Stockmann Aleksi in Helsinki is the biggest department store in the Nordics. Stockmann has several locations in Finland but is also growing in Russia.
Stockmann Herkku (Delikatessen) sells food products and groceries in each Stockmann department store. In other foreign countries where Stockmann operates, Herkku is called Delikatess (Estonia), Delikatese (Latvia) sekä Gastronome (Russia).
Biggest Stockmann Herkku is in the flagship store in the center of Helsinki. It also has couple of nice dining spots which we have planned to try quite long.
First spot was Meals Bar where we had few tapas and some fruit salad.
Three different tapas were Parma ham, Chevre and Cold smoked salmon on rye bread. To be honest they were dissappointing goodies. Rye bread and Parma ham does not fit together. Chevre was too cold because all tapas were in cold place. Cold smoked salmon was a little bit dry. Fortunately fruit salad was fresh. You can choose from 2 white and 2 red wines, one cava and one champagne to pair your food.
After tapas visited Coffee Bar serving different coffees, teas and some fondants but also some dessert beverages like grappa, cognac etc…Decided to order espresso, simmered green tea, grappa and few chocolate fondants. Must say these fondants were better than usually Petit fours are for dessert. Can recommend!
Tapas selection at Stockmann Herkku varies day by day, so another day might provide better experience at Meals Bar. Believe fondants are always as good as they were this time.

I love Stockmann. I haven’t been to the 8th floor restaurants, just the snack places in the lower floors. I will try the top floor restaurants next time in Helsinki…thank you.
Try also Champagne bar with glass walls at the 8th floor. Thanks for comment!
It looks delicious! I used to visit Stockmann whenever I was in Helsinki with my former job. I didn’t have dinner there, but I always bought canned elk soup:)
Main restaurants are at the 8th floor. Herkku at the -2 floor serves only small bites. Thanks for comment!
