Frommer's Review

Owned and managed by the Helsinki Culinary School, this is the only restaurant of its kind in Finland. Completely staffed by students and trainees, it offers a comfortable modern setting and a cuisine that's professionally supervised (though not necessarily prepared) by the teaching staff. Diners can usually choose either large or small portions of virtually any dish. Menu items include smoked whitebait with mustard sauce, a terrine of smoked reindeer, and glow-fried Arctic char with creamed asparagus and herbed potatoes. There's also a version of "Finnish pasta," served with salmon, cream, and herbs. Many diners find the youthful enthusiasm of the staff charming. The cuisine depends on the culinary lesson of the day.
