However, those choosing to stay in Vantaa will find more than enough restaurants to choose from, serving a variety of Finnish specialities.

The dishes offered at Finnish restaurants in Vantaa tend to be rather seasonal, with reindeer, elk and even bear steaks during the winter months, and lighter fish dishes in the summer. However, any time of the year in Finland is a good time for meatballs, which are generally served with mashed potato and crispy bacon.
