Bistro O Mat HakaniemiRooftop Bar in Helsinki

Overview

Bistro O Mat brings an elegant blend of contemporary design and classic hospitality to the 9th floor of the Lyyra building in Hakaniemi. This upscale restaurant and rooftop terrace blends a plush and sleek interior dining room and lounge with a breezy and seasonal bistro-style outdoor terrace.

Views

While you can watch the chefs prepare dishes at the open kitchen inside, the most impressive views are found on the terrace. Here you get panoramic vistas of the water and Helsinki’s skyline, with city rooftops and urban landmarks stretching in every direction.

Food & Drinks

The rooftop menu features French cuisine with a Scandinavian twist, showcasing seasonal and local meats, fish and vegetables. Lunch specials offer an accessible entry point, while dinner reveals more elaborate options, including a three-course prix fixe. The wine list is thoughtfully curated to complement the food, and a selection of beer and classic cocktails rounds out the drinks menu.

What we think about Bistro O Mat Hakaniemi

Modern and stylish, Bistro O Mat Hakaniemi is open year-round for elevated Helsinki dining and drinks. We would recommend a daytime/early evening visit during the warmer months, when the terrace is in full swing, and you can enjoy some bites and cocktails in a more relaxed atmosphere under the open sky.

"Amazing view on the rooftop to the whole southen part of the Helsinki. Food was excellent, especially mushroom plates."
"The atmosphere was nice, the service was friendly and the wine list good"
"The atmosphere was nice, the service was friendly and the wine list good, but that is all. The food was not good in any way, and the service was a good try, but really not very professional. I would not visit a second time."
"Fine dining at its best! French cuisine done very well and is perfect if you are into that sort of stuff!"
