Reviews for Finland

Restaurant Maruseki is an odd deviation from the norm in the line Finnish shopping mall restaurants; it serves sushi and it tastes good. I know only one other good / decent sushi restaurant in Finnish malls, Ichiban in Kamppi.

Anyhow, the restaurant is located in the "old town district" of Lempä... More >

Ravintola Matala is one of the better restaurants in Oulu. The food is good, but not maybe superb.

The service is prompt. The kitchen is adjacent and thus visible to the dining room, so you can watch chefs preparing your food.

The place is located at the Oulu market square, just next to the se... More >

Mecca is a brainchild of Hans Välimäki, the only chef having two Michelin star restaurant in Helsinki, and Palace restaurants, a big chain of upscale restaurants and hotels. So far very promising...

The restaurant occupies two floors nearby Esplanadi park. The place is designed by one of the fo... More >

Café Buffo is a nice coffeehouse that suffers from its location in middle of Sello shopping. Would the café be somewhere else, the ambience would be much better. A number of seats is arranged a sort of lounge-like, and there is more feeling of privacy than with normal coffeehouse seating. This hel... More >

Moda Aleksanteri is a surprisingly fresh fashion store being part in the Moda chain that used to be the dresser for older ladies... Anyhow, Moda Aleksanteri is a sort of a flagship store, located in the prime spot on Aleksanterinkatu in downtown Helsinki.

The selection is tilted heavily to 25-40 ... More >

Moko stocks everything and between for furnishing your home in Asian or traditional style. The place is fully loaded with small items, for example, statues of Buddhas, wooden Christmas pigs and candles. Ask the clerks for any Finnish specialties and make your friends envy.

The design is not tradi... More >

Myymälä2 is a really strange shop, especially in Helsinki. Located in a basement on a more quiet part of a renown bar and art street, the shop is an tantalising mixture of a contemporary art gallery and a fashion shop.

Expect to find the unexpectable. The garments and the items sold here may be... More >

Naantali church is an old monastery church built on 1462. The bell tower is built much later on 1794-1797. The church is located on a hill between the Naantali city and the sea. Views to both directions are magnificent. There is a small view tower on the cliff near the sea and you can see both Moomi... More >

Naantali old town is well preserved area of old wooden buildings that have been carefully renovated and are currently hosting several restaurants, cafés, art galleries and specialty shops. The official Moomin shop can be found here, too.

The old town is still small enough to be covered by foot.

Naivistit Iittalassa is an annual naivistic art exhibition held in Iittala during summer months... In an old school, as most of the art exhibitions in the Finnish countryside.

The art on the walls is hilarious and makes you smile. All works of art are on sale, so you can purchase a permanent sour... More >
