Always busy, very popular ... the blueberry cheesecake showed me why that popularity is…read morewell-deserved. Blueberries and cake usually do not go well together like horse and carriage for me, but at CaféArt both did and, what is more, they brought my taste buds to tears the moment my piece of cake was eaten. But sitting by the river and bathing in sunshine helped me keeping my countenance ;oD. The Finns just know what excellent cake is ... born geniuses :o)! Even sitting inside would have been fun because CaféArt is a mix between a kind of Vienna coffeehouse and trendy café with some cheeky pictures on the walls. I loved it and took a small amount of its relaxed atmosphere with me to put into my suitcase ...

This cafe served up great coffee.  We ordered Cappuccino doppio soy option, which was great - like…read moreNZ style flat white - good temperature and soy milk done well (I saw an oat milk carton on the side so if that is your preference you can probably ask for it too).  We also had a sweet pastry with a long finnish name that I cant remember- which was good but nothing special.  I would come back for the coffee tho!

I arrived on a Friday for lunch not knowing what to expect and was surprised by a buffet with…read moreNordic food, very interesting and large accommodations, and a quiet beer garden in back. I'm sure your mileage may vary depending on when you come and whether this buffet is consistent or rotational, but regardless, I think the venue is well worth a visit if you have time.

First evening visiting Turku and my wife and I were looking for place to eat that also served local…read moreor regional beer. Found this brewpub and it looked like a neat place. The building has an old antique feel with lots of dark wood. Plenty of tables and booths spread across multiple rooms, it appears this place could hold a lot of people. It was mostly empty when we were here, but that was on a Monday evening. I imagine on the weekend it can get pretty busy with so much room for people. We ordered a ribs and a hamburger and they were huge portions. We could have easily ordered one meal and shared it. The burger was a pretty good standard burger with a big patty and lots of vegetable on it, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle. The ribs were a big, lots of meat, and better than the burger. Neither was the best in its respective category, but both were satisfying and good. No complaints. They both came with potatoes that were like a cross between chips and fries. They were awesome! I have never had fries like this before. They were wide and flat, thinner than fries but thicker than chips so that they still had some soft potato inside but were nice and crispy at the same time. I would come back just for the fries, some of the best I have eaten. The beer was okay, but in the world of craft beer there is definitely room for improvement. The Kakolan Kalpea pale ale was decent but not as flavorful as I prefer. The Lehtori lager had a strange, bad taste and I really did not like it all. It tasted skunky as if it had gone bad or was old. The Vehnä wheat beer was the best I beer I drank here. It tasted like a traditional German hefeweizen with the banana and clove flavors clearly noticeable and was very enjoyable to drink. I would visit again for the wheat beer and fries.
