Kappeli
Traditional Finnish dishes: reindeer, fish, etc. Some of the prices are a bit high, but you should get polite service and well-prepared food with a lovely presentation. Cosy, relaxed, relatively quiet atmosphere (although the restaurant is apparently well-known and therefore might be more crowded during late evenings & tourist season). The roasted lamb with garlic potatoes is a good choice, as is their take on Finnish-style blueberry pie. They also offer a cheaper self-service café on the left side of the restaurant, along with a bar (opened in 1867) in the middle of the building.
Main lunch dishes €14–18, main dinner dishes about €15–36
