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

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.

Delicious but expensive

Vegetarian restaurant. Food tasted good but to get a decent portion you have to pay at least 15-20€

Cons: Everything was only in finnish which made it hard

A lifesaver!! Awesome buffet

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

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 👌🏼

Pros: Tasty, not boring plain veggie meals, Pretty, newly renovated place

Cons: Little pricey for out-of-centre lunch

So good could eat here everyday.

The buffee is legendary there isn’t anything similar for a vegan anywhere in the world. You feel well nourished. Clean, fresh food. Tasty. It’s nice the menu changes everyday. =)))

Pros: Tasty food, Menu changes everyday, Buffee

healthy and bit expensive

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.

Cons: but too expensive and not so Cousy environment.

Nice but very expensive

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 ;)

Pros: Vegan cake, Free water, You can go inside with pram

Cons: Expansive

Fresh, Flavorful, Lots of Choices

3rd visit here while in business. Didn’t disappoint. Pay-by weight food/salad bar & soup with adjoining juice bar. Super convenient right outside Metro entrance.

Pros: Next to subway station, Fresh greens including sprouts, Juice bar

Cons: Too far from my home!

Tempting buffet

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

The review is about the lunch buffet and not the café on the ground level.

It 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!

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!

Pros: High quality food, Clean ingredients, Great for high-allergen people!

Cons: Can get pricey

Eeek.

Excellent buffet & cakes

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.

Pros: Lots of choice

Delicious buffet

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.
Only 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

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.

Pros: So so delicious, Really big variety, Clearly listed ingredients

Cons: Expensive, Crowded (not their fault- there's ample space)

It's a nice place, not very cozy and quite high prices but still always an option.
Also nice if you wanna get food for a party or so.

I love the food in this restaurant, it's amazing. The only minus is that it's not 100% vegan and it quite expensive.
The place is still one of my favourites.

Pros: Fantastic food , Nice stuff, Good location

pricey

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.

Cons: pricey

Awesome vegetarian buffet

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!"

Pros: Lots of choices in the buffet, mostly vegan

Cons: expensive
