The first Vegemesta location. Serves veggie burgers with soy, tofu, and hemp. Also vegan schnitzel, fried potatoes with Thai nuggets, daily meals. Mostly vegan except the soya burger which contains egg. Free Wi-Fi internet access. Had temporarily closed in late 2012 but did not re-open. Removed.

Vegan burgers are yum! - Edit
Only 20 min walk from city centre, friendly cook in small cafe - couldn't imagine how they get more then 5 people in there at any time. We were the only 3 there except a couple sitting at the only table outside. Small but I like this about it - just laid back quick service sort of style, as same for the menu - burgers, hot dogs etc (vegan of course). Vegan burger (hemp) was really really good - one of the best I've had, and the vegan mayo so yum! My sister who is a meat eater had another vegan burger and she said it was the best burger she's ever had in her life. She raved about it while we walked home and even told the chef that herself. Really good - fresh - glad we went :)

not that good - Edit
I moved to Helsinki last year really excited for get some good vegan fast food in town, I knew that this place was already opened, I went there and what I got was a salty burger, really small one and expensive, the kitchen looks like a mess and I think the guy who works out there is not even into vegetarian diet.

Sympathetic - Edit
A hippie like athmosphere, where not everybody can fit inside to wait at rush hours. The fillings are good and mainly vegan, but what I never stop wondering is the usage of "Vaasan ruispalat" which is like the cheapest bread in the country. Am waiting they will one day upgrade to some real, maybe more local bread as the price would already indicate... In the meanwhile it is what it should be.
Read morePros: Mainly vegan, Good taste, Relaxed
Cons: The bread, A little expensive

Vegemesta - Edit
Best veggieburgers that you can get from Helsinki. Really tasty with many different options. The only real problem is that there no possibility to eat at the spot. But as a take away / fast food place this is nearly perfect.
Read morePros: excellent burger, variety
Cons: only take away

Best fast food in Helsinki - Edit
Me and my partner had burgers here and I must say that it was the best fast food vegan burger I've had. And not even that expensive, the burgers are around 5 euros.
Read moreThere was a small table and two chairs outside and since we were the only customers we even could sit while eating!

Perfect hemp burger - Edit
I visited Vegemesta and had my best hemp burger ever. Nice place, but you cannot sit inside - have to stand while eating. They have also some good drinks, I had a herb beer (nonalcoholic), good;)

Best burger in town - Edit
I recommend this place for everyone. Try rye bread, it's much better than white bread. And it's not even that fatty, but of course it tastes like fast food.

Best burgers in town - Edit
Vegemesta is small and sometimes crowded but friendly. Burgers are very good and depite being "fast food" I think quite healthy compared to other fast foods. You can choose rye bread, which is even more healthy. They have a spicy sauce to the burgers which I think is great. In addition to burgers there is the delicious potatoes and nuggets portion that will satisfy a larger hunger. I warmly recommend vegemesta despite the location not being the most convenient for me at least.
Read morePros: best burgers, spicy sauce
Cons: primitive interior, location

Tasty veg fast food - Edit
Relaxed, laid back atmosphere. Note that this is a take away, so there are really no seats and tables for sitting down and eating. If you are looking for a low fat healthfood, this is not your place. If you want a tasty and ethical fast food alternative, this is your place.
