Turun tuomiokirkko from when I was in Turku over Christmas. Looking forward to being back in this wonderful city soon. Any Turku date-night recommendations?

  1. Lamb pasta from Blanko is top tier.
    Also Kuori is superb if you prefer vegetarian stuff, WG wok for vegetarian Vietnamese food with excellent price quality ratio.

  2. Well, one pizza place in market hall got to top 100 in the world (37th?). My favourite restaurants where you can get a table (so, not Kaskis) are Nomad (amazing pasta, good service) and Kakolan Ruusu (great Finnish food, good athmosphere).

  3. I would suggest a group evening out. Preferably not of the pricey kind though, since I’m a poor poor student 😀

    How’s about it?

  4. Delhi Darbar for Indian Food, or Yangtse for Chinese. Both are superb food next to University and Tuomiokirkko allowing nice walk on riverside afterwards

  5. If you like vegetarian food then Kuori is good.
    For good beers I go to Teerenpeli.
    For a “Fun” eating experience I go to pincho nation.
    My all time favorite is Karu, it’s Japanese restaurant and I bit pricey so I only go for that for special occasions, but look forward to it every time ☺️

  6. I like Rioni. If you want to visit a cafe, you could try Café Qwensel for its authentic old building. For drinks, you could try Walo Rooftop Bar for the views. Fontana is also popular.

  7. Nomad Food&Wine!
    A nice restaurant near the city center, with an international feel as most waiters are people who aren’t native Finns, gives the restaurant a great atmosphere and feel!

  8. It’s a handsome old church.

    I love how in our big Parish churches or Cathedrals are called **Judgement Church** in Finnish. The naming kind of stuck because church was a weekly gathering place where most of the local people would go and knew where it was so public trials were commonly held there. The local big church was also usually the largest building in the local area when Finland was a pretty much a farming society, so the building would fit many people indoors.

  9. Depends on what you like and your budget. The tasting menu at Karu Izakaya is pretty damn good, but at the higher end cost wise, especially with the wine package.
