I have been here twice and both times left smiling like a happy little bunny with a huge carrot. Everything is perfect. The staff is delightful and awesome - I would have liked to give them all a hug when leaving. Food is just delicious, no matter what you are eating - no one in my table has ever had a single bad word to say. Dishes the food is served in is very much the viking style as is the decor, the place really owns up to its name. So I really really recommend!

Unlike most reviewers I was not impressed. The decor is worn-out and the pizzas are service station quality. The location is good, the service adequate and the choice is pizzas is wide. Nevertheless, with the pizzas edible but not even decent my rating is two stars.

We liked a lot the atmosphere of this place with candles. Starters tasted great. But main courses lacked the taste and were quite boring. Desserts were ok.
They didn't have any non-alcoholic beverage alternatives except soda. Hey, this is 2017, maybe you should try Natureo-wines like they do in Helsinki top-restaurants?

Great spicy food! I had a vegetarian dish, fried noodles (#27 on the list) with tofu. It was excellent, very tasty, adventure to my taste buds, from the first mouthful til the last. My wife had chicken satay skewers and that also had great authentic tastes. Mango lassi was good as well. I was a bit surprised that there were no plain lassi.
The service was efficient - no need to write anything down - and the cook had a very nice smile. Plenty of young people having dinner.
It may not look very inviting outside but you will go there for tasty, malaysian food.

Beautiful old building, great food, great service. It was fully booked as usual but we had a reservation. It is a set menu on these special occasions with a couple of choices you can choose from. Whatever you chose, it was well prepared and tasted great. The service is friendly and the Terrace outside is a nice place to relax on good weather.

Want to sample moose? It's here. Reindeer? It's here. Some of the city's freshest bread? It's here. Need a pair of Sievi or Topman Finnish made shoes or boots? They're here. Better salmon or whitefish than you can get at K or S-market? It's here. Plus several restaurants and kahvilas. And of course, the best part of any Finnish Kauppahalli----the smells. The restaurant at the rear serves generous portions, and prices are reasonable and include dessert, juice, koti kalija (low alcohol beer), and milk. Under 20 Euros for a couple. Coffee costs an additional 1 Euro.
And of course, for more high end shopping and an Alko (state liquor store), the Sokos department store adjoins the Kauppahalli, and can be directly accessed.

Excellent fine dining in Tampere. The food was great and a mixture of nouvelle cuisine with the touch of locally found herbs was something new to experience. Service top of the class. Although on the expensive side, the restaurant provides a unique dining experience in the center of the city.

One of the best things about Tampere :) Genuinely good quality steak and a comprehensive menu of other options too. Smart restaurant in a nice location by the river. Friendly and knowledgeable staff... I'll definitely return.
10. Bertha

Reviewed By T-toe
Finally got to test this restaurant as part of our traditional summer theatre visit! We had heard good things about Bertha so the expectations were high. We decided to take the six course menu with wine recommendations. The courses (except one) were really interesting and tasty (one of the really good ones was the old gouda, nicely pre-heated, accompanied with dry sherry).
Service highly professional with a relaxed twist. I actually recognised the waiter from our visit at Restaurant C a few years back, funny.
Yes, it is a bit pricy but worth it. Wouldn't be surprised if they would get awarded a Michelin star if they can sustain this level of food and service.
