One long table.
Sea views and shared plates. Full of new friends.
How it works
Ferry
20 min from Market Square by JT-Line ferry. Your table is waiting.
Take your seat
Take a seat at the long table with new people: a surprise multi-course menu, wine, and conversation starters. Staff host the whole evening and help you get going.
Leave with new friends
By dessert, it feels like you've known each other for ages. The terrace stays open for those who aren't ready to leave.
A Scenic Dinner with New Friends
One long table, sea views, and an evening you won't forget.
Dinner with new friends brings a cheerful bunch of new faces together around one long table, in the middle of Vallisaari's sea views. No need to bring company — a table of friendly people is already waiting, just as curious to meet you. The evening is built so conversation starts easily.
Brought to the table to share
Warm and fresh tapas in a Mediterranean spirit with a Finnish touch — plenty of it, and for every diet. A glass of wine to start.
Do let us know any dietary needs when you book.
Our team hosts the whole evening and keeps things flowing. At the end of the night we walk the scenic route to the ferry together and take a group photo in front of Vallisaari’s most beautiful views.
If it rains, dinner moves to the adjacent event space. Dogs are more than welcome.
See you on the island!

Your host
Oliver curates the menu, selects the wines, and places the conversation starters. He doesn't sit at your table — the magic happens around the table, not with a host hovering over you.
