I really didn\u2019t eat much during the two nights I was here in Helsinki. During the first night, I was jetlagged and could not find anything to eat that was open late at night. Two months ago, I wrote Lessons I Learned From Visiting Four Different Countries in Four Days<\/a> which included Helsinki. I wrote how expensive food this is a guide on pretty much how to eat for less in Helsinki.<\/p>\n

For example, a beer can cost 4.90 euros and a chicken burrito for a whopping 12.4 euros! Salmon soup can be had for 9.2 euros. If you\u2019re thinking what I\u2019m thinking, these are highway robbery prices and that\u2019s exactly what most restaurant establishments charge.<\/p>\n

\"helsinkieats\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, there are dining alternatives such as kebabs, pizza, and even Subway.<\/p>\n

\"helsinkieats1\"<\/a> \"helsinkieats2\"<\/a> \"helsinkieats3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Many Finns also express outrage for the high costs and many of them cook at home. If you visit supermarkets, you can find packaged sandwiches for less than 2 euros which is a bargain.<\/p>\n

\"helsinkieats4\"<\/a> \"helsinkieats5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Street food is also cheap and will cost 3 euros or under.<\/p>\n

\"helsinkieats6\"<\/a> \"helsinkieats7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finnish sweet bread is also for sale at many bakeries and vendors throughout Helsinki.<\/p>\n

\"helsinkieats8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can buy delicious gelato from Movenpick from beneath the Stockmann retail shopping center.<\/p>\n

\"helsinkieats9\"<\/a> \"helsinkieats10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had some amazing Baltic Herring at the Baltic Herring Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"helsinkieats13\"<\/a> \"helsinkieats14\"<\/a> \"helsinkieats11\"<\/a> \"helsinkieats12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The best deal to be had in terms of food has got to be at a buffet. There are pizza buffets and it includes unlimited helpings of pizza, salad, and soup. It\u2019s the best bang for your buck in Helsinki for 7.90 euros.<\/p>\n

\"helsinkieats15\"<\/a> \"helsinkieats17\"<\/a> \"helsinkieats16\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next time I visit Helsinki, I will be sure to visit proper sit down restaurants at the right time of day to enjoy Finnish cuisine.<\/p>\n
