Further on Sibeliuksenkatu there are Steak House, Pancho Villa mexican, and finally at the corner of Sibeliukskatu and Hallituskatu, Coyote bar & grill, another chain restaurant with nice looking menu but not exactly cheap prices.
William's pub
If you'd fancy a steak in Finland's oldest pub or so it claims, check William's pub (http://www.williamspub.ne...). The salad bar, included in the price of a steak dish, is quite good. The basic portions with a steak, potatoes and sauce aren't among the biggest or finest available. Rauhankatu 11, tel. 03656040
There aren't many regional specialities available. If one doesn't count hotsi, a local version of hot dog, which is sold in grill kiosks.
