Blinit is it an out of the way type of place that is worth visiting if you are close. The menu is on a tablet and it is not so extensive(which is good) The crêpes(because they really are more like french crêpes than anything else) are decent and very filling. So don’t judge by the size of your dish and pick a savoury or a sweet one only. The waiter/cook wasn’t so cheerful so I knocked 1 star down. Also the place was a bit depressing although it is very colourful(red, yellow, flowers.)

Nice restaurant with excellent pancakes, really affordable for Helsinki! The place is simply decorated, but the food really worth it!

Came here to cure my hangover! Ate one savory and one sweet blini and they did the trick. Nice staff!

If you want to try the Russian version without having to take a train to Saint Petersburg you should pay a visit to Blinit. The small blini place on Sturenkatu offers blinis with sweet and salty fillings and toppings for very reasonable prices. Try e.g. the classic with roe, onions and sour crème or as dessert the one with fresh strawberries and ice crème. The blinis are made freshly and don’t disappoint. Even other Russian specialties such as pelmeni, borscht and solyanka are served here. For an inexpensive Russian snack in between this is exactly the right place.
