Reviews for Oulu, Finland

Amarillo is a centrally located fusio-Mexican restaurant and night club on Rotuaari in Oulu. Amarillo is a chain of restaurants around Finland, operated by the co-operative S-Group. Usually (and as in Oulu), they can be found at Sokos Hotels.

Cafe Bisketti is by far the best café I have encountered in Oulu. The cakes and buns are big enough to cater for the whole day (and maybe big part of the following one), the selection is excellent, the service is swift and prices are decent. The location at the Rotuaari walking street is superb, to... More >

Flavour Palace is an ordinary looking Chinese restaurant located in the centre of Oulu, near Rotuaari walking district. The place itself is very typical Chinese restaurant in Finland; a little tacky interior, wide variety of foods and efficient service.

One thing set this place apart from the oth... More >

Hotelli Lasaretti is located a couple of kilometers off the centre of Oulu, in Lasaretinsaari island above the Oulu hydrodam. The island was owned by Finnish military forces and was closed for the public until end on 20th century.

During summertime, the best place to enjoy the busy shoppers of Oulu market square is Kauppatorin Kahvila Makasiini -- a café carefully built inside an old wooden harbour warehoure.

Kirjakauppa Kipa is a little bit funny bookstore in Finland, as it stocks only books. Usually, the stores are filled with all office related stuff and sometimes the books are in minority. Not in here.

The smallish store is located in Pakkahuoneenkatu, near the walking area Rotuaari. The selection... More >

The store is open only during summer. It can be found at the old red warehouses facing the sea, next to the Oulu market square. Entering the store is li... More >

Levykauppa Äx's store in Oulu looks like most of the other non-chain record stores: rough at edges and a lot of attitude inside.

The store is the best place to buy music in Oulu, if you are not interested in the too-produced mass music genres.

Tilted towards rock, heavy metal and alternative,... 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 >

The entrance to Nicky & Nelly store is a bit understatement for the shop: it looks like any small boutique door, but the store expands behind corner into a huge space full of clothes, shoes and accessories for children.

Nicky & Nelly is a chain store, but I've never seem them having so much of st... More >
