Helsinki


For gourmet picnic ingredients, this light-filled deli with black-and-white chequerboard tiles is a must. Fresh food changes with the seasons – there's a fantastic selection of Finnish cheeses, birch-smoked salmon, reindeer yoghurt, berries, locally baked breads, crisps, crackers, jams, chutneys and sweets such as salmiakki (salty Finnish liquorice). Ready-to-eat dishes include salads, sandwiches, wraps and savoury pastries and crêpes.
