Artist restaurant in Töölö
Elite is a unique Finnish culture and artist restaurant - a stage of life and a living room for artists since 1932. Actors, musicians, writers and dancers, as well as visual artists whose works are on the walls of Elite, have enjoyed life in this real-life theater. In the nostalgic restaurant hall you can sit in famous actor Tauno Palo's regular table and enjoy the signature dish of the beloved artist. In summer our terrace is the perfect place to breathe in and have a refreshing drink. Step inside and experience the enchanting inviting atmosphere of past decades.

Menus
Restaurant Elite is also a real classic on its menu and we cherish recipes that have remained on our list for decades. In our classic list you can find e.g. the hugely popular salmon soup “Jare’s favorite”, Tauno Palo’s creamy onion steak and Vovan Vorschmack, named after our former doorman Vovan. In addition to classic dishes, we serve the best flavors of the seasons, which change seasonally. From the beginning of the year, the menu is complemented by traditional blinis and flaming weeks, which enliven the atmosphere of winter darkness.
