Trocadero Helsinki

Perfect for early or late lunch

""Trocadero" restaurant Helsinki is a perfect spot for early or late lunch - because it is so popular. The cold buffet for starters is the best in the city."

Trocadero is perfect for early or late lunch because it is so popular. There are only around 20 seats so Trocadero gets very crowded quickly after opening at 11:00. Location is very central so it is very convenient while wandering around in the city center.

You can't find too much information about Trocadero online since they don't have a website or a Facebook page. They seem to be extremely old school when it comes to online marketing. It is great we still have places like that even though I am into anything online.

Trocadero is only open during lunch hours and the style is French with influences from the Middle-East. Recently I've started loving more and more Middle-Eastern flavors. The cold buffet for starters is one of the best in the city. The cold buffet especially features Middle-Eastern flavors. There's always about 5 different main course options which are table served. Main courses include mainly French and Middle-Eastern style dishes. All in all an excellent lunch place with a smiley and friendly service.
