The veggie steak was absolutely horrible. The fish table was fine. The waiter recommended the most expensive wine, but luckily we had a person with us who knew a lot about wines for his profession. Kasvispihvi oli aivan kaamea. Kalahikepöytä ihan ok. Tarjoilija suositteli kaikkein...kalleinta viiniä mutta onneksi oli mukana ihminen joka tiesi paljon viineistä ammattinsa puolesta.More
We went here as a steak-loving couple, curious to try some local reindeer in a steak form. Upon entering you get to leave your coats by the staff-controlled rack (free of charge), which was a nice extra-service. However, they were a bit clumsy sometimes handling...the correct coats back to their rightful owners. Overall feeling of the place was cosy and nice, with nice a cabin-like interior design. Place was very crowded during our stay on thursday evening and sadly this seemed to also be too much for the staff to handle, affecting to their behavior/care for the customers. On our table the service was rather neutral/non-caring and there was not really much of "extra" emotion given to us. We understood the staff was busy on crowded evening, but after the food serving nobody was really interested to care for us afterwards, at all. Nobody cleaned our table of empty glasses nor were interested to hear our wishes for dessert/further needs. In the end we had to nudge waiter to actually get service. Lastly during the payment the waiter was rather rude/disrespectful to us customers, when after payment he just throws the paycard on table and leaves. Perhaps he was expecting a tip from us and got annoyed that we didn't tip this time (which also normally is left for customer to do anonymously during payment while waiter waits aside), but this time waiter directly asked if we wanted to tip or not, so he can proceed with the payment. But given to the service we got, there is MUCH to improve on customer service to earn that tip. In the end, food itself was good and okay, reindeer tasted very delicious with different sauces and overall dish was all fine, nothing too special still when compared to other steakhouses we've visited, except the reindeer steak possibility.More
The place to go in Levi when you want to have a good steak at decent price. We both had reindeer steaks which were cooked to perfection. Also the sauces and potatoes were really tasty.
We often go out for diner and it was a while back since we had such a fantastic tasty dinner. Everything was right, from the delicious fish buffet that was surprisingly tasty to the Reindeer steak with mushrooms saus. I had never tried reindeer but...I will eat it again for sure. Also if you eat here, definitely try the garlic potatoes side dish. This was amazing and I often don’t even like potatoes! Make sure you try out this restaurant when in Levi!More
Pihvipirtti is definately up there when it comes to listing the best restaurants in Levi. Fishy starter buffet and the meat mains is a nice combo and the quality and tastes are excellent. Unfortunately this time the service was not excellent, rather medium. As an...example only half of our group of about 20 were asked if we wanted coffee with our desert. The waiter/waitress changed at least three tine during our dinner and no one seemed to be ”in charge” of our table. While I would expect some hickups in the service at peak time of the season, but mid January is not even close to peak. I hope they get their act together before the masses arrive in Feb-March.More
This was the best restaurant we went to in Levi and although it was also the most expensive, it is worth it. The buffet starter dishes were a wonderful range of fish/seafood and salads and you could easily be full after that. We thought our...reindeer steaks were perfectly cooked and we enjoyed the range of sauces to go with it. Staff were welcoming, friendly and efficient.More
Very good and tasty meat , delicious sauces and perfect service !🦌 Beef 150g was perfectly served with baked vegetables, same with reindeer. I recommend to take beef as the medium well and reindeer medium or medium minus if you’re bloody meat lover 😏 Thank...you Hullu Poro, we will comeback here for sureMore
We got this place recommended by our hotel receptionist who had heard good things but not tried. It was definitely worth the visit. My friend loved the three course dinner of fish buffet, Steaks then panacotta whilst I had a lovely vegan patty. The food...and service was great.More
Amazing exprience. The food, service and place all were excellent. Remember to make a reservation, it was all booked even it at wednesday!
To start with I was very suspicious about a seafood buffet as a starter but must say that it was a positive surprise. I generally don’t like to queue for food in buffets but here the queue was not too bad and worth the few-minute...standing in the queue. All the dishes in the plentiful buffet were fresh and delicious; my definite favourites were fish quenelles and cold-smoked pike. As the main course reindeer steak with pepper sauce and a baked potatoe was really excellent. Service by the young staff was friendly, cheerful and attentive from the entrance to good-byes. The one missing star is due to the somewhat noisy atmosphere, i.e. this is not a place for a romantic candle-light dinner but serves many other occations very well. Definitely a positive experience and the set menu including the buffet, the steak and the dessert was a good value for money.More
Absolutely one of the bests restaurants in Finland. Absolutely the best pepper souce and garlic potatos I’ve ever eated.
We enjoyed everything about this place. Very friendly welcome and service. Our first experience of eating reindeer which was absolutely delicious, served in a game sauce with garlic potatoes along with a good bottle of red. It was so enjoyable we ate here twice in...a week. If you’re looking for a place that feels Finnish don’t hesitate to book. Price was reasonable compared to other establishments in Levi. Will come again in a heartbeat.More
My first experience of reindeer steak. The restaurant was recommended by one of the guides and it did live up to expectations. A good glass of red wine was a perfect accompaniment.
Most definitely the best meal I had in Finland. Great variety of foods in the starters buffet and exceptional reindeer steak as main. Hearty food and great cocktail of sparkling wine and cloudberries. Friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommended.
Fab restaurant with amazing steaks but mainly steak! There’s a buffet for starters but we didn’t have these. Then you pick your meat, sauce & side to order. Only 1 dessert on offer but we’ll worry it if you like steak!
