La Boheme

Located on Korkeavuorenkatu in Helsinki’s Ullanlinna district, La Boheme is a casual wine bar offering high-quality, seasonal, straightforward food. La Boheme opened its doors in May 2024, and from the beginning, the core of its operations has been to serve as a meeting place for everyone. La Boheme is a restaurant that evolves and changes with the people who visit and their desires.
 

Straightforward, seasonal-respecting food
 

The kitchen at La Boheme is staffed by four long-time professionals in the restaurant industry, who ensure that the menu remains dynamic and interesting. Everything in the kitchen is made from scratch. Both the food and drink menus are constantly updated whenever something new and intriguing becomes available – sometimes it might be rhubarb stalks from a relative’s garden or fresh trout appearing at the fish wholesaler.

The most important aspect of La Bohemes operation is continuous renewal. The heart of the menu is in Scandinavian cuisine, but influences are drawn from all over the world. The restaurant favors domestic ingredients, which are used to create straightforward dishes stripped of all unnecessary elements. The menu offers small bites to accompany a glass of wine or a pint of beer, dishes for a larger appetite, and a seasonal menu with wine pairings.

The wine and cocktail list features timeless classics as well as newer discoveries. The drink menus are also continuously updated, and the restaurant listens attentively to customer preferences and tastes. New products are added to the list based on customer requests with a low threshold.
 

The genuine atmosphere
 

At La Boheme, both staff and customers are welcome just as they are. The restaurant strives to meet every need, ensuring there is food and drink for everyone in its cozy environment. There are seats for 46 customers inside, and in the summer, the terrace adds 24 more seats. Dogs are also more than welcome. The kitchen is open until 10 PM, after which the wine bar remains open as long as there are customers. Thus, the opening hours are flexible and extend as needed, so it’s always worth checking the situation if hunger or thirst strikes.

La Boheme can be reserved for private use in the evening or outside regular opening hours as needed. The restaurant also offers catering for private parties – whether the celebration is held at the restaurant or elsewhere. For private events, the menu is designed together with the customer to meet their wishes, needs, and the nature of the occasion.
