For groups

Private events

Birthdays, family celebrations or a gathering of friends - for once with time! Book a large table or a cabinet at Vaelsa for your group, order the food from the menu in advance and enjoy the get-together. That's what Italians do! The restaurant Vaelsa offers group menus, from which you can choose from authentic, handmade fresh pasta, Roman pizzas and classic Italian delicacies to suit your taste.

Vaelsa is conveniently located in the centre of Helsinki, next to the Market Square in a maritime urban landscape. Govinius' 200-year-old building is a place to celebrate, as Helsinki's finest hotel and restaurant centre shone in this building back in the late 19th century.

Taverna

The street level of Vaelsa is a taverna, where the food is delicious and the atmosphere is a little more relaxed than upstairs, as a good taverna should be.

The taverna is the perfect place to organise both your own and company events: breakfasts, lunches, dinners, birthdays and weddings, parties, meetings, Christmas parties - you name it. We promise that your event will be memorable, the atmosphere will be relaxed and the food will be excellent!
