Welcome to a summer terrace with the most iconic views in Helsinki! At the edge of Senate Square, you can stop and enjoy the summer, Empire-style architecture by Carl Ludvig Engel, and the international atmosphere of the city centre. The terrace is open 10.00–20.00 from Monday to Saturday and 11.00–17.00 on Sundays. 

Via Tribunali, Senate Square
Authentic Neapolitan pizzas straight from a Valoriani gas oven. Pizzas with crispy edges are best enjoyed with Italian drinks and the summer atmosphere of Senate Square.

La Gelateria di Via Tribunali
Local, handmade gelato and fresh sorbets from the heart of the Torikorttelit area. 

Restaurant Marga Summer Kitchen & Bar
At Restaurant Marga Summer Kitchen & Bar, you can enjoy a potato dish that has already become legendary, made with new potatoes and seasonal vegetables. The dish is complemented by smoked salmon, chorizo, bratwurst or chanterelles. The drinks menu features wines, beers, non-alcoholic options and, to top it all off, the sparkling Helsinki Spritz.

Sofia Helsinki Summer Café
Sofia Summer Café serves cinnamon rolls baked at the café, coffee made from freshly ground beans, refreshing summer drinks and delicious bread rolls on the terrace. If you are craving something sweet, you can try the blueberry pie, for example.

Helsinki Bryggeri Brewhouse
Helsinki Bryggeri serves its own range of beers at Senate Square, from lager to pale ale and wheat beer. The selection of drinks also features wines and cocktails, and you can sate your hunger with schiacciata-style toasts filled with smoked pastrami, cold-smoked salmon or aubergine.
