The shop is cute with two levels - the upper level having a nice cozy set of chairs and lovely view of the market square. The deserts are always excellent - all that decadent flavor one would expect of American sweets. The shop owner and employees are friendly and it is always a pleasure to stop by when we drive up to Turku from Helsinki. We typically leave with 6 cupcakes from the drive back home at the end of the day.

Delicious, fresh Finnish food for a bargain. Especially their fish is to die for. There is a wait…read morefor a outside table but it's worth it.

Confession: I heart Mami. It's one of my favorite restaurants in Turku. I've had lunch here (at…read moreleast) 3 times in the past 10 days. I think the wait staff is starting to recognize me. Lunch: - Choose from a soup, salad, meat, or fish course. (small/large portions for soups & salads) - One dessert option. Never disappointing. - Comes with tea/coffee. (choices include a cappuccino or cafe latte ... not only your typical brewed/drip coffee.) - Don't want to wait? Avoid the crowds and come after 12:30. (They're open until 15:00). Clarification: Soups & salads are Nothing like your boring watered-down chicken noodle soup (or whatever the equivalent is in Finland) and uninspired wilted greens. It's much more elevated than that. Think: celery soup with salmon tartare, goat cheese & cashew salad. I'm not a big salad person, but find myself diving into a bowl of crisp lettuce more often than not. And the portions are very generous. I'm usually good with a small soup/salad plus dessert. Which sets me back only 10-11€... such a bargain! If coming for dinner, make reservations!! A little pricey but totally worth it. Kiitos!

Four-course menu was really delicious. The seafood was really fresh and all cooked perfectly, as…read morewere accompanying vegetables. Ice cream had the clearest fresh milk taste I've ever encountered. In the four-course menu, things can taste a bit repetitive. A lot of the dishes, we realized, are highly reminiscent of traditional Finnish salmon soup. That is, they're based on big pieces of seafood placed under a big white broth. To be fair, this definitely means it's a spin on classic Finnish cuisine, with perfectly cooked seafood and the like. But for a cohesive four-course menu, it might have been nice to have something else. There's more to Finnish food than salmon soup. Another thing: bread was a bit weird. The portions were small and they seemed to compensate with the biggest pieces of bread I've ever seen, which looked more like American white bread than like anything Finnish. That was rather bizarre and confusing. But, still delicious food, prepared at a very consistent high level, and it really takes a Finnish spin on New Nordic.

Fantastic food. I took their 6 course dinner, two starters, two main courses and two desserts, and…read moreeach course was an amazing taste experience. Amazing food, good wine and good service!
