Andrej SnigirevNovember 13, 2013Omg! Haven't ever had such tasty food. Take huge Finnish plate as a starter and Bear meat as a main food. Enjoy and don't eat your tong;)

J KoflerSeptember 5, 2017Awesome Finnish restaurant with delicious traditional dishes, cozy atmosphere. We wanted to come back the next day for dinner again, but the restaurant was full: so don't forget to book a table!Upvote3Downvote- BryonyDecember 10, 2023Book a table in advance as it gets very busy due to location. It’s not a tourist trap; the food is worth every penny; salmon mousse, elk burger and beef all highly recommended. Traditional & authenticUpvote1Downvote
- Ben BenSeptember 4, 2017Real Finnish restaurant. Nice restaurant, cozy, great atmosphere. Take huge Finnish plate as a starter and Bear meat as a main food.

Eric Van den TroostJune 24, 2012First time I tried salmon soup. It was effing delicious! Waitresses are also pretty flamboyant here :-) In a good way though...

Ivan RadchenkoJuly 4, 2017It used to be authentic, but not any more. I'd better say... touristic. choice is short, but you can find fish or meat dishes. and they really can make good non-Finnish coffee!UpvoteDownvote
Simone P.April 27, 2014Reindeer rump steak & Lammin Sahti beer were a great choice, thx the waitress for beer advices & little tasting... :)

Artem GoutsoulDecember 21, 2015Very touristy, but nice food, nice view. Un-finnish like social and friendly service, feels almost theatrical :)UpvoteDownvote- ◎expAugust 16, 2020The best place to try traditional cuisine in traditional homey atmosphereUpvoteDownvote

Eduardo SilvestrowDecember 10, 2012Try the casserole (meat stew) or the lumberjack reindeer, they are both really good! Nice and cozy atmosphere.UpvoteDownvote
Seppo KotkaApril 9, 2011Should be compulsory for all tourists from abroad to visit. Genuine Finnish atmosphere. The food is superior, too. Nice touch in the service.Upvote1Downvote
Marika VisentinMarch 11, 2013Nice place, good food, welcoming people. Suggested to all tourists!UpvoteDownvote
Rami Arda YorukogluSeptember 15, 2016A traditional Finn themed restaurant. Savotta platter for starters was good. Also shared bear served on rye. It was ok, but overpriced. Not worth the money. Dishes are not generous.UpvoteDownvote
hArriFebruary 11, 2012Pricey, but well worth it for the old Finnish logger's theme experience.UpvoteDownvote- LenochkaApril 2, 2011Small menu but tasty things. Quite expensive but cozy :) No wi-fi though.Upvote1Downvote
Joanne SkinnerSeptember 23, 2011Ask for the dessert menu! It is so cool, even if you don't anything!!UpvoteDownvote
Nhya SarieMarch 30, 2018Waiter unfriendly, with tall n thin posture with eyeglasses. when I asked for the menu, he explained in a hurry, then he just left me. i am very disappointed with his service.UpvoteDownvote
Altay ErtinMay 6, 2016Gerçek Fin restoranı, yaklaşık 40 ülke gezdim çok farklı restoranlarda keyifli ve lezzetli yemekler yedim ama burası (fiyat-kalite paritesi bakımından) gerçekten muhteşemdi. Mutlaka deneyin derim.Upvote1Downvote
Андрей ЗамковойJanuary 7, 2018Столик следует бронировать хотя бы за день. Закуски на высоте, в т.ч. супы. Горячие блюда из оленины, ягнятины и даже медвежатины - тушеные, без зажаристой корочки. Очень вкусный лосось, «с дымком».

Giuseppe BarbaAugust 8, 2018Servizio ottimo, simpatia e cortesia. Cibo buono, abbiamo provato carne di renna e pesce e tutto era molto delizioso. Prezzi alti ma in linea con gli altri ristoranti della città. Porzioni giuste.

LianaLinaLiJanuary 5, 2014Рекомендую сливочный суп из оленины с любистком и пастернаком, стейк из нежнейшей оленины. Учтите что порции маленькие, но вкусно. Прикольно подают водочку в лыжах :))) Лучше заказать столик заранее.

EkaterinaNovember 17, 2013Очень аутеинтичное местечко. Приветливые официантки, а еда... Нет слов!!! Рыбная закуска, медвежатина и оленина!! Рекомендую!!! Very-very tasty!!!UpvoteDownvote
Игорёк inside!outJanuary 4, 2014Ассортимент из закусок дорого и мало. Но стоит попробовать. Суп из копченой оленины выше всяких похвал!UpvoteDownvote
ОльгаDecember 28, 2017Официант раз 5 путал заказ, потом принёс миску рыбного супа, который разделил на 4 человек с сообщением, что такие у них порции. Я попросила разлить суп по нашим тарелкам, так хватило только на двух..UpvoteDownvote
Erkan DoğanNovember 21, 2024Geyik eti ilginç, ciğer sevenler deneyebilir. Ayı eti, dana etine benziyor.UpvoteDownvote
Ekaterina S.January 4, 2014Выбора стало меньше, порции урезали, три года назад понравилось гораздо больше. Сейчас это полностью туристическое место.UpvoteDownvote
Gül MengüçMay 2, 2015Salatası şekerliydi ve üzerindeki peynir tatsızdı. Genel olarak beğenmedik.

"Central square of the city, often decorated or used for events, then really nice, otherwise just big. But good for watching other people. Very nice restaurants nearby!"
J Kofler - 8.2
"Beautiful in the late winter sunlight as it is tall enough to catch the light. Simple interior and a good place for contemplation. The stairs in front of the church are impressive."
Fred Spofforth - 8.0
"Excellent home department with loads of quality brands. Mens fashion is a bit both high and low, and is missing something contemporary in the mid-budget segment."
