It took a while to put the order in and decided to order a 400 g boneless ribeye with Caesar Salad and Parmesan fries. I ordered rosemary butter and cognac green pepper sauce for the steak. It took a while for the food to arrive and I was hungry when the food showed up. I started to cut through the steak and it was tough to cut through. I can't remember ever cutting through a ribeye that tough. The steak was chewy like rubber but the rosemary butter and cognac green pepper sauce were good. The Caesar Salad and Parmesan fries were also good. The server didn't check on us much and it took a while to be able to request the bill and check out. Both the quality of the meat and the service could have been better. I typically don't mention price in my reviews but in this case I paid a premium but did not get premium food or service in return. 2.5 stars!

During my Finland trip I wanted to try as much local food culture as I could, and though the decor in Harald restaurants is quite tacky and touristy, I just had to try it. Their menu offers lots of amazing choices, I tried the smoked reindeer soup for a starter, which was very rich and smooth and went really well with the cranberry puree it's topped with. For my main I chose the Sausage Pan Of Alf Leatherpants, which comes with succulent lamb sausages, very rich game sausage, the most delicious cheese potatoes, beetroot and lots of caramelized onion. It was a rich, earthy dish with a lot of great flavours, perfect for a cold winter night! For dessert I treated myself to Iona's Liquorice Mousse, which consisted of a fine, delicate liquorice mousse, raspberry and liquorice sorbet, liquorice meringue and a light raspberry syrup. This sounded like it might be a little too much, especially as I'm not a huge fan of liquorice, but I felt drawn to it and had to give it a go. Turns out it is nowhere near as overwhelming as I suspected it might be, the flavours are delicate and light, the textures compliment each other really well, and the raspberry lightens up the dish to give it a sweet and tart undertone. It was definitely one of the best desserts I've ever had! The staff were also very nice and accommodating, my visit here was a very pleasant experience and I'd definitely come back! Delicious food, fun decor, really friendly staff, just an overall great experience.
