Ravintola Aino, Helsinki, Finland

This place was in front of the.promenade park of the center.  It seemed not many places serving a bit more fine dining Finnish cuisine.  Perhaps the locals aren't much into local food as I have seen many Japanese sushi buffet restaurants and burger houses.
Chose a salmon celery salad.  Thought it could be at least a bowl size but it's less than half of it, and it's about EUR25.  The salmon soup was much bigger than expected and good for 2 persons.  It's about EUR22.  This is a fresh cream soup as it's made with fresh flour blended with butter as the soup base.  This should be the way of an original cream soup, not a thick soup.  On the mains, we had the stewed beef and pork, and the other as the 2 sided fish filets (perch/herring).  Both dishes were quite creative but a bit too oily to me.  So I just finished half of it.
