Hands down, awesome. Whenever I visit Turku, this is one of my first stops. They're set up for…read moretake-away (no seating) -- but I usually ask for a paper plate (to eat ASAP, need the instant gratification) and get a sampler of 5-6 different things: Shrimp salad, crayfish salad, whitefish, herring, roe, and... salmon carpaccio. Which, by the way, is a total religious experience. In my opinion, it rivals some of the best salmon sashimi in Tokyo. The staff is friendly and super-helpful. On a slow afternoon, one of the guys actually pulled out a burner and pan fried a blini to go with my fish roe! (which was beyond delicious). Herkkunuotta is 1 of 2 fish stalls in the Kauppahalli. The 2nd fish vendor is just the next stall over -- it's maybe twice (or 3x) as large but never as crowded. Go with the collective wisdom on this one. You'll be glad you did.

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!

Both dishes were really good. The pizza crust was good and surprisingly the toppings worked well together and didn't feel like a dessert pizza. The steak was well cooked and everything that came with it worked well. Our server was really friendly and overall we had a positive experience. There is also a nice view of the water out front. We sat inside and the vibes were good.

With the COVID lockdown we ordered our meal online and collected at the restaurant, so far so good. When I got the order, I noticed that one of the four meals that we had ordered was missing. The manager told me it would be 15 minutes wait for the missing meal to be prepared. Not a huge deal since everyone is adapting to ordering food online during the lockdown. While waiting I went out to my car to listen to some music, and I noticed the same manager running down the street with my order in hand. Rather than wait for me to come back to collect the food, he dashed out and found my car to make sure I had the food as soon as it was possible. As an added bonus, an extra parcel of lovely warm naan was added to the order. At home, the food totally lived up to the standard inside the restaurant. This is a great establishment with lovely people. I'm glad they're in Turku.

Specials and other everyday items are posted on 5-6 chalkboards scattered around the restaurant. Factor in the 6-8 page menu, and you lose at least 10 minutes trying to decide what to order. Best plan of attack: Go with an idea of what you want (pizza/pasta/meat/salad) before even entering. - I got the Pizza Margherita. Yes, it's simple. Thin-crust pizza stripped down to the basics: Tomato & mozzarella. And always a good barometer of how "Italian" the food really is. Verdict? Nothing special, just OK. Tasted slightly better than it looked. Hate to say it, but I could have mistaken it for supermarket pizza. - My friend's pizza, covered with salad greens and ham, looked more appetizing. - My other friend's pasta dish (cannelloni, maybe) looked less than appetizing. Like it was covered with hardened, burnt cheese. Wait staff was nice enough. Nothing out of the ordinary. On the whole, I'd really give this place 2 1/2 stars.
