Lappi Ravintola Helsinki Reviews from The Last Year
Disappointing starter, excellent main, overpriced wine.
I was keen to try some Lapland cuisine and so booked Lappi despite it being a bit of a tourist restaurant. We started with the starter platter for two which looks very impressive. However, we both found it rather bland. The reindeer carpaccio was the nicest of the selection but it was served far too cold, some of the slices had a frozen crunch to them! I suspect the meat had been chilled down to help with the slicing, but it should never be served like that. I separated the slices out so that they could thaw and warm up whilst we ate the other items. But none of these really impressed. For the main we had slow-cooked entrecôte and fillet of reindeer. This was excellent and cooked to perfection. None of the desserts really enticed, so we didn't bother. Wine is generally expensive in Finnish restaurants, and this is especially true at Lappi. One bottle of wine I saw earlier in the day at an Alko store for €15 was listed at over €50. Quite some mark-up!
Disappointment Despite Good Food: Cold Welcome and Rushed Departure at Lappi Restaurant
I visited the Lappi restaurant with my family since they came to see me in Helsinki, and I wanted a good place to celebrate our reunion. Despite the initially unwelcoming reception, the food was good, and the waitress was very friendly. Unfortunately, the evening didn’t end well. The service manager asked us to leave before we even finished our meal. For your information, the bill for the four of us was €270.
Feel like a tourist trap
We made revervation in advance and it's pretty empty when we arrived. Ambience is good, food and service is ok. I ordered lappish salad and the Entrecôte & Fillet of Reindeer and my husband ordered salmon soup and catch of the day(Arctic Char). The salad is average, entrecote is pretty bad and luke warm, reindeer fillet is actually good and freshly cooked, the only hightlight of the dinner.
Nice experience
We enjoyed our meal at Lappi as it combined the three key elements in abundance. Nice ambience, great service & delicious food!Τhis is not a cheap restaurant, you are paying for the location at the city centre, the traditional Lappish interior atmosphere as well as the quality of the food and service. We enjoyed some classic Salmon soup. For mains, we thenhad the Reindeer Shank and the Entrecôte & Fillet of Reindeer. Both were cooked beautifully, and served with very rich and delicious sauces. The staff was friendly friendly and spoke perfect English. Overall, Lappi is recommended for tasty Finnish cuisine and an enjoyable meal out.
Excellent meal in a traditional restaurant
We had an excellent meal at that traditional restaurant. I had the salad and fish of the day and my husband had the salmon soup and reindeer dish. All were excellent! We also sampled local drinks and desert. The atmosphere was very pleasant and food very tasty!
Fantastic dining experience!
Authentic Finnish food. We Came here purely based on the trip advisor reviews which I’m glad to say were spot on. We booked earlier in the day and we got the last table. They are very busy on weekends so book early. The staff greeted us with a warm welcome and we had a great table by the window. I had the vodka aperitif with cranberries , excellent Finnish vodka. Then I had sautéed reindeer , my friend had another reindeer dish. Both were fantastic, so tasty and cooked really well. We were served by Sergei who looked after us all night , we really appreciated how great he was. Thank you Sergei!
Overall, the food was fine (except for the terrible rye bread), but due to this poor customer experience, I will never come back
I made a reservation a couple of weeks ago and was really looking forward to trying Lappish cuisine. I arrived a bit early and was immediately seated. From the very beginning, I didn't feel very welcomed. I ordered my food, and everything was served in such a rush that I felt as though I was in McDonald's, expected to eat everything as quickly as possible in order to leave. The rye bread was the worst I've experienced during my travels in Estonia and Finland. The other meals were fine, with the Lappish salad actually being very good. I struggled with the reindeer dish as I was quite full. Nevertheless, I still had my forks in the position indicating I was still eating. Despite this, the waitress asked me if she could take away my plate. I agreed. Then she asked if I wanted dessert, which I, of course, refused. Following this, she asked if she could bring me my bill. This has never happened to me before, and I considered it very rude to be essentially pushed away from the restaurant immediately after finishing my meal.
Well worth a visit for high quality Finnish specialities
We knew Lappi was a bit “touristy” but wanted to give it a go anyway. It was so Much better than we had anticipated. Excellent cocktails, local specialties and friendly service. We shared the starter platter and the mains platter - very generous portions and got to try a lot of tasty interesting foods.
