Frommer's Review

Known and recommended by many of the residents of the upscale residential neighborhood that contains it, this is a warm and woodsy-looking bar and tavern that serves generous portions of rib-sticking food in a friendly setting. No one will mind if you drop in just for a drink (many patrons seem to view it as their favorite "local"), but if you want to stay for a meal, you can watch the food preparation in the open kitchens. Menu items waver between an appreciation for Finnish nostalgia and more exotic influences from outside Scandinavia. Examples include at least a dozen kinds of pizza, including a version studded with strips of reindeer filet, grilled steak with a brandy-peppercorn sauce, and pike-perch with lobster stuffing. Every Friday, the menu features fresh steamed mussels, served with a white wine sauce and french fries. Children's platters go for around 6€ ($7.20) each.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
