Buffet and soup plus a smoothie bar. Mostly vegan except honey and some dairy products, especially in the desserts. Take what you want, and pay for the food by weight. Nearest metro station is Hakaniemi. Previously at Toinen linja 7. Reported closed January 2023.

Avoid if you have a milk allergy - Edit
I only took dishes that were marked as vegan from the buffet and a raw cake that was also marked vegan but I got a reaction to milk after eating there.

A lifesaver!! Awesome buffet - Edit
We had all but given up on finding somewhere affordable (for Finnish standards) to eat that didn't only sell fish when we found this gem. We went here several times during our stay in Finland and loaded up our plates with a bit of everything available on the buffet that day, and even a bit of cake though those are rather pricey. Definitely satisfied my craving for raw vegetables, and it was always a fun surprise to guess what's actually in the dishes, as we don't speak any Finnish 😂 However all the ingredients are listed so if you have a dictionary handy you can definitely avoid any allergens or dairy.

Good veggie lunch - Edit
I’ve picked up lunch from here a couple times, the food has been very tasty and innovative options! Normally they serve a buffet lunch but now due to covid-19 restrictions, they offer ready packed lunches to-go. Safety measures on point 👌🏼
Read morePros: Tasty, not boring plain veggie meals, Pretty, newly renovated place
Cons: Little pricey for out-of-centre lunch

There is great variety of salads, bean sprouts and other healthy food. Warm dishes are quite similar to each other and bit boring to me.

Nice but very expensive - Edit
Me and my Boyfriend went there to eat cake. It was very delicious. But you have to pay a Lot....14€ for 2 little cakes? Helsinki is in contrast to Germany really expansive but this was a lot of Money. The taste of the cake was great and it's a nice little Café but as I said before you have to be rich to eat there often ;)
Read morePros: Vegan cake, Free water, You can go inside with pram

Tempting buffet - Edit
So many of the buffet items looked good. It was hard to choose just a few. What we got was very good. Everything was vegan at the time we came. It was a very enjoyable meal.

ok buffet with many vegan options (all?), bit pricey - Edit
The review is about the lunch buffet and not the café on the ground level.
Read moreIt works a bit like in a cafeteria - you take a tray, plate and walk around the buffet to fill your plate. At the cashier they will weigh the plate and you pay according to it.
Now that I've been here another time, I feel the need to update my review.
Yes, there are many options, salads, warm dishes, fruits etc, and seemingly all of them were vegan (check the tags with the ingredients). Some of them were good, others repeatedly too salty.
Water and two small slices of home-made bread were included in the price, but still I consider it to be overpriced for what you get.
Despite the cafeteria system, the place has a cozy-enough atmosphere, but certainly not the kind of place you would stay to hang out after having eaten.
Pros: lots of options
Cons: overpriced, too salty (several times), not too cozy

Totally best place in the city! - Edit
Yum!!! I so enjoyed this place. I was really impressed at their use of olive oil in most dishes. They clearly explained everything and what would be potential allergen, etc. High quality food and high vibe atmosphere!

Excellent buffet & cakes - Edit
Well worth the trip over the bridge. There’s a small raw cafe at street level and main cafe upstairs. Extensive buffet and delicious vegan cakes. Prices are according to weight. There is also take away containers.

Delicious buffet - Edit
Wonderful place with a big lovely buffet. There will be something for everyone, and you can just take the amount of food that fits your level of hunger. They have both soup, salads, warm dishes, dressings, fruit and cakes. You can buy drinks or take water free of charge.
Read moreOnly one of the dishes out of many was vegetarian, otherwise everything was vegan.
22,80 € per kilo may sound expensive, but a lot of the food is organic and local ingredients. From their website: "We use over 65% organic ingredients, depending on availability and seasonal variety. We use local produce and support fair trade as much as possible."
This was my second time at Silvoplee, and I'll definitely be back again.

My favorite in Helsinki - Edit
Silvoplee is a great place to have lunch. The buffet is always fresh with listed ingredients so there's no confusion about what you're eating. I would eat there everyday if I could, because the rotating options are just THAT good. It feels amazing to pig out on healthy food. It's unfortunately way too expensive for me to eat very often (and I would overeat every day if I went there because there's simply SO much great food), but I savor it whenever I go. I also like the coffee bar & yummy raw vegan desserts downstairs. My only big issue is that the restaurant is always full- it's really hard to find a place to sit most of the time, even right after they open.
Read morePros: So so delicious, Really big variety, Clearly listed ingredients
Cons: Expensive, Crowded (not their fault- there's ample space)

I can see why people like this place, but my friend and I weren't so impressed with the food we'd had, and the price, even for Helsinki, seemed a bit steep for that kind of place.

Awesome vegetarian buffet - Edit
My friend and I weren't even hungry, but we wanted to "just have a look." We ended up getting lunch and had huge plates. The buffet is really fun because you get to try so many different things. They weigh the plate to determine your cost. Lots of raw and vegan options. There were only two non-vegan items the day we went. Very happy we "stopped by!"
