THE GRAND

Set along the stately boulevards of central Helsinki, The Grand Bar & Grill has quietly become Finland’s definitive destination for serious steak and elevated brasserie-style dining. In 2025, it continues to distinguish itself through exceptional sourcing, fire-driven cooking and a uniquely Nordic interpretation of the classic grillroom experience.

The space lives up to its name - handsome, warmly lit and tastefully appointed with deep leather seating, natural wood and subtle Scandinavian design flourishes that blend classic elegance with modern restraint. It’s the kind of room that feels both cosmopolitan and distinctly Finnish.

At its core, The Grand Bar & Grill is built on a world-class beef programme, featuring a curated selection of cuts from mainly Finland and beyond, with an emphasis on long-aged Northern European dairy cattle and grass-fed Nordic breeds.

Each cut is grilled over open flame or glowing coals, with a respect for fat, texture and timing that reflects serious craft.

Signature dishes include the dry-aged T-bone steak, a beautifully balanced Finnish Prime Rib on the bone and a rotating selection of rare, limited-batch cuts that speak to the kitchen’s close relationships with regional producers. Steaks arrive rested, sliced with ceremony and served alongside house-made condiments and traditional accompaniments like chimichurri or classic béarnaise.

But The Grand isn’t just about meat. The menu showcases seasonal Nordic produce, with starters such as fresh and gratinated oysters, escargots served with sourdough bread and classic beef tartare.

Service is graceful, understated and deeply informed. The staff exudes quiet professionalism, allowing guests to settle into the experience with confidence and ease.

In 2025, The Grand Bar & Grill stands as a beacon of refined carnivorous dining in the Nordics—a place where fire, sourcing and Nordic seasonality meet in perfect harmony. For those in search of a world-class steak restaurant experience with a distinctly Finnish soul, The Grand is not to be missed.
