Gastro Pub Toripolliisi

Reviewed By Mikael F

We ordered only main courses and they came very quickly. I suspect that my schnitzel was pre-made and heated. The schnitzel was swimming in the sauce and there was also a small bowl of vodka loosened blueberry jam. The overall appearance of my dish was like in the cafeteria of ABC gas stations here in Finland. The portion was big.The service was friendly and efficient.

We had a Sunday brunch with four people. It is served from 12 am to 4 pm, also in Saturdays.There were families, couples and groups.The salads were fresh. Especially good were salmon, herring and shrimps. Bouillabaisse was made just like in South-France.From hot dishes codfish with aioli was tasty.Coffee, waffles, fresh fruit with whipped and ice cream were served.On sunny days it is good to make reservation.Nallikari beach with marvelous sea view makes this Scandinavian restaurant favourite. Nice patio to look at the beach life.

Ostroferia Restaurant

Reviewed By Juhani3

The best restaurant in Northern Finland. Very unique menu, unique style. The owners gather mushrooms and berries their self from the forrest.If you visit Oulu you should visit Ostroferia.Restaurant does not have a menu on internet, it changes all the time. Ostroferia was chosen the 28. Best restaurant in Finland at 2017 but I think it is in top 3.Remember it takes about 2 hours for 5 course dinner. I don't have any bad words about this place. 5 course menu without drinks is 55€.

Reviewed By dag007

This was a positive surprise. Usually I do not even visit restaurants that are located in hotels, just because I do not think hotels and restaurants are in the same business! But, this was proving me wrong! Very good Lapland(ish) food. Very tasty, very good looking presentations that really made you enjoy the eating as an experience. Good wine selections available. The only minor comment from my side was that the waitress was somewhat distant and disengaged.Hello,Thank you for you nice feedback. I hope after visit with us and our hotel you image will change and you can visit restaurants which located in hotels. We have lappish style menu and very nice wine list which gives losts of different flavours.I hope we have chance to serve nice experience also next time.Welcome again.Best wishes,Senja L.Restaurant Manager

This restaurant takes a bit of fine looking to find, since it is at the basement of a building. So you could miss it if you are looking for its windows. It is centrally located. The food was good (my lamb dish was a bit too salty). The decoration and atmosphere were both excellent.

Sokeri-Jussin Kievari

Reviewed By d7p

The food quality is usually of a good quality here, and the place is cozy and authentic. However, the service has been rather slow on many occasions, and I do not mean the actual food preparation time but rather waiting for another round of drinks and things like that, seemingly nobody is interested to earn extra penny here and there.

Reviewed By polymoog

Ate supper here on NY eve. Made reservation for 19:00 via email about 3 days in advance. Restaurant about half full when we arrived, more people arrived at 20:00. Walk in got turned away so glad we chose an earlier time/made reservation. Good service. Both had mushroom soup to start, was v good (besides milk froth on top, which I removed) and small piece of lingonberry bread a nice and tasty touch. Re mains, had reindeer, b/f had serloin steak. Both dishes v good, meat tender. Was however surprised that "deep fried potatoes" with sirloin were just chips, would have been disappointed esp at that price but b/f not bothered, they were nice. Otherwise vegs and sauces lovely. Mains €30 +/-. Had a nice drink with meal - cloudberry, lingonberry and vodka. Also had lovely dessert, small chocolate cake with scoop of blackcurrant ice cream and some fresh blueberries and strawberry. Good choice for regional dishes.
