Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We didn’t eat here because of the host on Tuesday July 16 showed us absolutely lack of service and hospitality! I didn’t want to spend money in such an establishment! If I were the owner I would hire another host before losing more costumers! Restaurant...More

The offerings have a French base with local ingredients- the ambience is French from the wines to the background music - the food was excellently prepared and the wine list (mostly French) was extensive. Leave room for dessert- well worth the calories!

I had busy lunch in Pastis and I just took the main lunch dish; in this case it was white fish. I can only say that it was delicious. Service was also really good. They understood that I was busy and served taking account that.

I live round the corner from Pastis and am a fan of Muru which is from the same family of restaurants. Interior is a little small (but that’s typical in Helsinki) and maybe could do with a bit more artwork on the walls, but difficult...More

We had a night out with friends and decided to go to Pastis. Place is small and cozy and the service is ok. The food was decent but nothing too special.

Nice three-course-lunch served with smiles and a truly welcoming touch. Oysters and cheese platter as well as selection of cold cuts were top notch. Bouillabaisse was a little too greasy to my taste but didn’t damage the experience. Delightful ambiance, will return for sure.
