About us

About us — Café & Bistro Hiezu

Welcome to Hiezu Café & Bistro, a seaside oasis right by the Hietaranta sandy beach in the heart of Helsinki. We combine the relaxed beach atmosphere with high-quality food and a warm ambiance. Hiezu is a place where the sea is always present and every moment has its own flavour — whether it’s brunch, a coffee break, or a summer lunch by the water.

Hiezu was born from the desire to create a place where relaxed beach life meets a high-quality dining experience. Our goal is to offer experiences that feel as genuine as the surrounding seascape. For us, food is not just a dish — it is part of the moment, and every moment deserves to be enjoyed without haste.

Seaside atmosphere

Hiezu is located right next to the Hietaranta beach at Hiekkarannantie 11, Helsinki. Our location is one of the most beautiful in the city, where the sea, sand, and Helsinki’s skyline meet in a unique way. Large windows and a bright interior bring the sea into the dining area, and in summer, the terrace is full of life, offering a place to enjoy the sun and good food right by the shore.

The flavours of Hiezu

On weekends, Hiezu comes to life with its popular brunches, where the tables are filled with fresh delights and vibrant flavours.
During the summer season, we serve daily from our à la carte summer lunch menu, which offers plenty of options for both lighter and heartier appetites.
For everyday coffee moments, we offer salmon soup, savoury treats, and sweet pastries — all prepared in Hiezu’s own kitchen using fresh, high-quality ingredients.

Celebrations and events

Hiezu is also a wonderful place to host your own celebrations and private events. We offer atmospheric spaces for both small and large occasions, whether it’s a birthday, corporate event, or a relaxed evening with friends. Our Merikabinetti accommodates around 30 people, and the large hall can host up to 80 guests. The spaces can also be combined for bigger celebrations, and all catering is always customised according to the customer’s wishes.

Our philosophy

Hiezu is more than a restaurant — it is a place where life tastes like the sea. We want every visit to feel like a moment away from the everyday. Our core values are authenticity, quality, and warm service. We are here so you can pause for a moment, enjoy good food and company, and experience Helsinki’s most beautiful seaside scenery in the midst of life.

Welcome to enjoy Hiezu’s atmosphere by the sea, right in the heart of the city.
