Food Scene

The Lucky Bastard serves handmade burgers, sides, salads and shakes with fresh ingredients. Restaurateur Kim Heiniö who was born and raised in East Helsinki wanted to open a restaurant in his old hoods and contribute to the services in the area and that's how the first TLB came to life. The restaurant uses recycled take away wraps and containers and serves sustainable Aussie beef and grass-fed dry-aged Irish beef.
