Food Scene

The best of the best. Fafa's has the best falafels and kabab's in the city. It is a small and cozy fast food type of restaurant (usually very crowded). Everything is fresh and home made. The most popular portion is Falafel halloum pita and sweet potato fries.I warmly recommend this place!

Something you have to see. Nice architecture. In Löyly you can have food, drinks or go their famous sauna and dip in the sea. Nice view, absolutely. If you want to eat something very Finnish and good, order "lohisoppa" (salmon soup). It is great!

Feel like being in London or New York. Relaxed cafeteria/restaurant, nice and healthy breakfasts. For lunch, there is great sushi and sashimi, also very nice and fresh salads. Coffee is excellent. Love the place especially in the mornings. And it is very near from our apartment if you do not feel like cooking breakfast yourself.
