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.

By far, the best restaurant experience I've had in Finland (and perhaps anywhere else). The food was a combination of unique flavors mixed with traditional Finnish cuisine. Literally the best new potato I've ever had. Not to mention the raw strawberry - trust me, you'll never want to eat a ripe strawberry again. The food is certainly fine-dining, but the atmosphere is light, relaxed and fun. Our server was attentive, but not overbearing and his descriptions of the food were as good as the meals themselves. The owners are incredible, too. We had a slight issue with our check and they corrected it immediately without any questions. Kajo is a must-visit restaurant for locals of Tampere and tourists alike. 11 out of 10 would recommend.

I have enjoyed a full evening menu in Kajo two times, and the third one is in the books. On the basis of these two visits Kajo has clearly risen to the absolute top of my fine dining experiences ever. The service is warm an attentive, and the menu has been crafted to my vegan wishes with care – rethought out thoroughly, not just tweaked fromn the existing menu. The long evenings are two diverse to dissect here, but I just want to mention a few gems: the potato-tomato main course, full of flavour and a surprisingly good combination; the potato "doughnuts" dipped in onion gel; Jerusalem artichoke with pear – a first!; the succulent celeriac tartar; the swede spaghetti – and the swede ice cream!
These good people are artists without becoming pretentious. The wine selection is to die for.

Restaurant Kajo is located in the middle of Tampere, opposite to train station. Despite of big windows overlooking the street, it has a cozy and warm atmosphere even in the middle of the winter.
Service was smooth: professional & friendly through the meal.
And the meal: it really was exceptionally good both taste and presentation wise. We enjoyed "normal" and "vegetarian tasting menus" which resembled each other a lot both by presentation and by taste. This was nice! Usually when enjoying a longer menu you find "highs and lows". This was not the case in Kajo since all the courses were truly amazing. There were plenty of surprising and yet very tastes coming up with the plates. Each course was served and presented by a chef, so you got really to know a bit more of each dish.
The drink at matched packages were perfect as well. Conveniently they have 100% wine package, 505/%0 wine /alcohol free and 100% alcohol free packages.
The meal costed approximately 320 euros for two (two 9-course tasting menus, matched drink packages and aperitif champagnes). For this experience I rate this a bargain.
In France and Central Europe Michelin team "throws the stars" a bit every here and quite often without any true reason or justification. In that scale Kajo would have received 2 stars in France.

Like always, less would have been more. 2/6 courses on menu were okay, even tasty but too many did’t work. Too many really fancy looking things on a plate, but all tastes did not work together or were too complicated. 5/6 portions were lukewarm - we were not sure should they be cold or hot. Wines were quite expensive and not that expectional. Not worth the money. Disappointment.

We did have the 4 course menu
Absolutely marvellous, super taste
A lot of local Finnish products 👍
The wine recommendations for each menu was good, except the last.
Only minus is that they do not ask if the wine is fine with you, or you could taste it. Like in our case the last wine would newer have been choose . Now we had to order and pay for an other class of wine
If this would be different the place would be top of top

Went as a group of 4, had an excellent time. Food was delightful and wine pairings worked well (not stellar, but good). Very good presentation, good service, and really appreciated the use of summery herbs and tastes in the seasonal menu. Might've been a bit over the top for some dishes, but on the whole highly enjoyable. As a strange but minor quibble, the restaurant had asked us beforehand if fish was okay for those of us with vegetarian diets, but they still ended up serving veg options, with fish only for meat eaters. Regardless, would recommend and will certainly visit again.

We've heard good things, walked passed, but finally reserved a table. A menu plus the wine package; a very well thought through experience, sometimes on a wilder side and thus maybe not for everyone, but I totally loved it. Local ingredients, wild herbs, interesting combinations, beutifully plated. Excellent.

Excellent use of herbs and spices. Various small dishes prepared with care - truly beaufiful to look at and really something special to taste.
Wines were well selected and excellent match with the menu.
I don't often write this kind of recommendations but this place is definitely worth a visit!

An absolutely unforgettable birthday gift to myself. Their vegan menu was excellent, with complementing wine pairings. I especially enjoyed the natural, clean flavours, and mixes of textures. The only critique I can give, is that some elements of some of the dishes were a bit too salty.

Very innovative food. We had a set menu with a wine package. Food quality was excellent, however, there were a couple of minor issues. Wine package matched the food nicely. Best food in Tampere at the moment!

We were absolutely amazed. No words can describe how surprising and strong flavours we had in three hours.
The atmosphere, staff, food, even the toilets were an experience worth every penny and even more. We’ll definitely be back!

Visited as a couple in early December 2021. Amazing tastes, perfect, proactive service with a smile, and just a great touch of personality to everything. Felt like just the right place for a romantic evening. Will definitely visit again.

Worth every penny; great tastes, fresh & local, one of the best dinner experiences in Finland. Enough room between tables during COVID; feels comfortable

The food was delicious 👍
But making a reservation and having a table under the jackets and no respect for Covid 19 distance, tables next to each other’s
Any way, we decided to stay and it did pay out
Wine selection was not that great, the sparkling wine for the aperitif was terrible, has to oder some champagne
Also some other wine selection where wired, but that’s always a question or f taste
I recommend for the food
Wine selection not my cup of tee
