Experience Finnish food culture the local way with Eat Like a Finn, a cozy Helsinki cooking night built around traditional salmon soup, warm conversation, and home-style flavours.

After shopping, you’ll continue to a nearby cooking space in central Helsinki, where you’ll prepare the soup together while hearing stories about Finnish home cooking, cottage life, berry picking, coffee culture, sauna traditions, and everyday life.
