Great if you don't mind paying. - Edit
I've been to Silvoplee for years. It started at something like 18.9€ per kilo, and now it's over 21€ per kilo I believe. So if you're a big eater and come hungry, you'll pay easily over 17€ for one big plate. The food is good but nothing special. Also, in my opinion, the food has gotten worse over the years. I also don't agree with their pricing policy. I believe 21€ per kilo is too much, but again, it depends how rich you are. I don't go there anymore too often, mainly because of the price, and because some great new vegan places are opening up in Helsinki.
Read morePros: Many vegan options, fresh food.
Cons: You'll like it if you don't mind spending.

the best one i have found so far - Edit
Of all the helsinki area vegetarian restaurants I like this one the most. Unlike in many vegetarian restaurants, the meals actually make me feel full and I don't get hungry again right away. They seem to at least try to somewhat meet daily macronutrient needs. It is a shame that it takes so long to drive from espoo and public transport takes too long.
Read morePros: all ingredients listed, lots of choices in the buffet, organic ingredients used when possible
Cons: expensive, gets full during lunch time, stressful to drive to and no free parking nearby

Brilliant but you pay for it - Edit
Wonderful, fresh, amazing variety. Yes, slightly expensive, but excellent quality & good ingredients are simply more expensive.
Read moreEven though it's cafeteria style, it's got a nice atmosphere. They shut at 7pm though so don't go after 6.30pm or you won't have time to eat.
All ingredients are in Finnish but the staff are extremely helpful to point out what wasn't vegan (only two of 30 options were not vegan).
Dessert game strong & a nice range of teas on offer too.
Highly reccomend.
Ps cool health food / product store 50m away across the road too.
Pros: Variety, Fresh, Nearly all vegan
Cons: Slightly expensive , They don't stay open late

I was too full to try and food but had caffe latte and a raw chocolate bar.
Read moreThey were just ok but I like the welcoming and cozy atmosphere.
Buffet is almost all vegan and some vegan option desserts.
I'd love to go back there when I'm hungry so I can try their main dishes.

Best place in Helsinki - Edit
The spacey restaurant has plenty of options, which makes it nearly impossible to have your meal under 10e - you pay by weight and you want to try everything. They use seasonal and local vegetables, many organic and are very environmental conscious, which adds to the price. Everything is delicious!
Read morePro tip: if you go there near closing time you might get cake with discount!
Pros: delicious, local & seasonal

good food but high price - Edit
There is plenty of food to choose from. There is a price per kilo of food which is 22€ and a little more. The food is not labelled vegan though the ingredients are listed above each tray. It might be hard for foreigners to read what meals are vegan since the ingredients are only listed in Finnish. Overall good experience.
Read morePros: wide variety of food, large seating area
Cons: kinda expensive, not labelled vegan

very expensive, very good - Edit
I spent 20 euros on a large meal and large slice of cake. It wasn't terribly expensive, but there's an Asian buffet around the corner with all you can eat for 10 euros, so I wouldn't come to Silvoplee twice in one short trip.
Read moreThat being said, my meal was delicious, only 2 things weren't vegan and the cashier was kind enough to point them out to me in English.
The cake I got was incredible, probably the best I've ever had.
My only advice would just be to remember our eyes are bigger than our stomachs and not to get too much of one thing unless you've had it before, because you don't know if you'll like it!
Free water and access to Helsinki city wifi.

Super tasty food - Edit
It was the best vegetarian restaurant I tried at Helsinki. There were lots of options and everything I put on my plate was delicious. Don't forget to visit the donation based yoga studio at the restaurant's basement.

Very good! - Edit
This restaurant/eatery is very modern and has a hip and appealing interior. The staff is very friendly. They do offer a great buffet which a large variety of dishes (hot and cold ones) which leaves nothing to be desired. They also have a small shop inside the restaurant where you can buy veggie/organic products. And also a very cool point: There is a special smoothie-bar where you can have made a yummy and healthy green smoothie or juice.

Cheers and see ya next time!

Nice - Edit
Nice vegetarian buffet-style restaurant right at the exit of the metro station. I combined a few dishes, they were all tasty and healthy, but not fancy or surprising (I did not try the cakes, though). With one or 2 exceptions everything was vegan, but I had to ask the friendly staff because it was not labelled.

Great variety and taste - Edit
Had lunch here today with my sister. We enjoyed the variety of options and everything we had tasted great. The whole buffet was vegan except for two dishes: a salad which contained cheese and a beetroot dish which had honey in it. There's a small note next to each dish which lists the ingredients, which is nice, but they could make it more straightforward by adding clearly whether or not it is vegan. This would make it easier to spot the foods you wanna take and what not. Also, these labels are in Finnish, so if you'r a foreigner you need to ask the staff.
Read moreI enjoy a low fat high carb vegan diet ("80/10/10"). Some of the dishes were quit heavy on the fat, but most were suitable for me.
The food is a bit expensive, since you pay based on the weight of your plate. I filled half of my plate with salads (light) and half with baked foods (heavy), and my meal cost 23€. A bit expensive compared to some Asian restaurants that I usually go to, but then again, this was way better. Still, probably the best place for a vegan that I'we been to in Finland so far.
Pros: Variety, Taste, Looks
Cons: Price, Atmosphere

Nice place for a late lunch - Edit
Silvoplee is a good place for someone who likes fresh food. I have always liked the raw options but warm dishes are also tasty. The restaurant is open only till 6 pm so it's mostly for lunch - but at popular lunch hours it's crowded. Paying by the weight of the plate makes it little inconvenient.

