second Sunday of May. Our central Helsinki restaurants will be serving only the very best – because nothing less would do for mothers. Särkänlinna will also host a Mother’s Day lunch.
Menus and times will be posted here by April.

Plates that make you smile, sunny terraces, chilled drinks, sparkling laughter, great vibes, fresh Finnish crayfish… Our central Helsinki restaurants and terraces are some of the very best places to spend a summer’s day. And the selection is endless!

Our beautiful summer restaurant Särkänlinna is open from early May until the end of September. In the first and last weeks of the season, it operates as a private-booking venue, and its à la carte opens in mid-May.

Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, weddings, graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, client events… whenever you need a gift idea, remember an Olo Collection gift card! It’s valid all year round and always a joy to receive.

Our joyful crayfish season kicks off every year on July 21 and continues right through to the end of September. The city’s most legendary crayfish parties have been held at Särkänlinna for over 100 years. We’ll publish the Särkänlinna crayfish menu in June – but you can book your own party right now!

Or, if you’d like to host a crayfish party in your own venue, Olo Creative Catering will create an unforgettable celebration with food, drinks, and service – anywhere in Finland, and even abroad. Request a quote and we’ll take care of the rest.

Chef’s Dinner with Top Chefs at Brasa 24.1.2026

Chef’s Dinner

Twice a year, all our head chefs gather in one kitchen to create a dinner you can’t experience anywhere else. Each Chef’s Dinner is built around a special theme and hosted in one of our central Helsinki restaurants. Menus and prices are announced about two months before each event. A ticket to a Chef’s Dinner also makes a wonderful gift for any food lover!

Truffle Weeks – Winter’s Most Luxurious Moment

Every February, our restaurants celebrate French black winter truffles – each in their own unique way.
Our truffles come from Maison Pébeyre in Southwest France, a family estate founded in 1897. Each truffle is hand-picked and carefully inspected. Known as the “black diamonds” of Périgord, their deep umami flavour and perfect texture bring structure and richness to every dish, enhancing flavours with their powerful aroma.
Details on our February 2027 truffle menus will be posted here by January.
