Just 15 minutes by train from Helsinki Central Station, you’ll find Ravintola Base in the heart of Leppävaara. A local favourite known for genuine hospitality, classic cooking and consistently high ratings, Base has become one of Espoo’s most trusted dining destinations.
Ravintola Base is a privately owned neighbourhood restaurant built around the culture and community of Leppävaara. For decades we’ve welcomed people celebrating birthdays, meeting clients, going on first dates, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying dinner before a show. Being part of so many important moments in people’s lives is the greatest compliment we could receive.
Our à la carte dining room offers attentive table service in a relaxed yet refined setting. It’s equally suited to business lunches, client dinners, celebrations, and evenings when the food deserves your full attention.
Our menu celebrates timeless classics made with carefully selected seasonal ingredients. We believe classics become classics for a reason, so rather than reinventing them, we prepare them with precision, personality, and just enough international influence to keep every visit interesting.
Our wine list, curated by our in-house sommelier, focuses on classic wine regions at approachable prices. Whether it’s Sancerre, Bordeaux, Chianti or Barolo, each selection is chosen as a benchmark of its style—making it easier to discover why these wines have earned their reputation and how beautifully they pair with food.
Base Bar transforms throughout the day. Weekdays begin with our popular home-style lunch buffet before the evenings come alive with quiz nights, music bingo, live roots music, great cocktails, craft beer, and the unmistakable energy of the Leppävaara community.
Our covered terrace offers hours of sunshine while sheltering guests from Finland’s unpredictable weather, making it a comfortable place to enjoy great food and drinks throughout the year.
Great food and drinks may bring people through the door, but it’s our community that keeps them coming back. Base has become a meeting place for people from every walk of life—friendly, welcoming, unpretentious, and always ready for good conversation, great company, and a memorable evening.
