Our story – pharmacy restaurant in Helsinki

UNIQUE BRASSERIE IN AN OLD PHARMACY MILIEU

Best ingredients, innovative touch, certainty brought by experience, and classic French cuisine shake hands in a relaxed brasserie atmosphere right across the street from The National Operahouse. Personal addition to the unique surroundings is the original decor saved from the 1920s pharmacy.

As a pharmacy Carelia served locals for 70 years before it was transformed to a restaurant by Asta Nurmilaukas in 1996.

Unique atmoshere of Restaurant Carelia is a charming combination of ambience from the past, liveliness of a French brasserie as well as modern and urban feel. It has been said that a visit to Carelia feels like visiting old Vyborg, Paris and Helsinki, all at the same time.

We pride ourselves with our wine selection which is one of the best that Helsinki has to offer and delicious but simple menu along with friendly, capable and professional service.

We are looking forward to see you as our guest.
