The Bank Lunch Club and The Bank Bistro

Frommer's Review

This high-ceilinged area that originally functioned as the lobby of a bank offers at least four different food stations and one of the most cost-conscious lunches in town. There's nothing glam or pretentious about it; all you'll see are office workers surging in from across this high-tech, high-rise neighborhood selecting lunches from, among others, pasta, sushi, and wok-fried dishes prepared to order. Since it's open only Monday to Friday for a relatively short 3-hour stretch, diners throughout the rest of the day tend to spill into the cozier and certainly less frenetic bistro. There, amid wood paneling, bentwood furniture, and a high-tech, metro-urban decor, you'll find a more sophisticated array of dishes that might include snails with garlic sauce, tomatoes stuffed with a tapenade of olives, and whitefish served with chanterelle-studded risotto. During warm weather, ask at the bistro if kesakeitto is available. This national summer soup of Finland sells during the warm-weather months for 8€ ($10).
