A seaside villa
The welcoming old-world atmosphere of Viola is a lovely setting for a special occasion.
An oasis in the centre of Helsinki. A refreshing setting for a meeting or workshop. A unique spot in which to hold important negotiations. A festive venue for a dinner-party. A cozy spot for a family gathering. The ideal stage for a fun crayfish party.
Viola is in an old, neo-classical timber building that has been completely restored. It is a cozy yet festive setting that is inspiring and set in park-like surroundings. Viola has a main restaurant hall and adjoining smaller rooms that can accommodate up to 60 dinner guests at a time. In summer, the restaurant's yard is also used. The adjacent Botanical Gardens offer even more space to summer parties.
Wine in the garden!
Just entering the Viola yard will put you in a vacation mood. On one side the sea, on the other the botanical gardens and Helsinki’s unique wine café – delicious aromas invite you to step into the charming Empire-style villa.

Crayfish Feast
How about some crayfish?
For gourmets, the crayfish is the self-entitled, shining bright red star of Finnish late summer nights. The history of feasting on crayfish is long and colorful, but the arrival of these mild-mannered scissor hands on our dinner tables is always as delightful as an exciting new acquaintance. Crayfish feasts are not just about culinary pleasures. As crayfish butter melts on toast and merry schnapps songs resound, the entire party is one big happy family – whether they knew each other before or not.
A crayfish feast at a seaside villa in the middle of Helsinki
Sounds divine, doesn’t it? However, few of us are lucky enough to own such a villa. Therefore, we are happy to invite your party to Viola – we can reserve the villa for your exclusive use and create and unforgettable evening for you. You can enjoy crayfish in a festive party tent for forty guests in Viola’s garden. As the evening cools, the Empire style villa draws revelers within its historical walls to enjoy the rest of the evening. We also recommend that you take advantage of the opportunities offered by the botanical garden – you could propose the first toast on the verdant paths of the garden, for example.
