Where can you get a good, cheap vegan meal in a nice friendly atmosphere? And take your kids with you too? Where can you watch an interesting film for free or browse the excellent free shop? In Sosiaalikeskus Satama, of course! They have a nice vegan café every Tuesday starting at five.
Sosiaalikeskus Satama is a collectively run autonomous social centre in the middle of a former industrial harbour Kalasatama in Helsinki - now the area is going to be built full of flats so sadly the collective will have to get a new place at some point. They have many interesting activities besides the café - gigs, bike workshop, drum workshop... They got to rent the place from the city because they just kept squatting places until they got something more permanent! Really nice food and nice atmosphere - definitely a good way to spend Tuesday afternoon. Especially when Tuesdays tend to normally be a bit boring somehow!
Last Tuesday´s portion was seitan with rice - there was salad too but I missed it! Not bad for 1 € - and the week before there was a rather delicious blueberry pie too.
Detail from a lovely mural covering one of the walls - the whole place is impressively tidy and well kept. There are even toys to entertain kids!
