The last time I was in The Bay, I set up court there as 5 morning meetings were there out of 10 days. The meals are still great value and tasty. If in town, give it a go, you will enjoy the meal and experience.

Everytime we are in Thunderbay it is a given that we must go to the Hoito restaurant. Time stands still here. It is like walking into a restaurant in the 1960's. Huge portions, excellent pancakes.

In a beautiful historic building, this is one place you want to visit!! The service is lightening fast, efficient and the food is awesome. They serve traditional Finnish pancakes which are almost the same as my German mom's!! This is a must for Thunder Bay!!

I visited The Hoito by myself. I sat at the counter with some older Finnish gentlemen and was served immediately. The surroundings were noisy, but fun. The food was fresh, and tasty. The cost was affordable. The bathroom was small but clean. The servers were friendly and the Finnish gentlemen funny. I was a single gal, enjoying the scenery and... More

Great service, family atmosphere and terrific food. Mingle with the other clientele and learn more of the area and the scandinavian history of the area.
