Loung3

Very cool place in hip Kallio district! Perfect for having dinner or just taking a drink (try «Made in Kallio»!).
We had starters (delicious) that were ideal to share and the Burger (16 Euro). Overall prices really ok for Helsinki. Wonderful quality and atmosphere, very nice staff.
Definitely a recommendation.

Loung3 is a cool, fresh restaurant new to the Kallio scene. Remarkably nice atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff. The prices are reasonable, too — enjoyed a cheeseburger & fries following Unilocaler Henrik E’s review! The tasty meal only set me back 16 EUR — lots of value and I left Loung3 feeling like I got my money’s worth. A lot of their meals are shareable, too. I warmly recommend dropping by Loung3 if you’re if in the ‘hood!

This mix of a bar and restaurant is located in the half-​hip neighborhood of Kallio and I can see why the have opened here. It is not a big place but they are using the space efficiently so they can still seat around 25 people inside and they also have a few tables outside for the short and unreliable Finnish summer. The place is simple in its design but does have the modern Nordic feel to it but perhaps a bit rougher than normal to fit in to the Kallio atmosphere.
The menu is pretty short and is split it small dishes (made to share), a few mains and desserts. There is also a short but fairly nice list of beverages (wine, beer and cocktails). The food was not at all bad but nothing spectacular either. The highlights was the buffalo mozzarella with pesto and the truffle sauce with french fries. Decent deal for lunch with € 10 for 2 small dishes and french fries. I would perhaps not return for dinner but could imagine popping in for a snack and a drink as I liked the atmosphere and the staff were very friendly.
