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.

We were on holiday in Turku for a summer music festival, and were hoping to try some traditional Finnish food. This unassuming restaurant was actually quite close to our accomodation, and we decided to give it a try, even though it didn't appear very fancy,...and was away from the main restaurant town area. However, we were very surprised by how lovely it looked inside, and the kind, welcoming attitude of the servers. They were extremely friendly, and we felt very cared for! My partner ordered toast skagen to start, and then a seafood and cream cheese pizza. The toast skagen was beautiful, and the pizza was also very high quality, and very delicious. The menu has a great mix of traditional dishes and modern things. Unfortunately, there was a mistake with my dish. I ordered a large, main course version of toast skagen, hoping for the same prawns, boiled egg, mayo, rye bread, and roe, that I had seen my partner have in small starter form. However, I recieved no prawns, and instead had two large dollops of mayos and red onion. I did not realise the mistake until halfway through, and this meant I could only eat one rye bread and the egg, as I really don't like the flavour of raw onion. When we told the waitress, she was very apologetic, and didn't charge us for the meal. Mistakes happen and I am sure this was a real one off, and if I had had the dish before and realised the mistake, I would've said straight away, and I feel definite they would've happily provided me with the right thing! I will definitely try toast skagen again! Overall, while we had a bad experience, I would highly recommend the restaurant :)More

Legendary place in Turku! I went here for a business lunch and took alcohol-free beer and peppersteak. Prices are decent, service is nice and food was tasty. Nice atmosphere where you can feel the history of restaurant

The main concept here is of course... the pepper! Pepper steaks in different shapes and sizes. Classical and even nowadays... why not?! The steak itself was all OK. Tender and quite tasty with the pepperish sauce. However, served with rather mushy potato croquettes. Nah. Accompanied...by two small abandoned carrot pieces. Nah. Drinks ok (small wine list) and service kind and attentive.More

Härän sisäfilee oli täydellistä, todella maukasta. Jäätelöannos mansikoilla kruunasi illallisen! Tulen ehdottomasti uudelleen. The beef was absolutly perfect. Very tasty. An ice-cream bowl with strawberries and whipped cream was top-notch! I’m sure I’ll come here again

Our first time eating at this restaurant. Although it was early Saturday evening, it became full very quickly. Good sign we thought. And we weren't disappointed. Very good service, food was delicious. Would definitely recommend this place. Prices ok by Finnish standards.

I have been many many times with my family in Pippurimylly, when our kids were living at home. Thus quite a many years ago. We had with our friends dinner before theatre in Pippurimylly. My feeling was that it has lost something - atmosphere was...not same as it used to be. Food was mediocre, service okeish,... I would say that I was dissapointed.More

A classical family restaurant since 1974. On Saturday afternoon fully booked so make a reservation beforehand. Young families, old friends celebrating perhaps someone's birthday - and us after buried an urn. Truly friendly service and a versatile menu.

Restaurant is been operational since 1974 in same place and same owner. It is not located in the city center so getting there may need a taxi. The place is very popular among locals so reservation is required, specially @ weekends and holidays. The most...famous dish is (Peppersteak à la Pippurimylly) and it hasn't changed over the years, so visually it looks like a gas station food, but trust me is not! Honest pepper stake with plenty of pepper gravy, this is so enjoyable! 160G sPeppersteak à la Pippurimylly = 32€, not bad, worth of trying out! Thanks to the great staff, you made our evening!More

This place has been around forever so decided to give it a go. I ordered a classic 160 g pepper steak. Dish was served with potato croquettes, some vegetables and creamy sauce. Steak and sauce were quite nice. Veggies were overcooked to a point of...turning into mash and potatoes were no different to something you'd get at a ABC gas stations lunch. Lack of enthusiasm at kitchen watered down this whole experience very badly. Two waitresses served us. I expect to get at least an eye contact when discussing my order. Other one was very friendly. Restaurant was almost full for some unknown reason so the noise level was through the roof. A cart full of forks, knives etc was parked apparently permanently between two tables for some quick table setting. I understand the point but they should really consider this again. Waitress setting the tables was not exactly discreet when picking up cutlery from the cart. I can shake a can full of nuts & bolts next to my ear at home if I want to listen to such noise. Turku has some excellent restaurants but this sadly is not one of them. Make yourself a favor and go somewhere else. We will.More

We had heard that this was one of the best steak restaurants in Turku, but boy, were we disapponted! The steak was ok, but the side dishes were plain miserable. The vegetables were overcooked to the point of being mushy, and the potato chips were...the same you can find in every market's freezer. Not something you think you'll have on 25-35€ dish.. The restaurant itself was quite full, so the noise level was almost intolerable. I had hard time hearing what my companion was saying from the other side of the table. Surely not worth of going second time. The pub Hugo downstairs instead is a nice place to have a drink or two, and the pizzas are very nice.More

This place is one of the oldest standing restaurants in Turku and for a good reason. They serve perfectly cooked steaks and other meat dishes. Every time I've been here (which is many) I haven't left the place hungry. They also serve great fish dishes...for those who don't care for meat.More

This restaurant is a little out of the town centre but not too far to be inaccessible for those who care to walk. There are tables provide for approximately 70 diners and during our visit most were occupied, but the large number of staff who...all worked tirelessly, in good humour and efficiently meant that the food was served without any undue delay. The kitchen staff cooked the meat to perfection and the salad bar - free for warm dishes - had a number of alternatives and was well provisioned. There is a narrow exterior balcony which no doubt provides additional tables during summer months and without doubt this is a very fine place to dine and obviously popular with families: best to book a table in advance to avoid disappointment.More
