Fodor's Expert Review Saari

There's the flavor of Hyannis Port and the Kennedys in this lovely restaurant—stunning views of yachts and mansions and other islands in the Baltic Sea abound. The boat trip to this island (€6 added to the bill for the ferry trip there and back) from the Ursininlaituri jetty only takes a few minutes, and it's well worth it. Given its location, the maritime theme here is obvious enough, but it's not overwhelming or tacky. A great starter is the assortment of archipelago appetizers, with roast lamb and alder-smoked salmon fillet choices for the main course. A full vegetarian menu is available. Like other island restaurants in Helsinki, Saari is a popular venue for the traditional late-summer, often vodka-fueled crayfish party.
