Finns are rightly proud of their pastries. Visitors should definitely try Karelia pie. Theoval-shaped, open pastry is topped with rice porridge, potato or carrot. It can be eaten like this or with egg butter made from boiled eggs mashed with salted butter and pepper. Korvapuusti or Finnish cinnamon roll is alsorecommended. It comes topped with thick granules of pearl sugar. Perfect with a cup of coffee. Among the best places to enjoy thepastries is Ekberg (ekberg. fi/en), Finland’s oldest patisserie and bakery. The shop was established in 1852 and manages to blend a classic ambience with a modern look.
