    Hi Janice,    
    
    When someone requests information in this conference, I try not
    to let it go unanswered too long.  I live outside a 50-mile radius
    from Boston and rarely go out to eat, so I'm far from the best
    qualified to help you.
    
    Nevertheless, I do note that the Westin Hotel on Copley Place has run
    an ad in Gult och Bl�tt announcing that their Brasserie Restaurant will
    be featuring Scandinavian food for the month of March. They are on the
    corner of Dartmouth Street, 10 Huntington Avenue. Tel. 617-262-9600.
    Also Swenson's Bakery on 409 High Plain Street in Walpole (617-668-9850)
    has a small restaurant attached.
    
    You might also inquire in the restaurant conference, TGIF::EATS,
    and the regional conference, DELNI::BOSTON. [Perhaps you already
    have done that?] 
321.2What was the name ...ERFARE::PERRETTSat Mar 11 1989 00:3423
    Im trying to get the name of a restaurant in Helsinki. I have a friend
    visiting there and wanted to recommend it but cant remember the
    name or address. So if any Finns recognise this description and
    can help Id be obliged.
    
    Starting in the area of the Presidenti Hotel, its about a 7 to 8 min walk
    going south, past the bus station towards the area of Annasvagen
    (Annankatu), and its on the west side of Mannerheimvagen (Mannerheimintie).

    As I recall its down a street on a short but fairly steep incline (not
    quite long enough to be a hill). It has the symbol of a dogs head, similar
    to a bulldog or a St Bernard (Bernhandilaiskoira) on the menus and the
    billboard outside. Inside its a restaurant at one end with a bar and
    (possibly) a small dance floor at the other, with a red decor inside. 

    
    As far as Im concerned its got the best garlic dish (chicken) Ive come
    across, and would be grateful if anyone can recognise it.

    Thanks
    Kiitos paljon

321.3a restaurant called "Barries"EEMELI::MANNERMAAJukka Mannermaa, SWAS/CSO, FNOWed Apr 05 1989 13:348
    Andy,
    
    	the restaurant you remember is Barries (also called as "Hyv�
    	Yst�v�" which is a trademark of a bunch of restaurants in
    	Helsinki). The address is Malminrinne 4.
