Our summer menu brings together Saslik’s most beloved classics and flavors inspired by the season. We have been serving authentic tastes in the heart of Helsinki since 1972, and over the years our dishes have been enjoyed by royalty, rock stars, and guests from around the world.

On our menu you will find our traditional blinis available all year round, as well as the rare delicacy of bear. Our main courses are always served in true Saslik style, straight from the grill and accompanied by generous side dishes.
