LASIPALATSI RESTAURANT
The Lasipalatsi building was originally built in the 1930´s to serve as a temporary bazaar. After years of glory and some years of degradation, Lasipalatsi underwent a complete renovation and reopened its doors last autumn. The architects restored the original functionalist style of the building with pure white walls, large windows, interiors with warm colours and delighful little details. Neon lights on the wall outside have been characteristic of the building right from the beginning. Nowadays Lasipalatsi hosts a movie theatre, a library, a tv-studio, a media centre, a restaurant and three cafés among others.

The legendary Lasipalatsi restaurant is situated on the first floor of the Lasipalatsi building. The restaurant seats 250; it also has a bar, two cabinets, and a Winter Garden which is refurbished to its 1930´s style with live palm trees. The à la carte menu reveals Finnish traditions with fresh domestic raw materials, combined with international influences. The Chef´s specialities Lamb Vorschmack and Pike perch á la Mannerheim are definately worth tasting! Lunch is served everyday between 11 am - 2.30 pm: selection varies from three-course meals to certain dishes on the à la carte menu. The cabinets and the Winter Garden can also be rented out for private use: business meetings, private dinners and family celebrations.

At Café Lasipalatsi on the street level you can take a break over a cup of coffee and watch hectic city life through the window. The Café offers refreshements, snacks, lunch and a large selection of coffee brands. Later in the spring two terraces will be opened on both sides of the Lasipalatsi building.
