Kitchen philosophy
Eero Mäkelä, who is a local gift to the Finnish kitchen and the ambassador of healthy food and drink, TV chef Sara La Fountain pay tribute to Nordic cuisine at this restaurant. The kitchen philosophy is all about Nordic flavours spiced up with small surprising twists influenced by global cuisine. The menu changes according to the season and is designed around the concept of social eating – to share meals. The core of this concept is small, shareable dishes such as modern burgers, soups and fresh salads.
The sauna experience
Sauna-goers can experience the hottest löyly (Finnish word for the steam and heat of the sauna) sensations six days a week in either the wood-heated sauna or the modern smoke sauna. The wood-heated sauna is smaller and more of a traditional type of sauna, whereas the smoke sauna is bigger and can give sauna enthusiasts a chance to step it up a notch.
Students (with a Finnish student card), children (under 16 years of age) and pensioners can enjoy sauna from Tuesday to Friday between 11 and 17 for a reduced price of 8 euros. You are welcome to bring your towel, flannel, swimsuit and slippers. If you forget to bring a towel or swimsuit, you can rent from Kuuma for two euros.
