My experience was excellent and memorable! It was lovely to sit outside on the patio on a warm summer day. The building and scenery are beautiful, the staff was professional and friendly, and food and drinks were perfect. Amazing experience!

The location of the restaurant is excellent, with a sea view from the terrace and next to the main art museums in Vaasa. Lunch was buffet style with a very good selection to start with. The main course was delivered by the chef through the...kitchen window, there was a choice of fish or meat (and perhaps veg, don't know for sure). We had salmon and it was very good. The sides (warm vegetables and potatoes) could be self-selected from a buffet. A good experience.More

This long established restaurant is popular with locals and tourists. Part of the restaurant has water views and the building could best be described as an oversized gazebo. The food menu is good with a nice variety of dishes to choose from. The "wine by...the glass" on offer is very poor. I had the Fish Plate as a starter and although the White Fish tartar was not as fresh as it should have been the dish overall was fine. The main dish of fried White Fish with chanterelles was good. The restaurant was not busy, but the service was slow and definitely not up to a standard you would expect from one of the better restaurants in town. The rating reflects the lack of a reasonable wine selection and below average service. If this restaurant just smartened up the service and offered a better choice of wines it could become great restaurant.More

We went to Strampen for dinner and it was excellent! The food was very good we had seafood soup and fish . The service was also very good and nice atmosphere. Totally recommend it and I would go back any time

quality of food esp fish dishes (we had perch) was just amazing. nice atmosphere, cosy niches and at the same time bistro-bar like. nice

You order at the bar yourself for practical reasons No big deal. Food and drink and service quality is Fast and Fab. They even had meat from new zealand on the menu. (So a little unhappy with the environmental impact of such practices.) We enjoyed...a gorgeous Fish dish with potatoes and a gigantic side of sweet potatoes and halloumi salad. No complaints at all. Would happily live next door for the rest of the summer.More

We spent a great time with many colleagues. The service was very nice and the food very tasty. Also for vegetarians.

It's always a pleasure to eat lunch at Strampen. The food and the service are both very good. This time we happened to visit when it was basically fully booked, but the lines to wait for foid weren't even that long. And as usual, there...was the salad table, the main course and the coffee table. The food was excellent, as usual. The only reason I'm not giving it a full score this time is because of the seagulls, house sparrows and other birds that tried to get their share of our food, since we sat outside on the terrace. So you can't really blame Strampen for them...More

Nice location on waterfront in Vaasa. The food looked very good and tasted even better. Very friendly and efficient service. Knowledgable and the waitress did not hesitate to question my choice of wine with the dish “to light for the sauce that goes with the...dish”. I took her advice and she was absolutely right!More

Superb dinner with a fantastic menu! The Christmas buffet menu includes local and traditional dishes. The building is old but in good condition. Strampen is situated nearby the see and the views are fantastic.

Beautiful place by the sea. Terrace in summer time. Lunch with salad buffet and 2-3 main courses, one with meat and one with fish, sometimes vegetarian, has great value for money. You pay your lunch first. A la carte available as well.

I headed here for lunch following reviews from a couple of locals and funnily enough saw one of them eating when I went in - so it clearly wasn’t a ploy! A lovely ambience and some relaxing music playing in the background. I came by...in late October and the views from inside over the water were great but I can imagine it would be even nicer over summer on the veranda! Busy for a Wednesday lunch and the staff were all friendly whilst the food really hit the spot! Pretty much 3 courses including coffee for under €13 which was incredible especially when the quality of the buffet starter and main from the kitchen were so good. The sweet treat at the end really put the cherry on the icing on the cake! A must visit!More
