We came for a long awaited re-visit in December and had booked a table for Saturday night. I had the veggie burger with fries. The burger was a bit different, it didn't have a patty but kind of sliced seitan. It was very good and spicy and had the right amount of sauce inside too. Excellent fries. The other half had the beef tenderloin fillet. He liked the meat very much but the sides weren't on par with it. The green beans were borderline raw and there was hardly any bacon bits in it. For dessert I had the apple pie with ice cream & crème fraîche and it was very nice. Other half had the gooey chocolate cake with ice cream & salted caramel sauce. It was good but it wasn't really a cake because there was hardly any cooked cake batter, it was all goo. :) Regardless of these few little mishaps we will be back again!Thanks for your review. Our head chef received your suggestions and promised to improve the sides on beef fillet dish. Chocolate cake is supposed to be more of a mudcake than a cake, so maybe we should change the description of the dessert. Thanks again and hope to see you soon! =)

We went here for the dinner at Saturday evening, two people. Location is quite far from center, but worth to go. Fairly small place, but nice. I had scrimps as a starter,very nice and spicy. For the main I had Cajun Blackened beef and my wife had beef in a pot with pepper sauce. Both were excellent, really good taste and output. Also the vegies were greatly made. Good wine and some choklad cake as an dessert and dinner was one of the best ever had. Go and check this place, really.

I would call this a typical student or rocker or hangover joint. Colorful and relaxed, with terrace outside. No frills, everything down to a bare necessity. Might get wild from time to time, but I reckon this restaurant/pub gives a good picture of the urban underground culture of Tampere.... :-). And if you had a heavy drinking session yesterday, the greasy food might help you on your way back to life. If you did not have too much alcohol yesterday, the food might be a little too heavy and the meals too big.

We had a dinner with friends without a reservation. The place was packed, but they were able to give us the last free table, and the service was very good even though they were in a hurry. The wine recommendation for me was spot on, and everyone was pretty content with their food. I would recommend, and we will be going back.

This Tampere pub was one of the first "real pubs" in Tampere when it started in 1968.Interestingly enough, the premises housed earlier a milk shop...Now beer,good food an a laid-pack "Tampere-style" atmosphere. Famous for its grilled meat portions, but typical Finnish salmon soup and fried Baltic herring is also available. Although basically a pub there is a friendly waiter service. Not too many tables so especially on busy evenings, a booking is adviseable. Go to their web pages for a nice introductory video!

I have to admit, this was not a typical choice for me, but me and my husband were hungry and needed a quick lunch before returning to Helsinki. The service was great, the guy at the bar really took time to find us the most suitable beers for our choices of food. He said their most popular portion is the duck, so I decided to try it, although I am not a big fan of duck, and my husband had game meatballs. The food was simply perfect!!! The duck was a little crispy, a bit sweet and it just fell apart - I have never eaten anything this tender! This is by far the best duck and one of the best meals I have ever tried!Also my husband was very satisfied with the meatballs.The atmosphere is maybe not very cosy, but for that kind of service and food I will visit this gastro pub any time again!

Ohranjyvä is a classic pub/restaurant serving big portions and decent beer. The layout of the restaurant makes it a bit complicated and cramped. They serve two beers brewed for them (APA brewed by Pyynikin and Weizen (Vehnä) brewed by Hopping Brewsters). Try the Weizen with the Puerto Ricon pannu. A killer combination.

Plevna is a restaurant located in the old Finlayson factory in Tampere. As that, it is one very long room layered into two tiers with tables, and the bar/kitchen on the lower side. There are lots of booths and tables in between, everything made of old wood. It has a nice, old European feel to it, with shelves of beer glasses and steins in front of the ceiling-high windows that face the street. As with every place in Tampere, you will need to make a reservation to come to eat at Plevna, and making it int he same day might mean you get a table for 8 pm so be aware: the place is popular. The staff are very friendly and direct. The moment we sat our server suggested we try and order as fast as possible, because the kitchen was very, very busy and it might take some time to get the food. The beers and meads at Plevna are numbered and they're quite good. We tried the wheat beer, the bock, and the mead. They're all house made and they have that true feel of small brewery, they're very distinct. The food is limited but very well made. We were running late so I ordered the house burger only they didn't have burgers (no idea how a restaurant can be out of burgers but they were, so that was a minus for me) and since I didn't want chicken I opted for a steak with baked root vegetables and potato medallions. The food came sooner than expected based on what they'd told us, and it was very good. The steaks were cooked to perfection, and so were the vegetables, which were still solid and flavorful but perfectly cooked through and seasoned. I was not that impressed with the potato medallions, as they tasted greasy to me. If you're going for desserts try the homemade blackcurrant cider ice cream. The lemon muffin-cake that accompanies isn't writing home about -it was quite dry-, but its flavor worked as a great offset for the ice cream, which was very sweet. It has a very unique flavor, it was refreshing and very, very tasty. It could be less sweet, or the lemon cake more tart, and it would work better but it's still a very nice experience. The staff were quick, efficient and friendly. They did things with humor, which was nice. One thing we did notice and we'd like to pint out to the management of this locale was about every single small, empty table that stood between the booths with the "reserved" mark on them. It was clear to us from our one vist that these tables were kept "reserved" while they weren't, as having them empty helped the staff walk between them with large tables of drinks and food. And that was fine. But we aso so many prospective diners walk by looking for a table and commenting there was nothing at seeing all these empty, reserved tables. Please consider removing those tables, or at least using some of them for actual diners, as it looked awkward and we heard other diners comment on the same fact. Other than that, a very nice place, great food, great drinks, nice atmosphere.
