Restaurant Pöllöwaari

Great food and service. Mixed and matched the food we ate from the various tasting menus. Although everything we ate from the vegan menu was amazing and I would recommend that, even if you are a meat eater.

Really good surprise, close to city center. Great and fun staff, food was amazing and the exclusive wine menu was affordable and well matched. Traditional Finnish summer soup (kesäkeitto) was the biggest surprise. Definitely will go again for the surprise menu.

Had the six course tasting menu on dinner. Amazing service, amazing food, really well paired wines. Interior of the restaurant is classy. Price was 150€/person with premium wines and aperitives. I would say that the experience was worth the price.

Excellent experience. 6 courses tasting menu. Some were truly superb, such as goose, some slightly less so, green asparagus for example. Paired wines were really special. Impeccable service.

Very exclusive restaurant. Amazing service and delicious dishes. Strongly recommend!

Breakfast and dinner very nice! Lil champagne with weekend breakfast is a plus too. Nom nom nom

Fine dining with excellent service. Very interesting wines! I recommend one of the tasting menus and a wine pairing!

From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, our experience was amazing. The meal was absolutely top drawer. Amazing on all levels. The atmosphere and service was of fine quality. Definitely will recommend to all and will boast the experience. We have traveled the globe, yet have to rank this experience in the top 5.. Beyond Thankful 🙏

This review is for the hotel, haven't eaten in the restaurant. This is a fabulous boutique hotel with individually designed rooms which each have their own theme. I've stayed here a couple of times and the rooms are beautiful up to a finest detail. The service is fantastic, always friendly and knowledgeable staff. The breakfast is so good you can easily skip lunch. The breakfast buffet includes many salty and sweet items, fresh veggies and fruit, hand crafted omelet, salmon, yogurt, Karelian pies and so much more. Don't miss the tyrni shots on the side shelf, they are fabulous! The hotel also provides a welcome drink, ask for a non alcoholic one if you're interested, they are delicious! Really great hotel, one of my best stays. If I had more time, would spend some of it at the hotel itself. I'd only miss a gym attached to the hotel but they provide an access to a nearby hotel downtown. The word is that this is the best hotel in town and cannot but agree!

This place was excellent! Many of us in the party tried the "land" menu which included the lamb neck. It sounded a little risky, but we were assured by our waiter that it was excellent and after describing how it was prepared via slow cooking many of us decided to take a chance on it, as it is always nice to try something new that you normally don't eat. None of us were disappointed. The dish was excellent as well as the service. There is a reason this place is #1 on other review sites! Price: The evening got pretty expensive in our party of 7, but you can probably scrape by okay with the a la carte menu if you want to limit the spending but still enjoy a fine dining experience.
