A Hidden Culinary Gem in Helsinki: Sunday Brunch at Restaurant Haven

Discover a secret dining sanctuary overlooking the sea

As late summer turns into early autumn, there is no better way to experience the relaxed Nordic lifestyle than over a leisurely weekend brunch. Nestled in the heart of Helsinki’s historic South Harbor, Restaurant Haven is reopening its doors for its coveted Sunday Brunch starting August 23rd.

Stepping into Restaurant Haven feels like discovering one of Helsinki’s best-kept secrets. Located just a stone’s throw from the bustling Market Square, you enter through a discreet archway and follow the stairs up into the former residence of Sea Captain Sundman—one of the city’s oldest and most beautiful stone buildings. Inside, ornate tiled stoves, romantic dining halls, and sweeping views of the sea set the stage for an unforgettable, unhurried afternoon.

To open the new season, we are hosting two special themed brunch weekends before returning to our signature Sunday tradition, Havenly Sunday Brunch.

Aug 23 – Wellness Brunch

Start the season with a boost of fresh Nordic energy. Designed to nourish both body and spirit, this menu features light seasonal bites, refreshing vitamin shots, crisp avocado-quinoa salads, and feel-good treats that pamper your palate without compromise.
