Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Finnish and Greek food in the historical building from 1888

Jul 2023 • family

Vaiha Asema is a family owned restaurant. It is situated in the historical railway station of Mikkeli. The construction drawing of the building is from the year 1888. Extension parts were built in 1902 and 1925. The original idea of the restaurant is to cook authentic Finnish food from fresh and pure ingredients. However, this summer they offer Greek meze lunch with Finnish nuances. Both appetizers and warm main courses were very delicious. Besides, even dessert buffet was included in the price (12.70 euros). The interior is very cozy and they have a summer terrace, too. It is easy to recommend this restaurant.

Great food for hasty passengers

Oct 2021 • couples

First visit though had visited the small station before without noticing any worthy restaurant there. Great food but comes with a price during their German weeks. Asked to change the reserved table which was just by the child door to the platform. Had to turn my dirty beer glass. Themed interior not very attractive and missing a front door to separate it from the waiting lounge with drunken passengers. Good better than expected but interior less than what a high class restaurant should look. Still an eatery for busy passengers

Very Good Railroad Cafe

Jul 2024 • solo

Right next to the railroad station, this cafe is perfect for breakfast or lunch before boarding. There is a great selection and very reasonable prices.

Coffee and bagel filled

Aug 2021 • none

This time we quickly ate only coffee and stuffed bagels. Bagel was a little old. Customer service continues to be polite and good. The location of the restaurant is good next to the travel center.

Very normal buffet with greek mezes.

Jul 2024 • couples

It was very hot inside the restaurant inspite of stndalone aircondition machines. The food was not as good as we thought based on recommendations. Very basic finnish buffet with some creek style mezes.

Excellent value for money, home cooked delicious Finnish food!

Aug 2022 • family

Great value for money and tasty! We went for a three course lunch at a cost of under €12 (half price for children under 7). Starter of cauliflower and cheese soup, main of chicken with rice and vegetable (lots of salad options also), and desert of Finnish traditional kiisseli, which is a mixed berry cold soup. All the food was delicious! There is also water and a non alcoholic Finnish beer (kotikalja) along with coffee for after! Well worth every penny!!!

Lunch before the trip

Sept 2018 • couples

This restaurant has continued the tradition of the Railwaystation restaurant in the building since the 19th century with a versatile menu. Since the opening of Vaiha- restaurant a few years ago, the travellers and also local people have filled the seats especially at lunchtime. Good food and tradional notalgic enviroment takes you back to the history when travelling by train was a new experience.

Good lunch

Dec 2018 • none

The restaurant at the Old Railway Station offers good home-cooked food - Christmas is also a Christmas lunch. Because of the popularity, it is a little busy. Close to an hour or two parking spaces with a parking disc.

Very good quality and tasty Lunch in a small town railway station restaurant

Aug 2018 • couples

I was told in before hand that this railway station restaurant Vaiha is good. It is always pleasent when a restaurant surpasses your expectations. Vaiha did just that. The Lunch buffet consisted of pike-perch fish seljanka, pork in beautiful sauce with mashed potatoes, very tasty salad with very fresh tomatos and juicy root vegetables slowly cooked in owen. Everything is made of local area raw materials. And it all tasted so good. The place is tidy and service is good+. Old wooden railwaybuilding offers nice casual atmosphere. Price for lunch buffet was 10€. Recommendable.
