What about sitting on the sun deck of an old steam boat to enjoy your drinks in the sunshine? At Nikolai II that’s possible. The boat that was built in Helsinki in 1903 serves as a café and restaurant since the 1980s. After having served as a tourist café at Kauppatori for several years it’s new owners moved it to Hietalahti. Now Nikolai II is more targeting towards locals. And they have a lot to offer. On four decks you can sit either in or outside and can experience the athmosphere of the boat no matter how the weather is. They are both a café and bar. So stop by to have a good cup of coffee, a fresh squeezed fruit juice or some delicious pastry or come for a beer or wine in the evening. Nikolai II is a great summer place to go.

Un bar idéal si vous avez une petite faim ou simplement envie de vous reposer au chaud sur un bateau. Les serveurs sont sympas, le bateau est chauffé(lorsqu’il fait moins de zéro, c’est appréciable !) et il y a du WIFI, que demander de plus?

The attraction is that you get to dine or have drinks in a boat at the foot of the Esplanad which is a three minute walk away. The Nikolaii is expensive, like most restaurants in Helsinki but if you go there try the salmon soup, and Nickolai’s Hot Chocolate.
