Terrace
Your summer living room in the heart of the park
In summer, Bistro Kirkkopuisto extends into the lush park. Our terrace is the city’s most charming front-row seat, where you can sense the beauty of the historic setting and enjoy the art of living under the linden trees..
During the day, the terrace invites you to observe the city’s bustle in the spirit of French “flâneur” culture. As evening arrives, it transforms into an atmospheric meeting place where glasses clink together and Spanish sociability takes over..
Enjoy the sun with a refreshing drink or order “Small Pleasures” to share at your table. We’ve created a space where you’re in the heart of the city, yet far from everyday life.
