Cafés · Töölö / Sibelius Park waterfront
Café Regatta
$$ · Moderate·Leashed only
A tiny red wooden cottage café on the Töölö waterfront, famous for cinnamon buns, campfire-grilled sausages and sea views. Dogs are welcome, with water available and a classic post-walk stop on the Kaivopuisto-to-Sibelius-Park shoreline route.
Why it made the list
Water for dogs, a seafront terrace and an open campfire make it the most charming coffee stop on Helsinki's shoreline path.
Good to know before you go
Leashed dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables and around the fire pits; the cottage interior is tiny, so plan to sit outside. Hours are published on the café's official site.

House rules and verification
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
Helsinki's oldest and most elegant park, sloping from the embassy district down to a rocky Baltic shoreline with archipelago views. Dogs are welcome on leash throughout, and the western section holds a popular fenced koirapuisto (dog park).
One of Helsinki's two official dog beaches (koiraranta), on the island of Mustikkamaa just a short bridge walk from Kalasatama metro. Sandy shallows, shaded pines and an adjacent fenced off-leash meadow make it the city's favourite summer dog spot.
A 10-kilometre corridor of genuine forest — birch, pine and spruce, bogs, rocky outcrops and meadows — running from the edge of the city centre to the northern suburbs. Dogs can run off-leash in the deeper forest zones outside the nesting season, and fenced zones exist near Pirkkola.
