If you want to have a good finnish food this the place you should go.

Hernekeitto oli ”ok” vaikka itsekin teen parempaa kotona. Samat sanat pannukakuille. Palvelu oli täydellistä ottaen huomioon valtavan kävijämäärän ja tunnelma oli tyypillinen ”tehdasruokalan” tunnelma :-)

Arkipäivän lounas, vaihtoehtoja riittävästi. Hyvä salaattipöytä. Lounas maultaan erinomainen. Ravintolamiljöö viihtyisä. Vain yksi asia himmensi hiukan, väenpaljous. Mutta sekin kertoo että on suosittu paikka. Ruoka tuli syötyä niin nopeasti (hyvää!!) ettei ennättänyt kuvata. Mutta jälkiruoasta sain sentään kuvan.

Joimme kakkukahvit, oli hyvää. Myös kotiin viedyt ruoka-annokset maukkaita, reilunkokoisia ja edullisia.
