Papa Andreas - Greek Restaurant on Helsinki's Esplanadi

Greek food is so much more than a meal to us. It is full of flavour, comforting and made with love. It carries a sense of togetherness, warmth, joy and genuine encounters. Our restaurant is a place where friends and families gather to share moments and delicious flavours – where conversation flows and time seems to stand still.


Our menu is based on family recipes refined over decades, combining Greek flavours with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Every dish tells a story that begins in the kitchen of Papa Andreas’ mother in the village of Lefkara, with its final page still unwritten.


You are warmly welcome to our restaurant on Helsinki’s Esplanadi, whether you are looking for a classic dish with a modern twist, new taste experiences or a Mediterranean moment in cold Finland. We believe that food brings people together and makes them part of one big family – come share our table and experience what makes Papa special!

Filoxenia
[Φιλοξενία]

Our journey began in the small mountain village of Lefkara, from where we made our way to the great cities of the north. Here, we offer a home not only to excellent food, but also to filoxenia – the Greek culture of hospitality.