Hippie restaurant for healthy eaters - Edit
For friends of hippie food this is a good place: fresh vegetables, sprouts and other raw stuff. Be aware that these people use e.g. honey and dairy so remember to read the labels! Food is paid by its weight so this is also good if you want to eat only a little. They offer also homemade bread but not anything on the top of it (except butter for lacto-veges), I guess because they think margarine is not healthy. Luckily the food tastes good.
Read morePros: Good and healthy, Price is ok
Cons: Non-vegan place, Their ideology is "health based"

Good old place popular amongst omnivores as well - Edit
Almost every omnivore friend in Helsinki suggested we would meet in that place for lunch when they heard that I am vegan. They knew it well, and I also had visited it in 2000. The food is of big variety and high quality. There is lots of raw available. You can eat as much as you want/or can pay for. The place is very popular so during the busiest lunch hour you may need to wait for a seat for a few minutes, but friendly other customers will eagerly make room for you as fast as they can.

sad place... - Edit
and poor quality... but in helsinki will be difficult to eat good vegan food. we tried it few weeks ago and the best thing was the vegan cake. If you have the time you can jump in the eco shop next door... where you can buy all kind of european vegan goods and some pastry. otherwise you don't have to try.

Lovely cakes! - Edit
Me and my child had two wonderful cakes, they had 4-5 to choose between, all vegan (chocolate and strawbeerie cakes eg). I really loved my carrot cake and had a nice avocado/banana smoothie too. You pay for the cakes by weight, nice for those of you, like me, who like two have two small instead of one big piece. I had a glimpse on the food buffet (also payed by weight), it looked interesting with both classical and more finnish plates. I really recommend. Child friendly and cosy atmosphere. I small bio-store in the restaurant and another big one up the street, 50-100 meters north of Silvoplee. Then you are ready for Borgbacken, the charming amusent park just a few blocks away!
Read morePros: The Cakes, The Atmosphere, Biological

The most obvious veggie place to visit in Helsinki - Edit
I live in Helsinki and have eaten here 10+ times. Raw foods are usually very good, the buffet changes from day to day. They have some warm dishes on the buffet table also, these are often ok, but nothing special. Anyway the buffet has a lot of options, so if you know what you want, you won't be disappointed.
Read moreThe buffet is not "all you can eat", because greedy Finns would bankrupt the place. You pay according to the weight of the platter and it easily gets expensive if you like the buffet options :). The desserts are even pricier and actually not that good. It's often really crowded and it sometimes kills the atmosphere. Still this is the most obvious veggie place to visit if you're in Helsinki.
Pros: Raw food options, Taste
Cons: Price, Desserts, Crowded

The best raw option in Helsinki - Edit
Silvoplee is a good option for a raw foodist, also warm vegan dishes available in the buffet. Quite basic food, a bit home made like. Don't expect too much from the raw options, it's more or less simple salads and pates. Non-vegan dishes are NOT necessarily marked clearly, so take care! Raw and vegan cakes available. A bit pricy, but in Finland everything is...
Read morePros: raw options, warm dishes are simple and good, vegan/raw cakes
Cons: sometimes non vegan main salad, crowded at lunch time, menu doesnt vary much

The best vegetarian/vegan restaurant in town! - Edit
This has over the years remained the best restaurant in Helsinki specifically catering for vegetarians and vegans. There is no á la carte, but the large buffee should meet everybody's needs. Every dish is labelled with its ingredients, making it easy to leave out the occasional dish with honey or dairy if you are vegan.
Read moreThis restaurant was voted as the best living food a few years back and has delicious raw cakes. Make sure to taste the soup of the day and remember you pay by weight at the cashiers (I always take way too much on my plate). The food is great and the ambience quite unlike any other place in Helsinki. If you come at 12 o'clock be prepared to wait for a table. I would eat here everyday if I lived closer!
Pros: Excellent variety, Great taste, Wonderfully healthy
Cons: At times crowded, Opening hours, A bit pricy

Mixed - Edit
The restaurant had a really good variety of dishes, but the most of the food was not good. The falafels were sort of mellow, the tofu was not well dome, the soup was salty... and the prices are quite high.

Really healthy and great tasting - Edit
This restaurant was founded by a nutritional therapist so you can be sure there's always fresh fruit, tofu, beans and other B12 sources and delicacys like seaweed and wheat grass juice available. It's not the cheapest (full plate + health juice 10-15€) but the high quality can't be denied.
Read moreBtw. If you spend sometime in Helsinki and prepare your own food remember to check out the ethnic groceries (they sell tofu etc.) which are just around the corner of Silvoplee.
