Review: LaBra Restaurant Helsinki – A Mediterranean-Nordic Dining Experience in the Heart of the City

If you’re heading to Helsinki, one restaurant that needs to be on your list is LaBra.” Natasha Colyer/ March 30, 2026/ Seen in the City

Turkkilaisen ruuan ystävää hemmottelee LaBra, joka toimii Teknillisen korkeakoulun vanhassa laboratoriotilassa. Ruuasta vastaa keittiömestari Serpil Yilmaz, ja täällä voi syödä vaikkapa simit-leipää erilaisilla dipeillä ja muita maan klassikkoannoksia.”

What is it? A Mediterranean restaurant led by Turkish-born chef Serpil Yilmaz-Rantanen, LaBra brings sunshine to Helsinki even when the weather doesn’t. Lunch includes a varied salad buffet, soup and a main course served at the table.
Why we love it? At LaBra, you might overhear someone at the next table sigh, ‘I could live on just this bread and brown butter.’ It’s easy to agree – the bread is that good – but it would be a shame to skip the salad bar or mains, where the flavours are fresh, bright and unapologetic. Nothing here is timid or half-hearted.
Time Out tip: The dining room includes a cosy private cabinet that’s perfect for slightly more formal lunch meetings.
