Food Scene

The sculptor Gunnar Finne had his ateljé at Arkadiankatu 14 in the 1920's. In the 1960's the place was transformed into a Restaurant. The menu of Atelje Finne focuses on Finnish ingredients. Really nice atmosphere in the restaurant, and huge windows towards the street. I recommend you to reserve a table a couple of days in advance.

Another very newly opened place, and located very close to the apartment! Kanniston Leipomo is a small local bakery chain, with nice quality products. They also sell sandwiches during weekdays, if you want to grab a breakfast before you head out. They also serve small breakfast packages that you can easily bring with for a breakfast in the close by Hesperia park. Their Red Velvet cupcakes are really nice and worth trying out.
