On New Year´s Eve KuuKuu recommended a special festive menu. The appetizer with blini and pike-perch ceviche gave a promising start, fresh and tasty. The sorbet with rosemary mareng was uninspiring, watery and with some visible but not tasteable rosemary.

The main dish, lamb, was a peculiar roll of skin, fat and some meat. Tough to cut, difficult to chew, and very little to eat. The sauce was delicious, but...

The dessert was also disappointing, a champagne-white chocolate curd with some cloudberry, weakish in taste and served in a glass jar, baby-meal size. Not at all in line with the other tableware.

Service was quick, the obvious questions about the food were asked, but the comments were not heard.

Lovely little restaurant in Toolo has excellent food. I found all of it totally over salted though.

Now I know the fins have a penchant for salty things but for me this was too much. From the butter covered in salt crystals, the breads to the meal itself it was over done and spoiled what was a lovely tasting meal otherwise.

Staff are very friendly and service was excellent.

I had lunch here last week; I was lucky as I didn't have a reservation but I arrived shortly after 1 pm and there were a few spaces open for walk-ins. For 29 Euro, you could get a starter, a main, and a dessert. Helsinki is very expensive so for lunch that is reasonable value. The starter was a soup of root veggies, and it was very, very good - hearty with a great flavor. My main was sauteed reindeer, and I was disappointed. The meat was dry, tough, and fatty. The accompanying mashed potatoes were good. Dessert was brioche with ice cream, and it was refreshing. Service was very friendly throughout. I would give it another go, but just skip the reindeer.
