Vaakahuone restaurant complex is unique for its variety: under the same roof you'll find live music, archipelago buffé, à la carte delicacies, pizza and pasta, excellent coffee house and a traditionall grill. At the other end of the terrace is situated the steamship Ukkopekka's sales office.
All the Vaakahuone restaurants are located in the premises of the old Vaakahuone, an old cargo office and terminal. Once the freight imported and exported by steamships was weighted there. From the architectural point of view, the building is the first building made of corrugated iron in Finland and it is protected by Finland's National Board of Antiquities and Historical Monuments. Vaakahuone was built in 1898. Under today's terrace there still lies the original cobblestone street built under the regime of Nikolai II, the last tsar of Russia.
Restaurant's current, classic decoration is designed and appointed by the architect office Arosuo&Vapaavuori.
