Ravintola Jason

High-Quality Craftsmanship with a Relaxed Approach

Jason is the first fully independent restaurant by Michelin-awarded chef Jari Vesivalo, whose philosophy is rooted in a commitment to quality and craftsmanship without the strict rules and complexities often associated with the fine dining world.

At Jason, the menu features carefully prepared game, vegetables, and seafood, with ingredients sourced as locally as possible and treated with the care they require. The goal in the kitchen is to make damn good food without unnecessary tricks, while never compromising on quality. In addition to set menus, there's an à la carte selection and bar dishes available from the chalkboard, which can complement a meal or be enjoyed at the bar with a glass of wine.
