A relaxed old establishment located a bit out of the center. In the guidebook I had, the Seahorse was described as an old sailors' eatery. Maybe that was its past, but today the place is packed with local Finns, students, families, couples and businessmen. They must be used to tourists since their site offers a menu in Japanese. However on the evening we managed to get a table, we were probably the only ones talking English. The Seahorse serves seafood specialties as expected, but also serves classic Finnish dishes like meatballs, reindeer steak, herring and salmon soup. We didn't order the meatballs but I did spot them on the way to another table. The serving seemed to consist of only two but they were seriously over-sized. The grilled fish of the day on the table next to us also looked spectacular. I had the soup which had generous large chunks of salmon and a succulent reindeer steak with berry sauce. If you visit their website you can see an interesting page on the history of this place. They've been in business since 1934!
