BasBas and Staff
Open until 2am and a favourite with off-duty sommeliers and chefs, BasBas is an intimate restaurant and wine bar with vintage decor, candles in wine bottles and a buzzing atmosphere. Twenty minutes’ walk from the city centre, in Tehtaankatu, it serves natural wine produced without chemicals or additives. “Natural wines are a little different from classic wines, so it’s important to drink it somewhere that has a really good reputation for choosing wine, like BasBas,” says Lehtonen. “They also have one of the best chefs in Finland working there, so it’s good to order small plates of finger food to go with your wine. On Sunday especially, you’ll see lots of people from other restaurants here, eating and drinking wine.”
