Simple, fresh, and genuine sushi experience in Kauppahalli, Tampere. Complimentary tea and (unique)…read moremiso soup set the scene for a truly impressive and intimate sushi experience. I can say with confidence - this is the best sushi in Finland! Fair warning though - Seating is limited! Thank you :)

Their prices are very reasonable but once you taste the sushi you will understand why. The sushi was not as cold as you would expect and had almost no flavor. It was quite a let down and just okay. The miso soup was very good though.

The sushi is COLD n NOT FRESH. The Misu soup is EXTREMELY SALTY. The rice is super hard and difficult to swallow. Well for a so called buffet cost 12 euro, you have many better choices in Tampere. I don't know why this restaurant can survive today. Being a customer, I feel I like being cheated!

I recently dined at Tuulensuu on a Thursday evening with a friend. The place is cozy and has a good…read moreatmosphere. As far as beers go, they have a huge bottle selection and also some good stuff on tap. I started with a domestic Amber Ale (Maku Brewing) half pint draft -- great that they offer smaller sizes so you can sample around. Maybe I have commitment issues. The beer selection reflects the Belgian theme of the place. I'm more of an IPA guy, and took a pint of their only IPA tap (Jaipur, Thornbridge Brewery). For food, I had the schnitzel, which was solid -- evidenced by my cleaned plate. Finished with a Stella for liquid dessert. If your beer tastes favor Central Europe and/or you're looking for a quiet, classier place to wine and dine, I highly recommend Tuulensuu. The staff were also friendly and knowledgeable. Book a table in advance -- the place filled up quickly.

The atmosphere is very nice, the staff knows their stuff and the clients tend to be a bit on the well earning hipster side. Try their lunch also sometime. I enjoyed my lunch salad quite much.

UkkoMetso is a cozy restaurant in Hämeenpuisto, Tampere which has a terrace out in Hämeenpuisto in…read morethe summer and a year-round restaurant indoors across the street from the terrace. UkkoMetso's specialty is their great selection of beers, local and imported. Their food isn't too bad either but I believe people come here primarily for enjoying a great beer in a nice environment. On the terrace beer selection is not as great as indoors but on warm afternoons and evenings also the terrace / patio is a good alternative. I've eaten at UkkoMetso a few times now. I've had the AkkaMetso burger twice which is the chicken burger and pretty ok though I wouldn't mind making it a bit more spicy. Somehow the sauce just lacks a "special" taste. The fries that came with the burger were great. One time I also ordered the portion with veggie balls and really enjoyed it. And the dessert was a delight too! For me, the best thing about the place is the atmosphere. For my husband, the great selection of beers :)

I've been to UkkoMetso twice -- truly a proper gastropub. The place is fairly roomy and both times…read moreI've been there, plenty of space is available. On this early Wednesday evening visit, I chose to sit at the bar desk -- oddly a rare option in Finland. I started with a Radbrew Ranger APA -- a domestic craft brew on tap here. I'd had it before and it did not disappoint -- tasty as usual. For dinner I had the escargot with goat cheese -- savory, but needed more bread to soak up all of that delicious fat. This was the first time I've dined at UkkoMetso, and it was a pleasant experience. Good service, good brew selection, good food. Solid all around. My only real critique is the beer prices -- hard for me to stomach dropping nearly 10 EUR for a pint of domestic craft brew. If you're looking for that upscale pub vibe, UkkoMetso is sure to please. While the prices are a little steep for this to be my regular watering hole, for sure I'll return :)
