Review: We went to Zucchini for lunch twice whilst we were in Helsinki and loved it. The staff were helpful and fully understand what vegan means! We had their lunch special on both days which could be made vegan. The first day was a french style cassoulet served with barley (or millet for gluten free) and salad. You help yourself to bread and they have gluten free bread(more like a cracker!) too. It was quite reasonable (for Helsinki) at 9.5 euros. Portions are huge.
The second visit - the lunch was jacket spud with a lovely tomato/bean casserole and salad. We indulged on their vegan dessert too which was served with soy cream.

Loving it!

 
Pros: huge portions * reasonably priced * helpful and friendly staff
Cons: * *

Review: The place is only open at lunch time Mon-Fri 11-15. Around 12 the place is usually quite crowded, but if you feel comfortable asking people if you can join their table, there will be space for you.

Service is always nice. Both soup and warm lunch is available every day. Warm lunch contains small green salad, warm vegetables/beans and main item on one plate. Bread is home made and there is usually multiple option available. Sometimes home-made vegetable stuff for bread is served too.

Do try the cheese cake, thought I'm not sure if it's vegan (I've confirmed that it's made with agar, not gelatin). It's excellent!

Review: During my 3 weeks stay in Helsinki,I was visiting this restaurant everyday. The staff were friendly and hospitable. The Menus were mostly good and the portions were also generous. They really knew the concept of Vegetarianism. Its a lacto-vegetarian restaurant and they cook organic as much as possible.
I will go back again. The only disadvantage is that they closed on weekends. Its a typical lunch restaurant catering to the workforce.
I would recommend it.

Review: I've eaten here on a few visits to Helsinki and enjoyed it every time. It's located fairly centrally at maybe a 20 min walk from the main train station. The biggest draw back about this place is the restricted opening hours.
 
Pros: Nice food * *
Cons: Limited opening hours * *
