Kosmos - Nurmijaervi

First of all as most people point out there is indeed a cloakroom fee. It is advertised in the entrance and made perfectly clear how much it is. So really it’s a case of get over it and stop whinging about it. The food we had was absolutely delicious, freshly made and piping hot. The gentleman that looked after us was very smart and attentive without being overbearing. I’m not entirely sure it can be called a tourist trap as it is tucked away on a side street. Cost wise ? Yes probably a little more expensive than I would usually pay. But the quality easily makes up for that.

Incredibly, the views here give this restaurant excellent feedback. Are we the craziest people? We based on the reviews here and the recommendations. We went to this restaurant for dinner. Immediately they insisted on hanging out coats for a cost of 3:50 euro. When we resisted, the host said, icily, we been doing this for the last 9 years. Sure! Ripped off. The waiter stinks of disgusting cigarettes, the food was more than disgusting, the celery soup have no celery in it! The waiter fife us such a bad and moody attitudes, as if we had owed him millions of dollars or offered his family, somehow. Over all, it’s one of the worse restaurant we been in Helsinki. This restaurant is living off its past reputations. Totally self entitled and awful. Not to mentioned, It’s extremely expensive for the value. Do you self a favourite, don’t go near it.

Maybe I don’t like French cuisine because this place was awful. €18 for their 2-piece scallop starter, scallops were cooked and flavored okay but rest of the plate was meh. LOBSTER BISQUE WAS TERRIBLE. First time I’ve had it BROWN OILY. Sweetbreads also came in a BROWN Cream sauce, that whole dish was just okay. Definitely not visually pleasing either. Their Fillets of Perch plate was actually good and flavorful. Their service okay and wait time for food kind of long. I wouldn’t go back.

From the moment I walked in as a solo traveler I was welcomed by the very professional male waitstaff he knew my name even with a restaurant half full. My table was ready and I was promptly offered a welcome drink. My food came out without a wait I tried the reindeer and a fish dish both very very well prepared and full of character. I tried the creme brûlée for desert as well as a great wine. I would highly recommend this restaurant for not only the service but also the food. Thank you for a great experience

Lower than average gourmet experience ! Very expensive and poor value for money. Unfortunate ? error in bill ! tourist trap. Unworthy of its reputation.
