A couple of blocks west of the Kirkkopuisto, this vegetarian and vegan lunch spot is great value. Seven euros gets you soup and salad bar, eight buys a hot dish instead of the soup, and 10 gets you the lot. The buffet changes daily – you might get pasta, ratatouille or curry – but it’s always tasty.