Very good quality
So yes it is a bit touristy and no Finnish people would go here just as a normal dinner. However, the quality of food is great and flavours wonderful. Basically it does give you a taste of the north nordics and it does so very well. Highly recommend the shared starter platter to get a full range of flavours.
Great meal in a cosy atmosphere
The criticisms of this restaurant made me hesitate, but I’m glad to say they are unfounded. The interior is cosy (not touristy), staff friendly, and after eating in a few Michelin starred restaurants in Helsinki the prices here were a relief, while the quality of food held up well too. Yes, tourists eat here, but the ratio between tourists and locals was the same as everywhere else we ate and visited (saunas included). If you’re looking for a relaxed meal with good reindeer options at half the price of Gron etc. this is a great option.
cozy restaurant for a typical dinner
I have been in this typical restaurant for a solo dinner, at the end of january 2024. I had no reservations, but there was place for me so i did it. the waitress was very kind and smiling, and very helpful in explaining me the composition of the dishes. I tried sauteed reindeer. It was a bit tasteless (i thought reindeer meat was more tasty), and a bit expensive, but i think in line with Helsinki prices. I general terms it has been a good experience. the restaurant is quite hard to find, because of the low lights inside and a not-so-good illuminated sign.
Expensive tourist trap
We have been here tonight (29/1) and the whole place feels like a big tourist trap. The interior looks good, some say typical Lappish, it could well be a bar in Austria. The girls serving are really friendly, nothing bad about that, but when outside within 55 minutes, spending € 132,- for 2 beers, 2 starters, 2 mains and a dessert, is way overpriced and not worth to go here at all. Then - on top of that we have had better food (reindeer) as well in Helsinki where we enjoyed a full evening out, instead of literally being asked after the dessert “shall I bring you the bill”… Apart from that - the reindeer carpaccio was served very cold, it came within 5 min after we ordered, so probably ready in the fridge. According to the waitress it should be served that cold, but we tasted nothing until we left it standing and getting a bit on room temperature. The main course was ok - had reindeer shank - the meat was a bit tasteless, we had reindeer at Kuu restaurant and tasted so much better. The dessert was ok, nothing special, but for € 12,- a bit overpriced. When we got the bill we initially didn’t notice, but then we saw they charged us € 1,- pp for still water, we have never been charged for that in Helsinki and seen a lot of other restaurants. Upon asking the men (manager…?!) behind the bar - he had some explanation and according to him it is normal in Helsinki…anyway - then at least you should add the price upon asking your guests if they like still or sparkling water. We also spoke to him about the fact that we didn’t like the carpaccio that cold and at that time he literally said - “luckily there are a lot more restaurants in Helsinki to go to”. In that case - my advise to anyone considering to go to Lappi - pick another restaurant where you can spend an evening enjoying good food, good atmosphere and good service.
Outstanding! You must eat here! Like sitting in a Suomi
Outstanding! You must eat here! Like sitting in a Suomi palace with furs and wooden tables. Everyone was friendly and helpful - great food suggestions. The meal was incredible and well worth the price. I will definitely be coming back.
If you're looking for a great spot to explore the cuisine
If you're looking for a great spot to explore the cuisine of Lapland while you find yourself in Helsinki, this is a great spot to do so. Lapp is located only a block or two from the main esplanade and action of downtown Helsinki. I strongly suggest snagging reservations in advance as they fill up quite quickly. We ended up eating here at 4:30 pm because that was the only spot available during our day-of reservations. The interior is wooden and filled with antlers and kitschy decor to set the vibe. Yes, a lot of tourists go here and yes, I was on a mission to have some sautéed reindeer. Note that in true Helsinki fashion, prices can be quite high at this restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed our sautéed reindeer, lingonberry sauce and mashed potatoes alongside our barley risotto topped with Lapland cheese and seasonal root vegetables (so flavorful!). If you're vegetarian, note that the menu can be quite meat heavy. They also offer a menu of Finnish beers, cocktails with Finnish vodka, etc. Overall, a tasty and positive experience.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!

Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
