ABOUT US
Welcome to Albina Restaurant & Wine Bar, a relaxed culinary haven nestled in the historic Vallila Konepaja area. Located on the ground floor of The Folks Hotel Konepaja, Albina is our passion project—a vibrant meeting point created for locals, food lovers, wine enthusiasts, and travelers looking for authentic flavors and warm hospitality in Helsinki.
Passion for great food
We love great food, wine and the industry we function in and everything that comes with it: long dinners and joyful gatherings; producers and growers; mise en place and braising, roasting and baking; perfectly paired wines and handcrafted drinks; service and hospitality.
Albina is our passion project – our own place where we get to share this love with you. Our kitchen celebrates a blend of classic European bistro traditions with uncompromising Nordic ingredients on top of that we believe that unforgettable meals start with respect for nature, locality, and craftsmanship. Our menus are built around the changing seasons, highlighting fresh, locally sourced produce and high-quality sustainable ingredients. From our mains to delicate handcrafted snacks and house-baked treats, every dish is prepared gently and thoughtfully by our team. We combine fine-dining culinary standards with a relaxed, welcoming, and unpretentious neighborhood atmosphere.
...and great wines
Wine isn’t an afterthought for us: it’s half of our identity. Our wine list focuses heavily on artisan farmer-producers across Europe. Whether you are looking for a classic French vintage or a bold, low-intervention natural wine, our curated bottle and glass list rotates frequently to offer pure, expressive, and enchanting pairings for every meal. Drop by our wine bar for a casual glass after work or pair a selection with our dinner tasting menu.
FROM morning until LATE
We want to offer an all-day sanctuary that is open from morning until late! Start your weekdays with an tasty breakfast or unwind on weekends over our signature Vallila brunch. For those who need a break from the office: come and enjoy our weekly chaning lunch flavors at Konepaja, Valilla. Or just come and let someone else take care of dinner – and the cleaning 😉
