We came here around 5:30pm. We went to order and they were completely out of pickled onions as well as vegan burgers. My step mom is a vegetarian so she had nothing to eat. The lady at the counter also tried to sell us dipping sauce even though it is supposed to be free when you order "friends size fries". The food itself was slightly above average. Not very likely to come back

It was wonderful sitting kitchenside on our trip to Baskeri & Basso on 28 November. This cozy little eatery is tucked into an alley between Eria & Punavuori, but the beautiful painted logos helped us find the entrance. The sous-chef was not leaving any detail to chance as he prepped dishes beside us, which was great to watch. Nicholas was a wonderful host, explaining each dish before we ordered and helping me select a wine. The chef, Kalle, asked to hear our opinions on the food as we finished each plate. The quail was perfect, the pasta so simply presented with not a single flaw...…Read more It was wonderful sitting kitchenside on our trip to Baskeri & Basso on 28 November. This cozy little eatery is tucked into an alley between Eria & Punavuori, but the beautiful painted logos helped us find the entrance. The sous-chef was not leaving any detail to chance as he prepped dishes beside us, which was great to watch. Nicholas was a wonderful host, explaining each dish before we ordered and helping me select a wine. The chef, Kalle, asked to hear our opinions on the food as we finished each plate. The quail was perfect, the pasta so simply presented with not a single flaw... The cheese selections and both deserts we had were delightful... I can't imagine being disappointed by one of these carefully crafted small plates... I hope to return to Helsinki in the future, and when I do, that trip will surely include reservations at BasBas for a full tasting menu. Highly recommended.
