Many of our dishes are naturally gluten-free, and several others can be adapted to suit a gluten-free diet. There is always something suitable to enjoy. Please note, however, that products containing gluten are also handled in our kitchen.

We are able to accommodate most common dietary requirements. At Kosmos, we do not use pre-prepared products; for example, our sauces are made from scratch using house-made stocks prepared according to traditional methods. This gives us a thorough understanding of the ingredients used in every dish.

We kindly ask guests to inform their server of any allergies or dietary restrictions so that we can ensure a safe and enjoyable dining experience.

For the most part, yes. We use lactose-free dairy products, and many dishes can also be prepared entirely without dairy.

Our vegetarian dishes can generally be made vegan with minor adjustments.

Kosmos is open Monday to Friday from 11:30 a.m. to midnight, and on Saturdays from 4:00 p.m. to midnight.

We are closed on Sundays in order to rest and prepare for the week ahead. We are also closed on public holidays, with the exception of May Day.

No, we do not have a private dining room. All guests dine in our main restaurant hall.

Kosmos serves Helsinki cuisine. Situated at the crossroads of East and West, Helsinki has developed a culinary tradition that naturally combines influences from both directions. The foundation of Kosmos’ kitchen also rests upon classical French culinary techniques. Together, these elements form the character of the Kosmos kitchen.

Yes. We offer a three-course table-served lunch on weekdays, Monday to Friday, from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Yes, guests may also order from the à la carte menu during lunch service.

Our lunch menu changes regularly and is therefore not published on our website. We enjoy offering our guests a sense of anticipation and a pleasant surprise when they join us for lunch.

The lunch menu consists of a three-course meal served at the table, although individual dishes may also be ordered separately. Guests choose one starter, one main course, and one dessert. There are usually two starter options, one of which is a soup. Main course options typically include a vegetarian dish, fish, meat, and our traditional vorschmack. Dessert choices include cheese, a sweet dessert, or coffee/tea.

No, we do not offer separate group menus. Groups order from our regular à la carte menu, lunch menu, or recommendation menu.

Our recommendation menu changes approximately once a month and follows the rhythm of the seasons.

No. Groups choose their meals upon arrival. We believe it is more enjoyable for each guest to select whatever appeals to them at that particular moment.

We wish to keep Kosmos open to all guests and therefore do not host private events, with the exception of celebrations within our own family.

No. Kosmos has remained in the ownership of the same family since 1924 and is currently operated by the fourth generation.

Guests are welcome to come exactly as they are. One of Kosmos’ founding principles is to serve everyone equally – rich and poor, intellectuals and ordinary citizens alike – and our approach to dress is equally welcoming and relaxed.
