Great lunch breaks, smoother workdays. At Centraali, the tenant community enjoys a wide selection of restaurants. Whether you’re looking to recharge over lunch or unwind at an afterwork gathering, here it’s all possible without leaving the building. The office property’s prime location next to the Helsinki Central Railway Station, Central Library Oodi and Töölönlahti Park also ensures excellent transport connections when it’s time to head home.
Now let’s explore the superb restaurants within the building, where both the tenant community and citizens can enjoy exciting flavours from around the world.
The newest addition – Hungry Hub Keskusta
Delicious fast food and swift service in a lively setting.
In autumn 2025, a modern quick-service restaurant Hungry Hub opened its doors at Centraali. The growing fast-food chain specialises in fried chicken, burgers, salads, and snacks, aiming to offer customers an irresistible combination of great taste and competitive pricing. Since its launch, the restaurant team has already received a lot of positive feedback from guests.
The dining experience in a restaurant is enhanced by an airy and energetic interior. Also, its cosy atmosphere and central location are key to attracting tenants, young people, families with children and tourists. The restaurant staff is also planning some special events for the future, including afterwork evenings.
“We especially recommend trying our signature fried chicken, along with our juicy
beef and chicken burgers. At the same time, our vegan options are carefully crafted
and absolutely worth tasting, offering a delicious alternative for everyone.”

The Australian Gastropub is also a great choice for engaging afterworks with colleagues. Here, guests can enjoy craft beers, relax on the terrace, or follow live sports matches shown on big screens.
