BasBas Kulma Wine List

About BasBas Kulma

The younger sibling of BasBas, situated downstairs, has been extended from a small natural wine bar to a fully-operational restaurant and is one of the trendiest places in Helsinki. The wine offering also plays the role of little brother or sister to the BasBas wine list, taking quirkier paths to places less explored, while not forgetting the classics.

The long line of bar stools helps to seat walk-ins and the char-grill adds depth and flavour to dishes that embrace the wines being poured. Skin contact and low sulphite wines fulfil the expectations of those who want to venture into something different, while the long list of small producer wines also has many options for more classical tastes.
