Ravintola Sea Horse
A neighborhood institution in Ullanlinna operating for over 90 years, famous for its crispy fried Baltic herring and onion steak.
Sea Horse opened in Ullanlinna in December 1933 and is a casual, old-school neighborhood restaurant. In the 1990s, journalist Tyler Brûlé wrote about its onion steak, bringing the restaurant international fame. Signature dishes include fried Baltic herring with mashed potatoes (€24), onion steak (€32), and Vorschmack, while the iced cranberries with hot caramel sauce is a highly recommended dessert. Reservations can be made online, by phone, or via email. A €2.50 service charge is added to the bill from midsummer to early September. Open seven days a week, with last orders taken 1.5 hours before closing.
