Considering booking a Helsinki food tour? Find out what to expect, the kind of foods you’ll sample and more about why it’s a great way to see the city.
I’ve said it time and time again on this blog, but my favourite way to get to know a new place? Straight through my stomach! So what better way to understand what makes Helsinki tick than on whistle-stop tour of some culinary hotspots on Heather’s Helsinki Fork In Hand food tour?
We met our Helsinki food tour guide Heather under the Stockmann clock in the centre of the city. Heather’s not a native. Originally from Tasmania, Australia, she’s lived in Helsinki for 15 years.

We entered Bar Boulud, passed the long sophisticated bar and took our seats in the heart of the buzzy dining room. Service was friendly and it wasn’t long before we were deliberating wine options while simultaneous eyeing up every plate that appeared from the kitchen. Sky-high burgers, colourful tapas and delicious seafood aromas breezed past us, causing us to change our minds several times!
