Fransmanni Helsinki, Finland

Nestled within the Sokos Hotel Helsinki, this restaurant serves French cuisine within a countryside ambiance. Do not underestimate this place by looking at its simple décor; the choice on the menu will leave you satiated, yet eager for more. A plate of garlic escargots could precede the pasta and fish dishes at mains. Or, try the steaming hot beef, chicken and shrimp casseroles, topped with plenty of fresh veggies in tongue-tickling sauces. A variety of steaks and filets make up the meat section—the pork and county sausage deserves special mention. Mocha crème brûlée or the house chocolate cake at dessert will keep most sweet lovers happy.
