An excellent seven course surprise menu at a reasonable price. The exclusive wine packet treated to lovely wines. Compliments to the kitchen!
The decor and lightning are in great need of updating.
The waitress tried too much and got some wine introductions hilariously wrong.
Will...certainly return when visiting Jyväskylä again.More
A magnificent surprise menu with 6 courses and exclusive wines matched with the dishes. Highly recommend this experience, the only weakness was really slow service, it took almost 4 hours to finish the whole menu.
Ravintola Pöllöwaari has been nominated as the best restaurant inm Jyväskylä & Central Finland for years - and still for a very good reason. Atmosphere is somewhat old fashioned, but yet cozy. The service was smooth and friendly. The menu is not very vast but...instead well thought. The amuse bouche served the purpose well and the starter (beef tartar was truly delicious. The main course (pike pearch) was cooked at perfection and the wine pairing was perfect. The dessert was also mouth watering. Also my vegan colleague was over the moon about the menu she got. All in all, very strong recommendation.More
Visit Pöllöwaari Hotel if you like a relaxing athmosphere, good food and wine, lovely rooms, good beds (and pillows), sauna, and all round service. Buffer breakfast is outstanding! Superb value for money.
The excellence of the service and the quality of food makes the experience of dining fine Art. Never get disappointed here. This restaurant cannot be compared to the other ones nearby, itt is unique.
Very nice and well thought dinner with “non-standard” portions and great wine recommendations. Children got half portions with changes when needed which was nice.
This restaurant is absolutely top notch! High-quality Finnish ingredients and well thought food and wine pairing. Wine list includes some unique and excellent findings. You can choose from carefully planned menus (6-course surprise tasting menu costs 79€) or just go for a la carte dishes....The marbled beef was cooked perfectly medium rare as chefs recommended, and it completely melted in my mouth. There aren't so many places where steaks are cooked to perfection and chefs will recommend how each type of beef should be cooked, this is one of them.
Professional, heart-warming and personal service too! Worth every single penny! Definitely will come again 😍More
A very lovely place in terms of interior, music and atmosphere. For the price the startes and dessert vere good but the main (meat) could have been better I think. However that beeing said everything else on the plate was super good except the meat...itself. A special mention must be given to the bread as that was amazing especially the dark one.More
