Perfect summer dinner under the sun at Kakola hill. All food was excellent and the portions were really big. We didn’t manage for desert as there was so much to eat. Not cheap but very tasty and highly recommended

We went to Kakolan Ruusu with another couple and enjoyed the evening a lot. The food was very inventive, with combinations that you wouldn’t expect, but very tasty. And they accomodated the dishes well for my wife, who is highly allergic.
The personnel was very knowledgeable and went in-depth into both the dishes ajd the wine, and the pairings worked very well.
The restaurant is located in an interesting environment and is definitely wort visiting if you are a foodie, and especially if you are looking for something a bit more casual!
