Our Story
The classic White Lady restaurant has been a part of Helsinki's Mannerheimintie landscape since 1952, originally founded by the Lotta Svärd Foundation.
Since then, White Lady has been renowned not only for its delicious food but also for its historical significance. A visit to White Lady is not just a dining experience, as you step into Finnish history. The restaurant has been a favorite spot for several prominent Finnish figures, including President Urho Kekkonen, who was always discreetly ushered to a private room to enjoy his meal in peace and avoid attention. White Lady is also known for its rare and stunning park-like terrace, inviting patrons to enjoy summer days in a lush environment. With the renovations by Casa Ravintolat (Kannas, Rodolfo) in 2024, White Lady has embraced a fresh look while preserving its historical charm and traditions. The restaurant's refurbishment has made White Lady even more appealing as a modern classic. The highlight of the restaurant, however, is its private dining rooms, which have witnessed numerous significant moments in Finnish history. White Lady has also been a trailblazer as one of the first restaurants in Finland where women could dine without male companionship. This was a bold step towards a more egalitarian society and made White Lady a place where everyone felt welcome. Come and experience the unique atmosphere of White Lady and savor delightful culinary experiences in a modern yet historical setting!
