We had a dinner in this restaurant on our trip to Kuopio. Earlier this was our favorite restaurant, but not anymore. The quality of food was poor, only thing that was on fine dining level were the prices!
As a starter we had mousse of...smoked fish, that was tasteless, we did not taste fish at all, only the cucumber. Main dishes were still worse: menu promised barbecued beef, but what we got on the plate was a miserable pile of meat that was chuck steak (etuselkä in Finnish). That part is suitable for soups or pots, but not for barbecue. The meat was like rubber and we could not eat it at all (see picture). However, the choice of poor material is good for restaurant's profits: chuck steak costs 11 euros per kilo, versus beef file that would cost 50-60 euros per kilo.
The other main was fresh water fish with pees. I got one very little piece pike perch that did not taste anything, maybe because of the blue cheese dressing. The menu promises pees, but there were none. The size of the portion was merely a starter than a main course. The dinner was really disappointing, I would not recommend this place to anybody.More
